		<title>SLATE Real Basics Computer Workshop is Rewarding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each month, I&#8217;ll be sharing a &#8220;Great Story&#8221; about my service with AmeriCorps St. Louis at SLATE Missouri Career Center. Below is my first story, about the basic computer skills workshops I&#8217;ve been teaching. 

My first month or so at SLATE has been an eye-opening and rewarding experience. When I think to a time that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=407&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Reiki</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last Monday, after listening to Deepak Chopra speak to the power of the mind to heal the body and reading from his new book, &#8220;Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul,&#8221; I decided to make an appointment for a Reiki treatment. I had never experienced Reiki before, and had always been intrigued by the (what I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=398&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Update!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For anyone out there still reading this lil blog, I am still alive!
I&#8217;ve had trouble deciding what to write about, though there hasn&#8217;t been a shortage of interesting happenings in my life since August 14th (the last time I posted!).
One of the biggest changes in my life has been my new position as a Member [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=395&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>At-home Yoga Practice and Playlist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a great at-home practice yesterday morning. Using the following playlist as inspiration, I flowed through my hour-long impromptu practice.
The following songs and sequence are a suggestion for you, if you&#8217;re looking for a fun at-home practice. I&#8217;d be interested to hear your thoughts and your own playlists and sequences!

		<title>Nope&#8230;don&#8217;t like foam.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t like Styrofoam. Never really realized why until today.
 
I read this article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about using Styrofoam to fill in an underground tunnel in downtown St. Louis. The foam will not expand sideways and crumble antiquated buildings&#8217; basement walls. I wasn&#8217;t satisfied with the article&#8217;s explanation of environmental concerns and the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=338&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I was turned away because I didn&#8217;t have any proof of my new address  . Fortunately, my birthday came and my loved ones sent me cards (proof that I exist in St. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=336&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Romance is in the Air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I just finished my second project for Purple Sheet Publishing. It&#8217;s always a relief to hit send and shoot off an assignment into someone else&#8217;s hands. For two weeks, the project looms over my head. Then, in an instant, it&#8217;s gone. Now, I wait for payment and hopefully, another assignment. 
Romance novels are not something I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=333&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Bell Mountain and Elephant Rocks State Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, my friend Katie and I went on an adventure! Saturday, we drove about 2 hours south of St. Louis to the Ozarks. We visited Elephant Rocks State Park and hiked Bell Mountain, Missouri&#8217;s second highest peak! 
Before I get to the photos, I want to share this resource with you. It&#8217;s a wonderful trip [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=318&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Inspiration&#8230;Move Me Brightly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello, blog, remember me&#8230;it&#8217;s been a while&#8230;I know, I know&#8230;
I have some good and bad excuses, laziness being at the top, I&#8217;m afraid. My creative juices have been tapped and drained by my paying freelance gigs lately, and I&#8217;ve been left with little to share with my blog friends (the few following). 
First, let me say [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ashmastandrea.wordpress.com&blog=4453520&post=305&subd=ashmastandrea&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
