		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve flirted with resolutions for years. Focused in on 3 Words a few times.

Delve into how you truly are at that moment and possibly share the bad along with the good? Whether because of time constraints or social norms, most of us [&#8230;]]]></description>

What it means to move through ordeals, opportunities and adventures with your energy and your enthusiasm for your work, and life in general, close to intact. And in the midst of it, to remain creative and focused. This week&#8217;s Monday Manifesto couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Not being aware of structure and arcs and rules and just freeing words from my brain and putting them down in some permanent way.
