		<title>It Works!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
It works!!  I&#8217;ve been doing &#8220;the to do list&#8221; activity for a couple of days now too.  At first, because I&#8217;m so OCD, I thought it&#8217;d be hard to do things in order.  Like if it&#8217;d make more sense to do something first because I&#8217;m already there or it&#8217;s just take a second, why [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Have I Been Waiting For?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
I have been having trouble sleeping lately. It’s not because I am worried or scared or uptight.&#160; I am not exactly sure why I can’t sleep, but I have been having a wonderful time. It’s time all to myself where I can write, create, even catch up on “lost” episodes. I can read all [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Most Unlikely of Places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
It&#8217;s funny you should mention inspiration, because for me it came from the most unlikely of places today.  I was in my bedroom while Jesse was with the kids in the living room.  He put Lily in the swing and then the doorbell rang.  While he was getting the door, I heard Ally crying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seedlings all around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
I&#8217;ve decided something for myself.  I&#8217;ve decided that I deserve to inspired every single day of my life.  Without fail. Seems simple enough.  But I can&#8217;t believe how many days I have gone to bed just grateful that the end of the day has come.  Instead, I must actively seek those moments of divine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back on Track</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
You keep doing what you&#8217;ve been doing!  That&#8217;s what to do to be the best friend to me.  I understand what you&#8217;re saying, because I wouldn&#8217;t want to say anything that would hurt you either.  But I also know that we wouldn&#8217;t be the kind of friends that we are today if we filtered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Never Doing Anything Never Changes Anything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
Sometimes I don’t know if I should just be your friend or I should be a life coach for you.  I can’t say that it doesn’t pain me to know that you have gone days without letting me in.  And of course, all my old fears about our friendship bubble to the surface. Did [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Glass Prison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
I have fallen silent again, it seems.  Not just with the others that surround me, but with you as well.  I have this habit, when I&#8217;m disappointed in myself,  to close myself off.  It&#8217;s like I&#8217;m in a glass prison.  I can see everything on the outside, but I just can&#8217;t seem to connect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Your Silence is Deafening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
I have had a few days to reread what you last wrote. And its still boggles my mind that you have ever hesitated with what you have to say. I think about what if I had never met you. What if you had been too quiet with me, and I never came to know [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simply Tara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi all!  I have really gotten into this blogging thing and have decided to start my own blog, in addition to writing this one with Bess.  It&#8217;s kind of like a diary or journal for me.  So if you&#8217;d like to hear about my adventures and misadventures with my kids, hubby, dogs, house, family, and everything [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Wallflower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
It seems that for a long time I have struggled with when to talk and when to just sit back and listen.  I have been doing a lot of listening lately, but have really hesitated to do a lot of talking.  I enjoy hearing  people share their joys and struggles.  I like to celebrate [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Counting on You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
If I close my eyes, and think about you, I have only one wish at this moment. My wish is that you may never close yourself off to those of us who love you ever again. Or better yet, I want you to lean on those of us that love you. I want it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
I think you&#8217;re right, we all want to be taken care of like an infant sometimes.  I know that there are definitely times I&#8217;d like someone to baby me.  When I&#8217;m taking care of Lily, I comfort her when she cries, I talk to her, feed her, change her, and love her.  I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time for bed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Tara,
We all run away sometimes.&#160; I think it’s a defense we all have inherent in us.&#160; I will run away from days like today where everywhere I turn, there is another hurdle to leap over.&#160; But sometimes I just don’t have to energy to leap.&#160; Sometimes, I just need to turn away for myself.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running Away</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bess,
For so long I have run away from the silence at top speed.  I have filled my life with more than it could take, in an effort to escape being alone with my own thoughts.  I see that now.  In the beginning, when I bought a house, I decided fixing it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fatherhood Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a new blog that was recently started by this site&#8217;s admin, my husband.  It will be about fatherhood and his experience as he tries to raise a well adjusted, happy and healthy girl.  It will be honest and as raw as possible.  Best of luck to him.
