		<description>P.S.  Actually, an example is the comment I just wrote.

Isn&#039;t it easier to read than if I had made all that one paragraph?

Hope this is helpful.</description>

		<description>Just a blogging tip...

I find sometimes I am interested in your topic and then see a mass of gray text with big meaty paragraphs and don&#039;t feel like I want to take on reading your blog that day.

I think more people would read if you broke up your text.

Many small paragraphs consisting of just a sentance or two that breaks out that point and makes it more powerful.

Also breaking up text through use of bold, underlining, numbering.

If you look at other&#039;s blogs, you will see a lot of white space in between key points.

When people are confronted by a sea of big gray paragraphs they think they can&#039;t have a quick look at your blog and pick up the key points.</description>

		<description>Love this post. Especially for those of us who go through mania or depression and loose memories as a side effect. One has to then re-engage and make new memories. The best way to do this is to live in the moment especially when they are good.</description>

		<description>Thank you, Elisha, your articles, or blogs are really great. I somehow imagine that someone either really appreciates them, or gets them, or otherwise a person may find them totally meaningless, and not &#039;get them&#039; at all. Is that true, or what experience have you had with feedback.

I used to study Psychodrama with mentors/teachers that were one of the very best things that ever happened to me, meeting them, finding them, having the opportunity to study with them. Are you maybe familiar with Dr. Dorothy, and Dr. mort Satten? Unfortunately, like all great things, their practice and teachings have come to an end as well but will live on....

One exercise early on in my training with them was just this one you mention under 1. Except, they told us to go forward to the last day of our life and then look back and then look back...ask, what advice would you give to you from that place for now. What have you learned.

It then was, and still is, not possible for me to do this, and I don&#039;t know why. The resistance is just too strong. Any ideas? I just cannot do it and do not know why.</description>
