Where learning is for living
“What I like about it”:
Finding people who struggle like I do
The sincerity of people involved
Hearing the personal stories that worked out for the good
The diversity and freedom in the group
The unconditional love and acceptance
It’s a place for me to be heard and to be with others who have experienced the same thing
Coming let me know I’m not alone in this
I know I’m helping others out
I’m connecting with people going thru the same thing as I am
Giving helps me clear my mind of stress
I try to meet with other people in my situation because I needed to talk about it. I wanted to be understood, so I tried to understand other people
Helping you live in the no spin zone
