		<title>Hey Bay Area, come out and play with us on Quirkyalone Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am excited to announce the details for the NINTH annual International Quirkyalone Day party. This alternative take on February 14 first took root in 2003 with a party in San Francisco (there were also parties in New York, Providence, and Glasgow that year).

		<title>Pumpkin, Squash, and How to Use Your Intuition to Find Love (or a Lover)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coaching is about learning to tune into what you want, and clearing out the voices that tell you you can’t have it. This session my client didn&#8217;t want to talk about her career. That had been the primary focus working together. This time she wanted to talk about finding a new lover.

1) Shame represents our fear of disconnection.

		<description><![CDATA[Stories this searchingly comprehensive don&#8217;t come around that often. The only omission is the quirkyalone movement! Alas!

		<description><![CDATA[Steve Jobs said it best. 
&#8220;Your time is limited, so don&#8217;t waste it living someone else&#8217;s life. Don&#8217;t be trapped by dogma&#8211;which is living with the results of other people&#8217;s thinking.
