Keep in mind that the facilitator of such a group should have a mood disorder him/herself...yourself maybe?<BR/><BR/>And thank you, Susan. I have two or three non-denominational organizations in mind who I'm approaching. Their one function is to help faith communities learn how to respond to people with mental illness. Just don't know if they would have money for such a thing as this. I'm not looking to earn anything on it. But I want to use a good editor and there will be the design and production of the thing.<BR/><BR/>Also, having the backing of such an organization will give the booklet and the whole Living Room concept credibility.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-60574140500695061242007-05-13T21:43:00.000-07:002007-05-13T21:43:00.000-07:00Marja,That's great news about your group.

These days, I just try to be grateful that it worked out, and ask for help so that I don't feel overwhelmed.<BR/><BR/>That would be great to get funding for your book. I hope you have some good ideas of who might provide it. I'm a former grant writer but I've only done grants for non-profit organizations. Best of luck with this.<BR/><BR/>Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-7964880267207059212007-05-13T17:03:00.000-07:002007-05-13T17:03:00.000-07:00Marja,The work you are doing is wonderful.

I know that God will continue to richly bless you and you bless others in this marvelous way. <BR/><BR/>Please keep us posted on your progress in sharing this program with others. I, for one, would like to see it implemented at my church and I know there are countless others who would too!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thank you for message on my blog. I know I haven't posted in a while, but I tried to make up for it today! :)<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>SydSydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005916124869961892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-87805523535910818282007-05-12T14:50:00.000-07:002007-05-12T14:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for your encouraging comments Di and zawadi...Thanks for your encouraging comments Di and zawadi.<BR/><BR/>Sarah: Living Room is for people with mood disorders. That covers anxiety, depression and bipolar disorders. We also welcome supporters. So far we have one supporter as well as our pastor who usually attends. Twenty is quite a number of people like that to come together. But the feeling in the room is great. We support each other wonderfully.marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-68086430414701733272007-05-12T14:39:00.000-07:002007-05-12T14:39:00.000-07:00i'm a little late in asking this but is living roo...i'm a little late in asking this but is living room only for people with a mental illness or...?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775415133661532827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-55099676360052279412007-05-12T13:03:00.000-07:002007-05-12T13:03:00.000-07:00This Group you speak about sounds great, and it's ...This Group you speak about sounds great, and it's the people who make it wonderful.EastPAWZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336785595489978362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-3915696694830636432007-05-12T08:38:00.000-07:002007-05-12T08:38:00.000-07:00God has big plans - Praying for you as you expand ...God has big plans - Praying for you as you expand his vision in YOU!
