Anytime you want to chat you are welcome to chat here. Pull your brain injury friends in here, this is your space, this is your place. If other memebers come in while you are chatting, please include them because this is their room too okay? Our web site, our chat room have been designed and founded to include all of us to come together just the same as the Resouces group. The key is to end the isolation, segregation and separation. We all live with our challenges, wouldn't it be nice to know that WE CAN live in harmony with our challenges and help each other? What a great world we can have to learn to be able to do this? Though we have differences, we have one common goal and that is to improve, enhance, and develope a higher quality of living. Believing in one another, suporting one another, encouraging one another as we would want for ourselves is the best way of beginning that process. I personally have been blessed enough to experience this higher quality of life for many years now. In my desire to share this freely with you I created this site for all of us. You know the old saying, "What goes around, comes around?" Well, that works in a very positive way too. Give it a try and see if you don't feel so much better helping others while you help yourself. Soon your whole attitude and outlook about your disability, difference, deficit, challenge, will change and become one of your greatest assets. A situation by which you have learned skills, even God given skills that help you cope, endoure, sustain, and survive life as a happy, functioning, well intentioned, productive person in this society. This is what I mean when I say, (R)(C)Come join your new Family of Friends in the Circle of hope, where Friends help Friends by helping Friends help themselves!(R)(C)2005 Just wait until you experience that magic, it's magic from above and it is all about LOVE today! Any time you would like me to be present for a chat, Post a message on the "Message Threads", "General" Board Please be good enough to give me some advance notice, so that I may prepare any materials that need to be prepared, or arrange for any speakers. Thank you. ImaLady

Howdy Folks, Here's what's up. . . . If you want to chat in the chat room we all need to work together to make it work. Most of us know that, hu? Soooo, popping in and popping out, hoping you'll catch someone in the chat room, that doesn't work, so don't be disappointed if you are a "popper" ;-) and you don't see anyone in the chat room. Successful Chats happen when people hang in there, what I have done is adjusted my settings so that when another Member comes into the chat room, I will hear a sound that is distinctive for the chat room ( I selected the warning sound) when I hear that tone, I go right to the chat room. So if you go to the chat room, please stay there for a while, it will give me enough time to save what I'm working on and go to the room so I can chat with you if I am available to do so. Please try your best to be patient, I know it's hard, Lord knows I am not long on patience but I try my best most of the time. Nothing good is easy, and nothing easy is that good. check this out . . . ? teeheeeeee! So I've been told, but I think the person was lying!

I will host a chat on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Consistency is the key to success. Please come and join the fun! We will have topics and some times we'll just have open chats, what ever the flavor is for the day you can choose or let me know and I will choose or we can decide just not to choose. :-) Looking forward to seeing you. Any other member who could be so kind as to donate some time to host chats is welcome to post their time and availability as I have here. You don't have to volunteer for four whole hours like I have, it can be an hour or two or four if you have the time but please, if you could contribute at least an hour of you time that would be appreciated very much. This is an interactive web site and membership, and we all get to do this. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun. Only one Host per chat please and hosts can alternate during chats for breaks as needed. It's all good, everyone is encouraged to be a part of this fun process!

Interpersonal Retrospect Interpersonal: "Relating to or occurring among several people." Retrospect: "A review or contemplation of things in the past." This may also apply to one's own experience. American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group, Inc., New York, NY 1994. When support is given and experience is shared it is interpersonal retrospect that is given by the volunteer members of this site, not advice. Every survivor of brain injury is an expert in their own survival, every brain injury is different and every experience is different. Please bare that in mind when interpersonally communicating (chatting) on this web site. Anytime I see you on MSN Messenger, I will invite you to the chat room. So make sure you are on my list and I am on yours. Please come chat in the chat room to chat rather than chatting on MSN Messenger's instant messaging service. That's what this room is for, it is safer and more secure from the chat room. There personal private rooms here too if you want to have a private chat with just one member. Feel free to e-mail me with a time and time zone for when you will be available to chat. I will reply letting you know I will be there with you. We have a lot of fun, interesting and exciting people now, let's get to know one another and continue to support people who are new. We have a great deal of newly brain injured people, caregivers, family members and professionals who work in medicine and psychology on this site. We do not claim to, nor do we intend to offer medical or psychiatric advice from this site. However, our volunteers http://groups.msn.com/BrainInjurySupport/links.msnw may let you know what has worked for them on an intra-personal level. They may also direct you to another site or link that can give you This is strictly a volunteer run support site. We do however, have memberes with special knowledge who are more experienced and are really great at support. Let's meet in the chat room and do what we do best, support one another! Please allow us to walk you on to the Comic Relief Chat room and get you on the server. It is a great place to blow off steam and just enjoy one another in a friendly, safe environment. Thanks so much, ImaLady  Site Manager and your family of friends! |
