		<title>Seven Untrue Things Most Americans Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, it&#8217;s worth stating that this writer is indeed, herself, an American. I was born and bred here, and before you comment with death threats or anything you should be aware that I don&#8217;t hate the USA; so don&#8217;t even bother to assume that I do. In point of fact I love the potential [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Only Me, Right? I&#8217;m The Only One!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time and time again in my work I have clients who confess feelings, quietly, ashamedly, as though they were something horribly awful. Time and time again I have had the privilege of helping them to realize that most of the time, what they are experiencing is not only “normal” but is actually commonplace. And that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be Simply Blessed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to share a blog that I ran across recently which really resonated for me and which I found both interesting and inspirational. We can all always use inspiration in these ah&#8230;interesting times, right? I don&#8217;t know this lady and I haven&#8217;t even interacted with her on her blog, but I&#8217;m telling you, even [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Drumbeats Grow Louder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo credit: taliesin from morguefile.com More and more frequently, I am seeing public, blatant, explicit statements and calls to action from my fellow Americans urging violence and war here at home. It&#8217;s easy to dismiss those as the statements of a few kooks when they are few and far between, but I am running across [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do As I Say, Not as I&#8217;ve Done: Trying Too Hard Is a Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, many of us hear that &#8220;Do as I say, not as I do&#8221; thing as children, and yes, it&#8217;s annoying. But Ms. Sanity has inadvertantly provided a fabulous example of things not to do, and why people say that &#8220;do as I say&#8230;&#8221; thing. It can be helpful when we learn from the mistakes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five Helpful Things to Consider For a Happier Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have challenges in our lives, there&#8217;s no question of that. And some years (decades?) are far more challenging than others. However, there are some time-tested and fairly (to Ms. Sanity) unquestionable &#8220;laws&#8221; of life that will go a long way to helping folks lead happier, lest angst-filled lives.  Yes, some of you will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Republican Ideas About Health Care in A Nutshell: Quotation of the Century.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for this drive by posting (and slow posting schedule of late&#8230;) but I&#8217;ve been up to my eyeballs in a multitude of levels and your Ms. Sanity hesitates to write you darling people unless she&#8217;s feeling at least marginally sane. Anyway, ran across this, and it needed more eyeballs: Apparently Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Please Cut The Crap on Health Care Discussions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am really, really, really, really tired of the blatant, self serving, and manipulative lies coming out of the Right wing and the $1.4 million/day (look it up!) health insurers&#8217; lobby regarding possible changes to the US health care system. Over and over and over ad nauseum I&#8217;ve seen blogs and &#8220;tweets&#8221; and letters to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Mania and Manic Meltdowns</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Obviously this blog is called Manic Meltdown, and just as clearly to those who look around a bit, I rarely write about truly being manic. That’s largely because I rarely am manic, myself, I’m more of a unipolar depressive type myself, when my grip slips. (Yes, I know, that’s shocking to those of you who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best Online College Degrees? Be Careful!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In these challenging economic times, many people are thinking about going back to college. Many former service members recently became eligible for extra economic incentives for doing so. This is a good thing – a sane thing, even &#8211; and as someone once told me, “They can take everything away from me, but they cannot [...]]]></description>
