		<title>It&#8217;s been awhile&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I know, it has been an eternity since I last blogged! A lot has happened. I had a baby, for one thing. Back in January. And so I took a break getting ready for the baby, and when I got back as well. Becoming a mommy has broadened my horizons tremendously and I do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vegan pregnancy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to those who might be stopping by from Vegan MoFo! I&#8217;m blogging this month about all sorts of vegan stuff. Yeah, I do plan on sharing some recipes, but today it&#8217;s going to be a little more information-based, about what I&#8217;ve been doing during my vegan pregnancy. I&#8217;ve pretty much stuck to my vegan [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m back!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have taken a way-too-long break from blogging, but I am back, because I decided to participate in Vegan MoFo for the first time ever this month! I have a really good excuse for being gone, too. It has to do with morning and evening sickness, lack of energy, aversion to food in general, a sudden [...]]]></description>

		<title>A peek into my day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi there. I&#8217;m Joelle. I am a Christian who has been reading YLCF ever since&#8230; um, it was in paper form. I used to have a little magazine/newsletter and I first met Gretchen via an editor&#8217;s e-mail list. Anyway, I have been married to my best friend (known as DH for dear husband on this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quiet time in nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s just something wonderful about getting away from city life&#8230; going someplace different&#8230; and especially, enjoying quietness in nature. We got to do that this last week. We went to my husband&#8217;s neurology meetings in Seattle and got to enjoy some gorgeous countryside while we were there. The weather was fairly nice. One afternoon we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gratituesday &#8211; wisdom from parents, mentors, and other sources&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been mulling over the idea of wise parents and counselors ever since last evening. My DH and I aren&#8217;t parents yet, but we were asked to counsel with a young lady (a cousin of one of our friends). The young lady is about to leave home and &#8220;run away&#8221; to be with her boyfriend [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memories of writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid, (oh man, this is making me sound old &#8211; which I&#8217;m really not), I had a ton of pen-pals. Or at least 20. And then I went away to boarding academy and got too busy to keep up with them all. I&#8217;ve recently been connecting with some on some social [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our love story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Note: due to internet safety, I have left names and specific places off of this&#8230; sorry for the anonymity.  Our story may as well begin sometime between when I was 14-16. When I was 14, I began getting interested in the I Kissed Dating Goodbye philosophy and culture. The idea was that you didn&#8217;t date unless you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goals Progress Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, here is a quick update about some of my goals and how they&#8217;re coming. 1. Journaling. Well, I haven&#8217;t done it every week. But I have written twice since the new year. Not bad. 2. Exercise &#8211; well, perhaps once a week. Need to increase that a bit to make it up to 4 [...]]]></description>
