		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about my personal writing projects lately. Thanks to the sage advice of Julia Cameron in &#8220;The Artist&#8217;s Way,&#8221; I have taken to journaling most days of the week&#8230; and those activities keep me in touch with my inner ticker, while maintaining my balance with Being.
