		<title>Wowed by Structure Lab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Structure Lab &#8211; the place to learn what structure to ask your legal advisor for. It can also be useful for foundations, investors, and others working with social benefit start-ups.
I feel wowed. I have been reading about structures for social benefit start-ups and considering my own for years now. I felt like I had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Gift That Gives Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In January I posted A Gift That Gives. This is a follow-up post.
My daughter has now hear me tell the story a dozen times. Now she tells it proudly herself. We dedicated some time to discussing how she wanted to donate her $100. This was a lovely opportunity for me to share that this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transformative Structures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I read the latest issue of Beyond Profit magazine on my flight to the west coast. I was headed to Beyond Social Media conference. What I most enjoyed reading was about going beyond existing structures. For years now, as part of several startups with varying degrees of social good intent, I have pondered over appropriate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Body Image</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was conversing with a good friend last night, and the subject turned to looks. I said something then that I want to share with you now.
People in general are so self-conscious about their appearance. There are millions, if not billions, of dollars spent on appearance. And yet, over and over people get together and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Gift that Gives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My daughter asked me, &#8220;Mom, what would you do if someone gave you $6000?&#8221; We were on the way to the store and my mind has been challenged by the bills I have to pay. My answer surprises me in hindsight, as I left out the piece of work I have been doing for 7 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blogging Support Group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
To keep myself and a friend blogging I thought we would try a blog support group.
Here is how I think it can work.

Create a support group tag.
Gather several others interested. I think the ideal number is less than 7.
Set a personal goal (x per week feels right). Share it on twitter with the group (via [...]]]></description>

		<title>Closing Triangles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I think of myself as nurturing networks and communities as well as individuals and organizations. And one strategy I use is network weaving. Network Weaving describes the connection made between two people I know who don&#8217;t yet know each other as closing a triangle, because in a network map, this is exactly what it looks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wand of Gratitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Between Jerry sending me the book &#8220;The Gift of Thanks: The Roots and Rituals of Gratitude&#8221; and David Rose saying &#8220;wand of gratitude&#8221; I have to embrace my role as a freaky gratitude fairy. And I want a wand! Not that I think some magic dust will make everything alright. It won&#8217;t. Not that I [...]]]></description>
