In a blog post entitled &#8211; The Power of Presence &#8211; Mike Shippey offers a wonderfully-written, thought-provoking reminder of the power we wield as parents, and how we can put it to good use&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fellow mommy blogger posted an interesting piece entitled &#8220;Five things motherhood/parenthood has taught me&#8220;, and tagged me in it.  I thought it was a great idea to use the opportunity to put down some of my own learnings on the subject.  Though, I must confess, I have a feeling that this is going to [...]]]></description>
