					<description><![CDATA[Around the time I first joined Toastmasters, the club president gave a speech about leadership. In Toastmasters, members typically work their way through aÂ Competent CommunicatorÂ manual, and often neglect the other manual they receive upon signing up: theÂ Competent LeadershipÂ manual.

When I honeymooned with my husband in Mexico in the summer of 2007, I chastised him for bringing his laptop, then used it to periodically check in at work. When I went to Europe for two weeks this past summer, I was ready to come home after two days. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[2013 was my lowest-income year since I first entered the publishing industry back in late 2004. I became disillusioned by the freelance writing game and stopped pitching. Stopped blogging. Stopped coaching. Stopped working on my manuscript. I flailed about for something new to do, but discarded each new option as the wrong one. I threw [&#8230;]]]></description>

They were happy tears, because my husband and I had been trying for the past three and a half years. Not only that, but we&#8217;d been about to try a third round of IUI. Talk about dodging a bullet.
