		<title>Express Yourself: Reveal Rather Than Mask</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the age of two, my four-year-old daughter has been obsessed with Spiderman. On rainy days, she proudly sports her Spiderman umbrella, her last two birthday cakes have both featured Spiderman, and given an opportunity to dress up (either at home, a friend&#8217;s house, or at a gymboree), she will opt for the Spiderman/superhero costume [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imma &#8211; music to my ears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am ashamed to say that often, when I hear the call, &#8220;Imma,&#8221; from my two girls, I tense up. It is as if, on some level, I resent their encroachment upon my time, my peace, my quiet, my thoughts.  When I stop, in the quiet of the day when they are at gan, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is it any wonder?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, on July 3rd, a Palestinian bulldozer driver went on a deadly rampage in downtown Jerusalem, knocking over a bus, plowing over cars, and damaging buildings. So far, three are dead, over sixty are injured. When you are confronted by unspeakable horrors that defy the imagination, your first reaction is: How? How could this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five Ways to Find the Right Editor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the Internet, and my fantastic designer husband who built my website, my services and resume are on display to the world. No longer do I have to rely solely on my colorless and anorexic Word resume (that has to be no longer than a page in order to be readable) to get the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amongst brothers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last, I think &#8211; or rather hope &#8211; I can say that I have finished making amends to the State of Israel for the accident that I was involved in two years&#8217; ago, and although my license is tarnished with fourteen points that will only disappear after two years of a squeaky clean record, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disney World &#8211; a toddler&#8217;s paradise or a British parent&#8217;s nightmare?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In two months, we are scheduled to fly to the States for a couple of weeks to stay with my in-laws in New Jersey. For five days of that time, we will be in Disney World, continuing my in-laws&#8217; tradition of taking their grandchildren (and their grandchildren&#8217;s harried parents) to Disney World during winter break.

		<title>What ever made me think I could drive in this country &#8211; Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The inside of my head feels like a construction site today. And just yesterday I was thinking to myself (I was smart enough not to voice this thought out loud in case I gave myself an ayin hara)  how nice it is that I have not been sick for a while. Seemingly, it isn&#8217;t enough to ward [...]]]></description>

		<title>A catalogue of car woes &#8211; is someone trying to tell me something?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I wonder if it just isn&#8217;t meant to be. Me. Driving. Behind the wheel. As of today, I am now back behind the wheel. Now that my three-month period of being an intolerable backseat driver has drawn to a close (my poor long-suffering husband!), I can &#8220;talk&#8221; about the experience with some degree of perspective. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>A squash and a squeeze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Squash and a Squeeze is a beautiful children&#8217;s story that is a real favorite with my girls, and unlike many of the other books I read to them, where I am wondering guiltily if they will really notice if I skip a page or five, this is a book I have no problem reading&#8230; again [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning to recognize the signs&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since July, I have basically stopped blogging. I didn&#8217;t feel that I had anything to say, and I figured that a very telling sign that it was time to give it up was the fact that I had to think hard about what to write about, and if you have to dig deep and think about [...]]]></description>
