[Guest guest]

Tom,

Now, my question is this: How do we help those around us develop

self-esteem? I believe that the gift of creativity is where it

begins.

My feelings regarding this can be found in earlier group messages

actually.

In post 619, I mention that I would like this place to be " A safe

and friendly place. " I mention that:

" We have a good mix of people and participants, and the feeling that

I get when I come here is one of my own little hideaway where I can

go to to escape from the real world and be with people I can relate

to, and I hope you all feel the same. "

and...

" This is the type of atmosphere I would like to maintain, and I would

like you all to help, just by being yourselves! "

In message 840 you can see some of the whimsical ideas I had

regarding making FAM a place for all.

Post 845 encapsulates my views on posting:

" As I have said before, everyone is free to come and go as they

please. There is no pressure to participate because when we feel

the most free with ourselves, we are at our best. But I do enjoy it

the most when we get some good conversation going too. "

While these excerpts might seem to have very little to do with self-

esteem, they really do. People need to have an escape from the world

where they can be themselves without trepidation. That was the

original idea behind this site and its its sister message boards and

as I have stated, I am trying to take steps to capture the original

FAM feel if I can.
