			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just learned of this great new movie/social consciousness/reality check phenomenon called &#8220;The Story of Stuff&#8221;. I am sharing the teaser below, but go to the website to see the <a href="http://storyofstuff.org/index.php" target="_blank">whole 20-minute movie</a>, free of charge, and political stance aside, see where you weigh in regarding your stuff.</p>

<p>I meet with so many families that are facing changes in their lives regarding their income, specifically recent drop in income, and the discomfort associated with changing social status definitions. I believe that this movie can go a long way to altering the definition of value, worth and consciousness to bring a new perspective and comfort in these changes.</p>
