		<description><![CDATA[Yoga is an interesting practice that can be done alone or in a group, and it can be as deep and spiritual as you want to make it. Some people practice meditation in conjunction with or in addition to the yoga practice. I don’t usually. For me, it’s about stretching my body, exercise, and relaxing. I’ve been to many types of classes, and tried various yoga practices and poses. This was by far the easiest, and one that I want to now combine with practices that are a bit more vigorous and challenging. One of my favourites is Hot Yoga, and I mean HOT!

....We will laugh, we will cry, and we will support each other—because at times like this, we really need all the support we can get.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinepeets.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10613001&amp;post=452&amp;subd=christinepeets&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

If the turn-out out the advance polls is any indication, there could be line-ups at the polling station, which will be great. Vote early, and then get others out to vote. Do what you can to make this the biggest election in our history. It’s certainly one of the most important I can remember in my lifetime.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinepeets.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10613001&amp;post=424&amp;subd=christinepeets&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Education; prevention; connection.  Those three little words could sum up discussions held at the Liberal Party's March 2010 Canada150: Rising To The Challenge conference, which looked ahead to what our country might be when it celebrates its 150th birthday in 2017. Of course there were lots of other words that came up in the discussions and presentations, held on everything from pension reform to energy and the environment, to Canada's role in the world, but those three words seemed to come up time and time again.

Those three words seem to be coming up a lot in this election campaign too, and they relate to three others: democracy, hypocrisy, and a near-hybrid of those two: Harperocracy--a word first coined in 2008, and certainly one that fits this election campaign.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christinepeets.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10613001&amp;post=389&amp;subd=christinepeets&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
