Message from Moderators

[Guest guest]

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to thank all of you so much for the wonderful response that we had

to our short questionnaire recently! We are trying to update names, email

addresses, and birthdays so we can serve you better. We appreciate your

response back and are in the process of updating all of this information!

Other News: Wanted to let you know that Susie and Shari, who were both

excellent moderators for Affirmations have moved on to other things. We want to

thank both Susie and Shari for all of their many efforts. It takes a lot of

time and effort to help moderate a group such as Affirmations, and we want to

thank them from the bottom of our hearts.

For now, there is Charlene, Dale, Nola, and myself (PJ), moderating the

affirmations group. All of us have various other responsibilities as well, like

a full-time job, like taking a class or coursework, etc., but we try to do the

best we can to be available much of the time. Please realize that there are

going to be some days or weeks when one or more of us is not participating in

the group as much as we might like to, but that other obligations are pulling us

away. At other times, you may get sick of hearing from us!!

Either way, we do care as moderators, and we do try to have your best interests

in mind.

Well, summer is almost over. Many kids are back in school now, or will shortly

be. Fall is on it's way. Seasons change. May we all keep in mind that just as

the seasons change, and as all of our lives change with many ups and downs, that

we have the ability to choose our attitude and to choose our reaction to all of

the ups and downs of life. There are many resources available for all of us --

through affirmations, through positive thinking, through attitude, through the

affirmations group, and through other internet groups.

May we each reach out to others when there is a chance that we can help, or when

perhaps " we've been there " (before). There is too much loneliness and

detachment in the world. May we give each other " warm fuzzies " and comfort,

support, and kindness here at Affirmations. And then, may that strength and

example further reach out to others in the world. Together we are strong and can

do what a single individual cannot do.

We as moderators wish each of you a wonderful fall or autumn season! Next month

(September 15th) we will have our one year anniversary of the affirmations group

on yahoo! I feel that the affirmations group and its people have done

tremendous things for many, many people; and my hope is that it will continue

into year #2.

Peace, Love, Success, & Hugs to All of YOU!! PJ, Charlene, Dale, and Nola
