		<description><![CDATA[Right now, at this moment, it feels like summer is hardly the light-hearted, joyful playtime of my childhood.

		<description><![CDATA[As you may know, this month is our 18th anniversary of producing the C.A.R.E. Channel.  I must admit that I am stunned not so much by the number of years we have been doing this work, but by the fact that we have survived so many changes in our society and in health care.

		<description><![CDATA[In 1996, we (Dallas and I) were asked to do a presentation on Florence Nightingale.   So, together with lots of her writings and books, we developed &#8220;Florence Nightingale: In Her Own Words.&#8221;	  This combines Nightingale’s words and our music to bring the telling of her story together with the emotional component that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote about Florence Nightingale’s standard of expectation…to use well the powers we have…I felt the sudden relief that I was not responsible for what I could not do, nor change, nor influence. Nor should I worry about skills I may never have, knowledge I may never acquire, athleticism that is clearly not in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Olympics are, admittedly, the only sports event that wholly grabs my heart and mind.  There is something about watching each athlete take on the impossible, stretch the boundaries of excellence into new constellations of human potential. There is something about the four years in between the Olympic games and what it takes to [...]]]></description>

Born from the Judeo-Christian mission of caring for the ill, this system was educated through a series of parochial and public opinions and theories.
