		<title>How to Be a Freelance Writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s get one thing straight: Being a freelance writer isn&#8217;t what you think it is. Your life is as much about business as it is about words, and real freelance writers don&#8217;t go around dreamily spouting off about how much they love to write. It&#8217;s hard work. You will have 10 to 20 ideas rejected [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Personal Power Play &#8211;  One woman&#039;s eco-evolution, from off the grid to on the clock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Chimacum, on Washington state&#8217;s Olympic Peninsula, there are probably more dairy cows than humans. It is a place where it&#8217;s common to see a 1972 Ford F-100 hard at work, way past its expiration date. Where those who own a patch of ground extend their hospitality to friends to park a trailer/bus/boat and live [...]]]></description>

		<title>The cheese log: A road trip up the West Coast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’d like to take a moment to talk about my relationship with cheese. It is different from, say, how I feel about dark chocolate or fresh basil or smoked salmon, all of which have prominent but separate places in my culinary heart.
Cheese is an early sensory memory for me, from when my dad would take [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slopping in the mud for sensational shellfish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had Tom Sawyer summers. My brother, cousins and I would run wild around Lilliwaup, population 600, some 15 minutes north of Shelton on Hood Canal. We&#8217;d spook ourselves silly at the tiny ancient graveyard tucked away in the wooded hills, swearing we felt the presence of ancestral spirits. We&#8217;d splash around Lilliwaup Creek while [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter is a good time to find quiet beauty in Oregon&#039;s McKenzie River Valley</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MCKENZIE RIVER VALLEY, Ore. &#8212; It&#8217;s early and the sun is peeking out in slivers from behind craggy edges of the Cascades. I&#8217;ve just driven 3 1/2 miles up a frosty, winding road in anticipation of taking the first dip of the day in Terwilliger Hot Springs, which trickles down to Cougar Lake and eventually, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Show it like it is: A group of women bare everything to the camera to show that all bodies are perfect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Amanda Koster photo
I stand around in a group of women I have just met, and we make conversation. One is an acting teacher, and we discover we have a mutual friend. A woman compliments my necklace. Someone brings up French food, and we compare eating in Europe and in America. Not unusual things to [...]]]></description>
