		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common things I hear from clients is that they have too much on their plate, or rather things they don&#8217;t even want to have on their plate.

As I got off my bike and crossed the sidewalk several feet ahead of eight to ten teenage boys, I felt a small green [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a recent errand-running trip through our neighborhood, I bumped into no fewer than five people I knew, in the span of stopping at four destinations. That&#8217;s one of the wonderful things about living in a walkable/bikeable community&#8230;except when you&#8217;re in a hurry, of course.
