		<description><![CDATA[That word &#8211; decade &#8211; seems to carry so. much. weight. When looking forward, it seems an eternity. When looking back, it often feels like it flew. 2004 was the year I made the jump from my first love &#8211; journalism &#8211; to my second career &#8211; public relations. And a decade ago today &#8211; December 15, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure if Theodore Roosevelt&#8217;s poetic words technically count as a Manifesto, but his Man in the Arena hits home for me so often. When I need a shot of confidence, when I need that extra oomph, when I need something to think instead of spouting off at competitors and doubters. These are the words [&#8230;]]]></description>

Expertise doesn&#8217;t come from a piece of paper. Life is richest when we become good at a lot of different things.

Whatever the reason, and despite Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels&#8217; imprint on the term, &#8216;manifestos&#8217; have always stirred something in my soul and pulled me in. I tag them, bookmark them, print them, tack &#8216;em up and [&#8230;]]]></description>

It seems fitting to finally write it on &#8216;Women&#8217;s Equality Day&#8217; (aka the 93rd anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment.) Six years ago, I was working for someone else but had just-below-the-surface drive and ambition for something more. Today I am a CEO, founder [&#8230;]]]></description>
