		<title>Cleaning Your Temple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#39;s that time of year again! Time to think about your spring cleaning! Yes, I know&#8211;I just posted about cleaning your house with natural products, but I think you know where I&#39;m going with this and you&#39;re right&#8211;your home isn&#39;t the only thing that benefits from a thorough spring cleaning.

		<title>Conscious Shopping Cleans House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[House cleaning not your favorite thing? I don&#39;t mind it, truthfully. But I will say this: if I&#39;m going to put the energy into cleaning my house, I do actually want it to be clean. I mean, how clean is&#160;your house if your cleaning products are toxic? My first apartment out of college had the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Comfort of Pondering Plurals Over Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#39;t a complaint, but it&#39;s well past Epiphany and I&#39;ve been &#8220;stuck&#8221; in Vermont since Dec. 23. What&#39;s that thing about our best laid plans? My plan was to come home for Christmas and maybe stay for New Year&#39;s&#8230; And yet, here I am, blogging from my mother&#39;s kitchen table. In Vermont. In what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just Because it&#8217;s on Sale Doesn&#8217;t Mean it&#8217;s a Good Deal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mother hates math and will swear up and down that she&#39;s a dunce when it comes to numbers. My father will then roll his eyes and tell you all you have to do is add a dollar sign and a decimal point and her math I.Q. sky-rockets into the genius range. I don&#39;t know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Counting my Blessings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I talk a lot about practicing gratitude. I try to keep an actual gratitude journal, but&#8212;thankfully&#8212;sometimes I&#39;m too busy to get to it every day. When I do have (read: make) the time to write down my blessings, I realize how much I have to be grateful for. I&#39;m grateful for the Poetic License that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mathematics, Mark Bittman &amp; Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whoo hoo! My e-book, Conscious Shopping: Making Decisions About What You Eat &#38; How You Buy It,&#34; is done!. I&#39;m so excited and it seems like a serendipitous event, since there&#39;s all this attention around real food vs. junk food this week.

		<title>Sweet &amp; Sour Life Lessons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this William James quote a while ago. I don&#39;t mean to sound trite or clich&#233; in saying that it changed my life, but the truth is that it did. I have it in a little frame in my office and whenever I start feeling discouraged or stuck or uninspired, I look at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mr. Dumpty&#8217;s Great Fall</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#39;ve had a little time to sulk, laugh, look on the bright side and cry, I can breathe. If I seem to be riding the rainbow of human emotion, it&#39;s because this adult onset egg allergy business is still very new for me. My life&#8212;quite literally&#8212;changed overnight. I can pinpoint the place and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey! Watch that Curve Ball&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when I thought I had it all figured out&#8230; I&#39;ve been so all about la vida locavore&#8212;loving summer, hitting the farmer&#39;s markets and mom-and-pop farm stands that use the honor system. Not only do I leap at the chance to promote good karma, but Saturday morning I picked up bag of potatoes for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Clean is Your Icebox?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perfection&#8212;if defined as anything other than being perfectly me&#8212;is not a state of being to which I aspire. I have enough to think about without having to conform to some ideal of perfection, which I&#39;m quite certain would not allow for the dishes in my sink or the ripped out knees in my favorite pair [...]]]></description>
