		<description><![CDATA[Today is my birthday, but this post is less about age and more about the depth of passion and focus at any age which exalts ones career and sends one soaring above the rest. I wonder, does the quest toward work life balance need to take a back seat for a short time on the road to greatness?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vietnam is often refered to as 'McNamara's War" by political hacks in the know.  Former U-S Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara is credited with being the "chief architect of the Vietnam war" as stated in this Los Angeles Times blog. That title is clearly not recogized as an honorable work life distinction, but in his death, it dominates the headlines. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actress and film director Nandita Das will be the first one to tell you that she chooses to be a part of stories that are not commonly told, but need to be heard. Whether on screen in such movies as Before The Rains, or behind the scenes,  there is a theme of social injustice that beckons to be acknowledged.

		<description><![CDATA[In the wake of one of  the most anticipated debates of the season,  every Washington commentator is eagerly weighing in on both sides. While debating Palin's credibility was all the rage this week, and her folksy image the target of the tabloids,  I shall pass on judging her performance in contrast to a senate icon.

		<description><![CDATA[The truth is that no one can really take your power, it is yours to give or hold onto. That's why I felt it important to respond when David Bohl at Slow Down Fast (check out his post he has a hilarious video there)tagged me on an original question posed by Donna Karlin at Better Perspective. At her OnGrowing Weekly Challenge she asks...

"Who are you giving your personal power away to and how are you going to take it back?"

		<description><![CDATA[A fractured view of our own character or baggage often appears when we suddenly find ourselves in a state of crisis or chaos, especially in a workplace environment. Taken with our own perspective, the blame game is an easy road to take.

Since 9/11 many of us, (including myself) came face to face in a new and deeper way with our own mortality, our fate, and our purpose. WorkLife Balance suddenly made an appearance and we learned that the human capital so taken for granted, are really disguised human beings - with a desire to have a more purposeful and meaningful worklife in a 24/7 world.

The greatest revelation is that while most chaos appears to be outside of ourselves, it's really in the personal response to such events - which can bring about the most peace. Using chaos as fuel for personal transformation, we create a well of stillness to call upon when in crisis. So here is my list of 100 Ways to Personally Conquer Chaos:

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a week of compu-hell. There I said it. And I know I'm not alone. And as much as I tried to breathe through one technical issue after the next, it was hard to get past the moment and onto other business concerns. Sometimes we get so caught up in one problem and our inability to "fix it" instead of just giving it - and ourselves - a break. And then we think our conundrum is worse than our workplace colleagues.

Obviously, it's all relative. If someone tells you they are having a rough day you can't really compare your worklife chaos to someone elses. Take for example an audio technician named Larry who I met this past weekend. I REALLY felt for this guy. Check out his daily worklife scenario.
