hi all ono she's been eavedropping again! i overheard this cyber-sibling conversation by chance [hah!] between jane ross and art hirsch about finding speakers for support group meetings and these words of art's grabbed me: >Unfortunately most support groups are unable >to provide much in the way of a stipend or expenses, >and that usually precludes importing speakers from afar. > >I'd think that it might be great to grab other listmembers >on their vacations, though. >"Don't just come and listen - come and talk >and share experiences from your part of the world." i think art has come up with a great and glorious grass-roots idea another way to make stronger and more connections another way to become more self-accepting and thus more VISIBLE one reason that the list is so important to me [us] is that it fills a void the human connection the shared pd experience the 'i am not alone' affirmation there are lots of experts out there who have lots of access to means of getting their voices heard but your being able to 'hear' and respond directly to my voice and my being able to 'hear' and respond directly to your voice is what makes this message this medium the miracle it is what is the biggest cause of pd's invisiblility? shame embarassment self-inflicted isolation what is the fastest way of eliminating pd's invisibility? self-esteem self-confidence self-acceptance what is the fastest way for me to learn to accept/love myself as i am? seeing hearing and accepting others like me your cyber-sibling in seeking self-love janet janet paterson 51/10 - endocarb/selegiline/fluoxetine - [log in to unmask] pwp event calendar: http://newww.com/cgi-bin/do_cal?c:pwpc a new voice: http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/janet/index.htm
