		<description><![CDATA[Every year around this time, I seem to forget about my blog anniversary and this year is no exception! On May 13, 2008, I posted the following as my inaugural blog post: I decided that there needed to be a central site that profiles fabulous movers-and-shakers who have committed themselves to changing the world with a stylish hand and an open heart. Everyday, there are plenty of designers, boutiques, celebrities, fashionistas, and more doing their part to support the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With so many things constantly being thrown in our direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, burdened, and even a little lost. If you have never felt this way, then you are a better person than me and you need to bottle up whatever mojo you’re working with and sell it! Lately, I’ve been feeling that way…Just completely stressed, overworked, and like I would never catch up with my never-ending to-do list. But, I think that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, I had all of these grand intentions for what today&#8217;s Monday Motivation post would be. But, then I forgot to draft a post last night and this morning has been insane in the office. So, I decided two things: I needed a mid-afternoon dance break and I would share four of my favorite songs that I listen to when the urge to bust a move hits me. Enjoy the videos below&#8230;I also have [...]]]></description>

You guys should know by now that I don&#8217;t need a designated month to discuss the importance of serving our communities but I&#8217;ll take any platform that I can get. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in February that over 64 million people volunteered with at least one organization between September 2010 and September 2011. And, of those volunteers, the average person served over 50 hours. You shouldn&#8217;t need [...]]]></description>

I was over having my glasses fog up when I went from the Chicago cold air into a warm building. And, I was over not being able to see when I opened my eyes in the morning. So, needless to say, [...]]]></description>

Her voice, her smile, her perseverance&#8230;All things that somehow made me stand a little taller and sing (in my own key) a little louder. This weekend, I had my own little sing-a-long of a host of Whitney tunes and decided that I would pick one for today&#8217;s Monday Motivation.

		<description><![CDATA[While reading Inc.com this morning, I stumbled across a post titled &#8220;A Powerful (Mission) Statement,&#8221; which focused on the powerful and motivating mission statement for Holstee, a Brooklyn-based company. Although the words are meant to describe the company&#8217;s motto, it also embodies a group of people and ideals. The company actually sells their manifesto on a poster, and has been surprised (but not really) at how it has resonated with people. This got me thinking&#8230;What would [...]]]></description>

On January 4, 2012, she would’ve turned 53 so there’s the reasoning behind that. My mother loved to help others. She tutored foster kids when we were [...]]]></description>
