		<description><![CDATA[Never before in modern times have so many people been so interested in food. We can thank foodies for this.
Foodie is a term that has been growing in usage for the past decade. But what exactly is a Foodie, and more importantly, are you one?  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps unknown to many of its residents, Visalia has been developing into a cultural hotspot in recent years due to its burgeoning music scene. Hosting nationally touring bands that regularly play shows in venues with capacities ranging from the mid hundreds into the several thousands, not to mention nationally broadcasted late night TV show appearances (Vampire Weekend, Local Natives, Billy Corgan). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ask almost anyone if they know what ‘self defense’ means, and they will nod in the affirmative.  But do they really know?

Having a daughter myself, I worry when I cannot be with her to offer protection and advice to help her in different situations. This inspired me to create Warrior Women Workshops.  The workshops explain what self defense is, and what it is not. Self defense is not a martial art form, a competitive style, a fighting method nor a combative system. Self defense is actually a series of predetermined procedures to be permanently implemented and consistently practiced in everyday living as an effective tool for women in avoiding victimization.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The roar of the fire as it is being danced in the art of poi is empowering. This element which sometimes is only seen as destructive has suddenly become tame and beautiful.  Fire is so mysterious and intriguing, and then to add the element of dance makes it even more interesting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The words Iron Men conjure up all kinds of images.  In fact, even as I write, there’s an Iron Man movie sequel set to be released which is expected to set box office records. The image it portrays of men is that of strength, invincibility, and power.   The number of men gathering for Iron Men in Visalia at the GateWay Church is also going to be setting records!  When men gather in numbers anywhere that exceed a couple of 100 you know there must be a powerful reason.   With last year’s attendance of around 600, this year’s ticket sales for the Iron Men kickoff are already well over 900 at the time of this writing.  These record setting numbers are happening through men inviting men only and no advertizing!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people don't have the time in their busy schedule to keep up with all of the new and exciting performers bursting onto the global music scene these days. 
 
Unfortunately the local Central Valley radio airwaves don't make it easy to discover the world's newest talents.  Let's face it.  We don't really have a radio station in the Central Valley that consistently caters to new music.  Unless you're tuned into cutting-edge satellite radio stations like SIRIUS XMU you've probably been deprived of many of the upcoming artists that larger city radio stations in San Francisco and Los Angeles are spinning in heavier rotation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my 3-year-old threw the mother-of-all-fits in the check out line of Target a few weeks ago, I should have abandoned my shopping cart and left. Instead I tried to hold my screaming pre-schooler in one hand and place my much-needed items on the conveyer with the other. My 1st grader held the baby while I tried to keep my composure, wondering how many sympathetic eyes were on me.   I could just hear the other customers thinking, “That poor woman!”  On the other hand, surely there were others viewing this public tantrum and saying, “I’ve been there before.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a special time of year when we think of family more than ever.  The holidays and the choices we make for them will determine how we remember them in years to come.  Many of us will struggle with hard times, or perhaps the loss of a loved one this year. There are many emotions and reasons this time of year can be very special or very challenging. But this year, we have a new way to find each other for comfort and joy!]]></description>
