		<title>Unrealistic Goals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite tools for getting things done is setting unrealistic goals.
For example, I recently decided to write a teen vampire novel. I gave myself two weeks to finish.
It&#8217;s now about 2½ months later and it&#8217;s still not finished BUT I am 7 chapters away from a pretty solid rough draft with most all [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Search and Rescue Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week was declared National Search and Rescue Week by the US Senate. We kicked it off Sunday night with an exciting rescue just outside Timpanogos Cave National Monument up American Fork Canyon.
Three men in their 20&#8217;s went hiking up the extremely steep, rocky, precarious AF canyon, then decided to hike back down. They downclimbed [...]]]></description>

		<title>French Vanilla</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this essay I wrote many years ago while digging up examples to use in the English class I&#8217;m teaching at UVU. It&#8217;s from a book I never finished called &#8220;I Have Wasted My Life.&#8221; It&#8217;s about choices and your identity. I liked it and decided to post it here:
Everyone knows the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went for a walk up the street late tonight as I often do for some fresh air and to mull things over. The trees are in bloom, filling the night air with their deliciously sweet scents. I could almost taste the fruit that won&#8217;t appear until July or August. A light breeze rustled their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Courage, Love &amp; the Meaning of Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Forgot to mention: my new book Courage, Love and the Meaning of Christmas is now available in a non-holiday edition: Courage, Love and the Meaning of Life.
I wrote the original version of this book (Gone but not Forgotten) in three weeks and it piled up a lot of enthusiastic fans. The most frequent feedback [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Day of Autumn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I walked outside this morning and enjoyed the refreshing sensations of the first day of autumn.
The sky was filled with high, dark clouds spreading an even, muted, shadowless light; a stiff breeze tousled my hair; and a few rain drops darkened the ground. 
With a few pleasantly warm days behind us, this cold front reminded [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Speed of Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read about a Harvard Business School study which identified traits of high achievers. Even above the expected intelligence, education and attitude came Speed of Implementation.
I find facts like this exciting because how fun is it to make a decision and then carry it out immediately? How thrilling is it to make things happen? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whitney</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Day before yesterday I decided I should drive to California and climb Mount Whitney. Immediately.
Whitney is 14,500&#8242; tall and the highest point in the US outside of Alaska. A significant portion of book three of my Christmas fiction trilogy happens there and as I reached that point in writing the book, I realized that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ya gotta love your friends. I mean really, really love them! Don&#8217;t you? I sure do.
I notice, however, that there&#8217;s a fairly wide gap between those I consider my close friends and the many other people I know and spend time with. It&#8217;s not just that we have a lot in common. It&#8217;s not just [...]]]></description>
