		<description><![CDATA[In preparation for this week’s post I took the liberty of re-reading last years’ post in reference to International Peace Day. I found the sentiments important and relevant and was tempted to re-post it. http://wp.me/p1JRpM-5s  Then I gave it some further thought. Wasn’t International Peace Day worthy of renewed consideration? Was it really too much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a truth we rarely think about. When we are busy raising our children, we don’t really think about their future. We view their future in terms of us. Milestones that will be achieved, accomplishments, boyfriends, girlfriends, cars, college…what we want for them.
