		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t had very many life-changing experiences, which I suppose is obvious given the word &#8220;life-changing.&#8221; However, skydiving with my co-workers on July 11, definitely counts as one of those moments. When I think back on all of my adventures, across the world and back again, very few can be identified as events that altered [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe, but 2010 is near the half-way point. Just flew right by us. Seriously. So, it&#8217;s time to check in on your list for the year. Whatever you choose to call them: goals, tasks, resolutions. Most people have some sort of a list of things to accomplish, a bucket-list of sorts. How&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I responded to a ProfNet query. Unlike the many times I have done this before, this time I was the expert. Me. Seriously? Unfortunately, I didn’t hear anything back from the reporter – and I’m not surprised. I didn’t really sell myself. I failed to describe how I was the perfect source [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While on my vacation, I finally got around to reading Eat, Pray, Love. The book, as a whole was great &#8211; a wonderful example of writing about personal experiences and simply about self. However, I don&#8217;t want to write a review, especially since I am quite possibly one of the last people to have read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The concept of defining one’s identity online has been discussed endlessly. I’ve worked to develop my professional persona through Twitter and lately, my website. However, as I enter a new stage in my personal life, I feel the need to document and ultimately share these experiences with friends, family and anyone who is interested. However, [...]]]></description>

I plan on posting my photos to my Flickr account and tossing up at least one additional blog post, but here is my quick recap of Prague (and a subsequent generalization for all of eastern Europe).

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this afternoon, I gave a presentation to the University of St. Thomas PRSSA chapter. It was a great exercise for me, because as a young professional I often struggle with feeling inexperienced and &#8220;too young.&#8221; Throughout the process of preparing my presentation &#8211; and thanks to Arik Hanson for the idea &#8211; I decided [...]]]></description>
