Dad is sitting at the kitchen table, meditating in the dark kitchen. Lymphoma saps his energy, so mornings are the best times for Dad. I don&#8217;t bother him during [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading the book &#8220;Fierce Conversations&#8221; now. The author advocates following a life of integrity and truth. The author explains that the book is not about learning how to confront and intimidate everyone in your sphere. Rather, she cites the synonyms for the word fierce, &#8220;&#8230;robust, intense, strong, powerful, passionate, eater, unbridled, uncurbed, untamed. In [...]]]></description>

Creating the list made me feel like a [...]]]></description>
