		<title>New year… time for renewal.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope everyone is having a wonderful new year in 2012. I&#8217;m still keeping an eye out for those new Mayan Calendars at Costco. My old Mayan Calendar runs out this year so the new one&#8217;s should last a few more thousand years This year I am fine tuning my focus. My priorities for the next while are: Spiritual health. Physical health &#38; vitality Financial health Building my private practice Music / band. I am also planning on blogging here on a MUCH more frequent basis. I&#8217;ll be posting stuff from random thoughts, to quotes that strike me, and just&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Technically Bisexual?? What on earth does THAT mean??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wondering what it means to be &#8220;technically bisexual&#8221;? Is that like saying I&#8217;m technically lesbian (or technically straight) because the people I have dated most recently have been women (or men)? I think we are who we are. My being bisexual is no more a choice than your &#8220;choice&#8221; to be heterosexual, lesbian, or gay. Dating a woman doesn&#8217;t make me lesbian and dating a man doesn&#8217;t make me straight. I am bisexual even if I am in a committed long-term (or life-long) relationship with either a woman or a man. I may APPEAR to be oriented to one gender&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Confluence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love rivers and streams, babbling brooks and waterfalls. I love listening to the sound of the waterways as they intertwine and merge. I imagine where each drop of this moving-churning-blending body of water came from: Perhaps some came from Egypt, others from Tunisia, still others from China, North Korea, The Congo, Israel, or Mexico. Sometimes I even imagine that these drops were not so long ago the moist evaporations from the brow of people there, people like me but with a different life, struggle, beauty, pain. This water we are all drinking (in one form or another) is a&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>My talk which I gave at South Valley Unitarian Church on 8/2/2009 (Much was extemporaneous but some was read from this text).</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello! My name is Joni Weiss. I want to thank Deb for inviting me to share a little about my journey with you today. I was born and raised here in Salt Lake. I am a middle child with my older brother, younger sister, and younger brother from my mother’s second marriage. I also have another sister in Oregon from my father’s second marriage. I grew up in diversity. We went to Our Lady Of Guadalupe Catholic Church. My mother had us marching on the capitol in the &#8217;60&#8242;s with other activists like Archie Archuleta and others. We were on&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Disclosure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m having a very difficult time tonight. To be honest, for much of the last two days. First, my sister insists that I &#8220;need&#8221; facial surgery in order to look like a woman. She says it is obvious to everyone but they just don&#8217;t want to say it to my face. I guess she spoke with everyone I have met in the last couple of years and recorded their feedback. I don&#8217;t know why did can&#8217;t just accept that I do indeed pass well&#8230; or agree that it shouldn&#8217;t really matter either. I mean, I can&#8217;t even afford anything right&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Welcome to my Journey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi! I just created this blog on 6/19/2009 (late in the evening!). I have always wanted a place of my own to post my thoughts, write down my stories, share recipes, music and other things of interest to me. I also have wanted for a long time to start writing down stories from my life. My journey has been a very unusual one so far. I think there are stories to be shared. Of late I have been reflecting on the past 2-1/2 years since I first came out as transgender and the years preceding those&#8230; and in fact have&#8230;]]></description>
