    A comment on Conversation: Creating a website that focuses on the positive things people do for others instead of just the negative things seen in the media.

    Aug 5 2011: I agree with you 100%! Go for it, start your own blog or site, it doesnt matter how many people have the same thing because we all have different views! I created mine not to long ago, (http://forthelma.wordpress.com) focusing on positve energy and being inspired. I have had some great feedback! Remember, its the start that stops most people. So be like Nike and "Just Do It" I love spreading positive energy, if you need some help or if you would like to partner or anything , let me know! :) Best of Luck!

I even created these pins so people can wear to help them remember how to smile ... http://forthelma.wordpress.com

  • A comment on Talk: Gel: Gotta share!

    Jul 14 2011: THis is true....all of the social networks are taking over....I use it for my blog http://forthelma,wordpress.com
    It has helped me to gain more attraction and share my thoughts. As a younger generation we are being sucked in by the web.
