Hello,

Welcome to any new folks who have joined the group. As most of you
know, this group is very un-moderated, which means that anyone can
join without prior approval by the list owner. That's why you don't
automatically get welcomed or introduced, as is the custom in many
other email settings.

I would encourage everyone who feels comfortable to use this place
as an alternative to pen and paper, what is said here stays here,
and nothing will be shared unless the permission of the author is
given.

Thanks for joining. I hope that everyone will find this to be a
comfortable place to write out experiences, thoughts and feelings
whiel traveling this sometimes difficult, but always worthwhile,
journey.

Sue G.
