*** Group Discussion Scheduled for Sunday Night!!!

[Guest guest]

Howdy! And, Hello To All My Good Affirmations Friends,

How is everyone tonight?! I just wanted to pop in and say hello, and to

welcome all of our new members to affirmations to de-stress!!! We have a great

group of people here at affirmations, and I know they will be happy to chat with

you as well.

Feel free to introduce yourself to the other affirmation members whenever you

feel ready to do so! Be sure to check out the archives or older messages on the

affirmations group site also! They are located in the left-handed column and are

located where it says " MESSAGES " . Just click on MESSAGES and it will bring up

all of our groups' messages that go back until 2002. You can also do a search

by clicking on messages and then typing in a topic or keyword in the box! I

recommend that members read those older messages -- especially on a slow week

when we don't have as many messages being submitted as normal. Sometimes we go

out of town, or get sick, and don't get around to posting messages each day, and

then ...that is an excellent time to go to the group site and read them there.

We have a terrific group of moderators here, too -- , Charlene, Jace,

Max, and Pam -- Thanks moderators!!!

I am PJ, your group list owner, and I'm mom to 3 kids & 2 dogs. I'm also

happily married and celebrated my 31st wedding anniversary on last Tuesday! I

had a really good week for the most part. My 51st birthday was on Thursday of

last week (yesterday), and I was able to go out to lunch with my new

daughter-in-law and my youngest daughter where we had mexican food and chatted

for several hours! Overall, it was a pretty great week, although there were a

few stressful days as well. My son is a firefighter/emt/paramedic and there was

a huge fire in a 6-floor office building this week in Houston, TX (where he

lives and works). There were some panicky moments until we heard that he was

safe and well. My oldest daughter is in medical school and had our first

grandson (who is now turning 1 in May)! And my youngest child is 16-years-old

and is home-schooled, and quite busy with her active lifestyle as she is quite

musical. Guess that is about it for my brood around here.

Tonight I just wanted to say hello to everyone, and to let you know that I'm

grateful for my blessings of good friends and family -- and for our affirmations

group, positive thinking, & affirmations ( & uplifting stories) that help

brighten our work-week. I appreciate everyone's support here, and want to thank

everyone for all they do to contribute to this affirmations group!

I'm accessible, so don't hesitate to ask questions if you want to. Also, for

anyone else that might like to introduce themselves here -- feel free to do so

at anytime! In this group, there are times when everyone seems very busy with

their hectic lives, and just reads the group messages and the message board is

kinda quiet. And then there are those times, when people get more chatty and

either a topic is introduced and discussed on here, or when someone asks a

question about affirmations or something else, and we all get together and

contribute to a discussion.

*** In accordance with that, I'd like to make myself available for an OPEN

DISCUSSION for ALL GROUP MEMBERS for this coming SUNDAY, APRIL 1st IN THE

EVENING for a couple of hours!!! I don't have a particular time scheduled yet,

and am willing to take suggestions for a 2-hour period of time this SUNDAY

NIGHT!? Just write in before Sunday Night, and if we get enough response for a

particular time -- we will write back in and make a definite schedule before

Sunday Night!!! I live in Central Standard Time (with daylight savings). We

will try to coordinate a time and let you guys know before Sunday night! ***

***Also, we will have a guest speaker on Sunday night to help me with the

discussion! No, it isn't someone famous (at least, not yet!!). But, it is

someone who has experience with affirmations and how they have worked for them

in their life! ***

Guess that is about all for now -- stay tuned for Sunday evening! If we get

enough response this Sunday evening, we will try to set this up for MOST or

EVERY Sunday Evening to coordinate a discussion! Either for 1 or 2 hours --

whatever time frame we seem to need. So if you guys have any feedback on this,

please write me at:

mollyann365@... (Be sure to write " affirmations " on the subject line)

Or write:
