CIVIAV!!!

This team is a great place to explore and strengthen the positive aspects of our lives and struggles. I don't always manage to do the challenges, but they are awesome. And chatting and blogging is very helpful to me also. Glad you are here!

Just got home from work and checking out the posts! YAY...welcome to an awesome team. Many of us have been together since the beginning and we always welcome newcomers.
Finding your positives and staying inspired is as simple as just taking time each day to make a list of the good things that have occured through out your day. That's one of the reasons that we encourage you to Positive blog. By listing your positives each day, you not only are an encouragement to yourself, but you help to encourage those around you.
Jump right in and have some fun. I work all day, so for me the great part is coming home and reading what everyone has been up to through out the day.

Congratulations on being a survivor! YAY!

PS...you are allowed to talk about your negatives, we all have them, but we encourage you to find the positive within them too.

Hugs,
Wanda

Welcome to the Positive Blogger's team. I try to blog 3-4 times a week, listing the day's positives at the end of my blog entry. I'm not too active on the team, except to Huddle and Blog. I guess I have too many other teams as well.

I am a 6 year Ovarian Cancer Survivor! You're a Survivor too!

Feel free to join our Cancer Survivor's team. You can find the icon for it on my SparkPage. If you don't feel you need the support right now, you may be able to support some other SparkPerson who does need help.

Again, welcome.

Good morning! Welcome to the team, CIVIAV!

Participating in the daily challenges helps to keep me positive, even through the difficult or stressful days.

I am between jobs at the moment but will be working for a breast cancer resource center, primarily developing their RV program. We will offer assistance in finding resources, fun activities such as jewelry making, reiki, massage, etc. while teaching women about breast cancer screening & helping them through their treatment, etc.

I live in New England in the U.S. and my "children" (or "girls" as I call them) are my two cats, Gracie and Katie.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Hello,
Not sure why I've joined - not really a joiner however I just got on to this site a few days ago and am exploring how I can best use it.

I love the positive energy here and want to find ways to utilize the support of others to get fit again and hmmmm, be inspired and inspiring.

I am a life and career coach in Toronto, teen hockey and lacrosse Mom and breast cancer survivor. It's been a crazy few years and what I'm finding is that if I look, my answers are out there. Hello!
