		<description><![CDATA[I have always struggled with wording what I want to say. Recently, a supplier whom we used often in the past invited me to a Show / luncheon for their company. They also mentioned the fact that we have purchased considerably less in recent months. I returned their email saying: I did receive the invitation, unfortunately I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s success story is a post on a previous post &#8211; blame it on tivo. The post talks about how lying undermines trust in relationships, even if the lie is relatively minor. Here is the post. Nicely put. I have tried convincing people of this many times.
