		<title>Core Values Most Important in Executive Career</title>

		<title>A Question of Etiquette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forget which spoon to pick up &#8211; I have some serious questions I need answered:

How often can I get together with my son&#8217;s girlfriend&#8217;s parents without it being weird?
Is &#8220;bless your heart&#8221; still an insult if they hug you while they say it?

		<title>Confessions of a Corporate Wife in Training</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A wise woman once told me to look the part, even if it&#8217;s not true. Such philosophy went against my grain, but later I realized what she meant.

		<title>Creative Connoisseur or Culinary Crockpot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was cooking up a storm last week, after my sister-in-law gave me a copy of January&#8217;s Semi-Homemade magazine.
