I have a idea....

How would you guys feel if I posted the meditation every day from a book I have called "The Language of Letting Go" by melody beattie???
Would it be cool to do this?? She writes really great meditations and it would give me something to do..
What do you think??? Can I do this??
love north

Hey, sounds good to me Norbelle. I believe you've mentioned her before.
Right on!

Great idea, North! Just be sure to post the copyright info, or source. Something like this:

From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie ©1990, Hazelden Foundation.

When you start the thread I'll sticky it so you could post each day on the same thread.

Cynay also quotes from this source over on the Family & Friends. However, I read your
1st quote today, and It is appreciated. I LIKE that you kept it short and easy to read. Sometimes Cynay's quotes from Lang. of Letting Go are so long i don't have the patience to read them through. I think you have a good idea.

I will like it I'm sure, I like anything like that!

The buttons only work if you do quick reply, then you can highlight it and pick a color and click on it. But if you do it the other way it won't work.

It's no big deal, I'll like whatever you type up, in whatever color.
