		<title>10 Thoughts from the Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love traveling with a purpose. Being in a new place makes me feel more alive and alert. I want to gauge the spirit of a place, the stories of her people, the ways they do things. It also always makes me grateful for where I come from and what I do have.

		<description><![CDATA[Today, on International Women&#8217;s Day 2010, I would like to introduce you to a picture of tenacity, strength and Hope. 
I got to meet Audrey (pictured here) during a short stint when she lived in Canada. Now she stands as a courageous, beautiful woman in the fight for her life. Literally.
I am sharing it today, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=1682&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Half the Sky Live (the movie experience): Not on My Watch!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The words of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and human rights activist, still ring in my ears. She was one of the featured speakers during last night&#8217;s Half the Sky Live event that took place in theatres across North America. Ferguson told the story of going to Nepal, one of the world&#8217;s poorest countries, in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=1905&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Do Women Not Hold up Half the Kingdom?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the past few weeks I’ve noticed two church and culture conferences powered mainly by testosterone. In fact, one of the conferences presented over 20 speakers—and as I scrolled through the photos of the speakers, it’s like my smile stretched into a frown, because not one single voice on that speaking platform was female. My [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=1881&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Mutuality of Suffering, or When One Hurts, We all Hurt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life takes on a very different light when seen through the prism of others&#8217; suffering. I was in Cancun, Mexico when the earthquake shook Haiti. I remember sitting on the couch in a beautiful suite, looking out over the expanse of water that stretched through our windows and holding the tension of wealthy and poor, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=1883&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Idelette&#8217;s note: I wrote this piece in the week following the earthquake in Haiti. It seems appropriate to post it as part of my reflection on Lent and Suffering.
Haiti: Making Sense of Suffering in a So-called Perfect World
I made banana bread with my 4-year-old this afternoon, while the two-year-old napped. We stood at the island [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=idelette.com&blog=5205401&post=1864&subd=idelette&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>From Suffering into Resurrection: 40 Days of Lent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. How I understand this (with my Dutch Reformed roots, whoo-hoo Pentecostal tendencies, friends in every denomination imaginable, a non-denominational church I treasure and a belief that I can find Jesus in every person I encounter) is that this 40-day period marks a deliberate journey into suffering.
