			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at <a href="http://thecalmspace.com/about/" target="_blank">Karen Wallace</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://thecalmspace.com/" target="_blank">The Calm Space</a>, Pink Apple has a regular gig as the Relationship expert in the <a href="http://thecalmspace.com/category/relationship-space/" target="_blank">Relationship Space</a>.</p>
<p>Every month The Calm Space has a theme.  Each week, 3 or 4 of the contributors add some more food for thought on the month&#8217;s theme. As the month progresses, the roots of the theme get tickled and tackled. Opinions arise, stories develop, and sometimes controversy takes the stage!</p>
<p>This month&#8217;s theme is &#8220;purpose&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, I&#8217;d argue that purpose is a bit of a new-age, coach-induced phenomenon.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m a coach &#8211; kind of!<a href="http://www.pinkapple.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/A-Crafty-Kick-by-Nigel-Wilson.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-743  aligncenter" title="A Crafty Kick by Nigel Wilson" src="http://www.pinkapple.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/A-Crafty-Kick-by-Nigel-Wilson-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>If the Calm Space is about moving &#8220;<em>from stress serenity one step at a  time</em>&#8221; then I reckon purpose should be given a good kick in the backside!</p>
<blockquote><p><em>So I’m reluctant to add having a purpose to the relationship  “shoulds” that hang like boulders around our necks.</em></p>
<p><em>I figure that just like you learn to pick your battles with your  adolescent children, there are other more important relationship  “battles” to attack, than having a purpose! </em>[<a href="http://thecalmspace.com/2010/05/purpose-better-relationships-need-something-more-basic/" target="_blank">more</a>]</p></blockquote>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Oh by the way, Karen offers an excellent e-course to get you helping yourself.  Called <a href="http://thecalmspace.com/" target="_blank">A Month of Me Time</a> it&#8217;s an excellent freebie.  I suggest you try it!</p>
