		<title>The gift of the Magi?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of our former clients &#8211; Day Spa Magi has been transferred to new ownership.  It&#8217;s always a little unnerving and exciting at the same time when this happens to a business.  It&#8217;s unnerving because it&#8217;s change.  It&#8217;s exciting because you don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s coming and in which ways it will be different.  We&#8217;re not [...]]]></description>
