		<description>Scott,

Thanks for the kind words! I really try to make it practical but challenging and hopefully fun, all at the same time. Patronizing people is not going to help them get to where they need to be. I think everyone screws up and makes bad choices every now and then, and I try to relate to that. Get rid of the ego? Heck, that&#039;s how I know that what I feel and think is real or imagined. Its one thing to make choices but you have to feel good about what you&#039;re doing or have some other reason for doing it.

Will do on the keeping &#039;em coming! Trying to decipher the 2000 pages of the Healthcare Bill so I can write something about how it relates to the average Joe and the future of counseling. Don&#039;t worry, I&#039;ll make it fun.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Jim,

Thanks for sharing.  I&#039;ve been following your blog for a couple weeks now and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your articles.  Your writing style is incredibly helpful without being the type that bashes in the reader&#039;s ego.  I appreciate that - it seems like too many people these days treat the ego like something to be exorcised.

Keep &#039;em coming!

Best,
Scott</description>
