		<description><![CDATA[This week the WordPress.com photo challenge is brought to us by Michael Pick. He asked us to take a picture of ourselves or of someone else as a shadow, a reflection, or a lesser part of a scene, making the background, or the foreground, the center of attention. This one was not as easy for me to capture as I anticipated. Remember I am a total amateur photographer. I never even tried to take creative shots until this past year and I still use the auto settings on most shots. I decided to take a <a class="entry-excerpt-link" href="http://dswalkerauthor.com/2013/05/24/weekly-photo-challenge-in-the-background/">More&#8230;</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dswalkerauthor.com&#038;blog=18095724&#038;post=4209&#038;subd=dswalkerauthor&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

			<media:title type="html">The Hindu word, namasté (pronounced nah-mah-STAY). When I read &#34;Aspire: Discovering Your Purpose Through the Power of Words&#34; by Kevin Hall, I learned that Mahatma Gandhi once told Albert Einstein, “Namasté. It means I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you of light, love, truth, peace, and wisdom.” Hall notes, “It recognizes that no one, not one soul, in the human family is exempt from receiving gifts that are uniquely his or her own.”</media:title>

		<description><![CDATA[This week Sara Rosso is challenging us to share photos that represent patterns to us. The world is full of patterns so I can&#8217;t wait to see what others are posting. My favorite patterns are from mother nature, but I also love architectural patterns. What about you?
