			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://smittenandspun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/20110923-081348-800x597.jpg" alt="" title="20110923-081348" width="800" height="597" class="alignnone size-hero wp-image-1078" /><br/><br/>In a world where there aren&#8217;t enough hours in a day for our jobs, our friends, our family, or <em>ourselves</em> we are perpetually pulled in countless directions &#8230; both from our external demands as well as internal aspirations. This tension, when kept in a healthy balance can result in spectacular realizations, subtle shifts and complete transformation. When we learn how to avoid spreading ourselves so thin we have the power to bend light into something magnificent.<br/><br/>It&#8217;s amazing what you can learn from a few droplets of dew nestled in the veins of a sidewalk strewn leaf.</p>
