		<title>Situations, Change, Fear, Joy, Madness&#8211; aka Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This would normally be completely overwhelming. Change is apparent in growth&#8211; Change is present in life&#8211; Change is a catalyst of revival and fresh starts, it also fosters new relationships and new opportunities.  But in most cases, change is really really hard.

		<title>Caring for the Poor</title>
