		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Live life without any regrets!&#8221; We have probably all heard this admonition, and perhaps even thought it sounded like a good idea. I have even on occasion heard people boast that they do in fact live this way. Sooner or later, we will all come to the end of our time here on earth. When [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The embrace of minimalism, for me, grew out of a lifelong pursuit of simplicity. It was around 1999 when I first began to get serious about minimalism, systematically reducing and eliminating my possessions. In other words, I was a minimalist even before minimalism was cool, though I lacked the vocabulary to easily describe my philosophy; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent essay, Losing purpose, described finding myself without purpose: a widower and empty nester in the same year, a vocational crossroad due to a career that has run its course, and a lack of connection to any particular place have all left me feeling lost and without direction. I am still in that same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My sister, Beth, shared a statement on my Facebook wall earlier that made me pause to think. I listen when Beth talks about grief, because she has known far too much already in her own life. Experience does enable people to help others along a similar path, though grief is a path we would all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Purpose. It’s that inner sense, that internal guidance, that provides a reason to get out of bed in the morning, to go through the day, to live. Living without purpose then is not truly living; living without purpose is instead going through the motions, it is pretending to live, all the while wasting a life. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have written several times in recent months about my experiences with grieving. Grief is proving to be a process, though I would prefer that it were not. In other words, the way I am experiencing grief is evolving and continually surprising me. I am blindsided periodically. I have taken to referring to this period [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have said many times in the past few months that I am dead inside; a large and important piece of me died July 15, 2012. I still believe this. Tonight though it occurred to me it is equally true that I am slowly dying. Each day a little more of me dies. A big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was 15 weeks ago today when Terri had to leave us. In my own mind, those weeks feel more like a lifetime. In many ways I am no closer to coming to terms with her death now than I was in July. The busyness of preparing for the funeral, followed by the self-imposed busyness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food experiments People, at least in my experience, seem to eat what they are accustomed to eating, with little thought given to the matter – unless finances, circumstances or health needs dictate otherwise. It is easy to assume, simply because we have always done something, that we suffer no ill effects from our choices or [...]]]></description>
