141. Oh, please do!!!
Thank you for the kind words, niyad!!! :hug:

I agree...DU sure showed what community is all about yesterday, and I'm tremendously grateful to be an observer in the process.

PLEASE, PLEASE DO spread the word about Wishadoo!

The thing is, until more and more people take a leap of faith as Rocky did, we stay isolated in our daily struggles. It's not always monetary gestures that are needed -- there are so many ways we can come together as a community -- online and offline -- to ease the struggles of another, and release some of our own. Simply pointing someone in a direction to find the help they need can be a huge gift; when we're in the midst of the crisis or struggle, sometimes we can't see our way out, even if help is there.

We needed a focused place for this type of compassion -- a true grassroots community devoted to this intention without having to belong to a certain organization or religion or any other parameter. I don't live near family, and don't belong to any group locally which I could consider a support group, and I know many are like me. I identify with that sense of isolation and how frightening that can be.

So, Wishadoo came into being.

I will be working diligently to start spreading the word about Wishadoo in earnest now, and work toward offering ways of how I envision Wishadoo Communities taking root where we live, in our local communities.

It doesn't matter if the site is perfect -- it can do what it was created to do and I trust people will help create it -- groups and other features they need, we need -- right along with us.

Thank you for connecting to the idea and for wanting to spread the word. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for that!
