Comforting advise from a wise judge

You are not alone. We have a wise friend, a judge, who sired and raised twelve children. He used to say, “There are four kinds of people.

• Those who have had problems
• Those who are now having problems
• Those who will have problems, or
• Those who are in their grave.

Well . . . this wisdom applies only to the first three categories. Category two will derive the most benefit here. With our economic collapse those numbers are growing. This blog is for anyone who feels they could use assistance in dealing with the stresses of life in a positive manner and/or those who are big on personal growth (I hope that’s a lot of you).

Why you’ll want to visit us often!

This blog has been created to serve those who have undergone tragedy, trauma or personal stresses and are looking to strengthen their lives. This blog contains information to help you become empowered through your trials rather than victimized by them. It is a place to . . .

1. pick up archived Monday Morning Tips for Surviving and Thriving. (The first 17 weeks are sequential and the concepts build on one another).
2. link to the blog where you can make comments or ask questions on the Monday Morning Tip for Surviving and Thriving.
3. share your stories about how these tips have, or are, helping you, or your loved ones.
4. provide dialogue for making the tips more helpful.
5. advise you of new, free, self-help information available at www.claudianelson.com.
6. grow the group , and as the need arises, develop forums, small online support communities, for those working through similar issues.
7. share your wisdom.

First posting

We're giving a lot of thought about how we can design this blog to
be of most value to you. While this blog is new and hasn't yet had time to develop much traffic, for the few of you out there who are aware it's here, I'm asking, how could it best serve you.
Our ideas will be forthcoming tomorrow.

Blessings,
Claudia
