		<description><![CDATA[I acquired items for my list in a variety of ways. Some I experienced myself. Others I learned by watching students in my workshops or groups. And some I speculated must be true. For example, I assumed that after I told my own story, I would gain the skills to write other people's stories, as well. The benefit seemed self-evident, but I was not yet ready to test it. <a href="http://memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/how-to-write-a-profile/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
