just woke up, created this before breakfast.... pls excuse the typos and possible lack of flow
thread still being created... though you may view as is(:
I woke up with something that has been on my mind for awhile....I am writing to ask members- those who currently share on the forum, brand new members who are very new... to start a DISCUSSION thread.
Its so wonderful to be sharing what we love again around here again... though ... would love to hear about what you are learning and what inspires you...that we can share on the site in the form of a discussion .... so many possibilities The creator of Bmindful Lee, brought discussions to Bmindful in 2007. Before that (2005-2007) we were strictly and wonderfully affirmations only. Lee wrote this in 2007 when we moved here: I am about to introduce ‘discussions’ to bmindful. The bmindful discussions are provocative statements, questions or short stories written with the intention of getting the entire bmindful community involved in a topic specific discussion. There will never be a right or wrong opinion, and everyones comments are equally valuable. The purpose of the discussions is understand as well as be understood, we’ll learn new ways of looking at things, and all come away better people.
Most of us derived pleasure from just logging on(: What is a DISCUSSION thread? Choose a topic that is near and dear to you... & /or something that you simple wonder about and would care to hear from other members regarding the creation of the life you love.

So many topics would fit the bill. We have very few restrictions around here.... And very few 'how to's (: We just ask you refrain from selling things, posts with profanity and/or prejudicial slander.... slander toward one another is a definite No. And we ask that you are inclusive to all who post on your thread. For awhile I created a thread around someone obviously selling something lol. I got tired of saying we don't do that here(:
I've been around blatant stuff, and found a way to enjoy. Now I'll just keep it simple and ask... lets start some discussion threads.
Do you have to be friends with all members you are kind to? Heck no! Though being kind to all members who are your friends or not is a good idea. And the benefits of that can best be seen not only to those you actually respond to... though for you too. Bmindful is an Appreciation community. Not everyone will like one another, though I believe I can say all love you without blinking an eye. This is 1 reason why the good energy has remained so strong over the years. All felt at ease being themselves and sharing with all. For those of you are new to Bmindful, you may wonder why are there so many threads created by me? 1 of a few reasons ... I receive so much from creating on this site.
Another reason: we had a lapse of posting when Bmindful was owner-less Many threads from others are missing or defaced due to some negativity that existed around here for more than a few years.... real hurtful kind of stuff...
Though....the mishaps around here were gifts too... They brought out passion (even more) for this site.
So, don't think you have nothing to give of value because here on Bmindful we prosper from it all. Here is an example that some may not have thought about.... Contrast....is another form of reinforcement/inspiration. This is when 1 member creates from a place that doesn't resonate with you..-you learn more about what matters to you.
We have had members who created some of this contrast, and it went too far, and let me tell ya.. inspiration was incredible back then lol.
This occurred when we were in between owners, and no moderator could ask for self correction.
So yes Bmindful is known for its positivity and of course AFFIRMATIONS.... And it is also remembered for its discussions on the forum. Not everything focused on affirmations and the Laws of The Universe...although we had beautiful discussions that did. At this time the only wonderful discussion threads we have are:
This is why Happiness Mtgs. Workshops and Series threads were created. To be a forum with 1 another.
Challenges of the past: threads a member created (both helpful and ...not so much) all contributions left when they did. I wasn't just inspired from the contrast... there were some awesome pieces of information Though unfortunately were intertwined with things that became hurtful, or non-inclusive (read-only threads... or disrespectful when visiting their creation) That is done! And much good came from it. We know what we want and we can create it! Many threads are simply gone due to the behaviors that existed when we were in between owners. Well that is a thing of the past. Create away now(: I love this place like many of you do!!! We want everyone to enjoy. Our forum is beautifully joyfully unique. And if we don't share your enthusiasm for something that works for you-share it on someone else's forum, and come back and create the huge level of possibilities you can easily post on Bmindful. Or just share with yourself.... Down the road some one may join in(: Many read Bmindful...who do not join the community... or create on the forum.... |

I was speaking to a member last night... and I said I share a lot... I share the depth of my heart, though I rarely share in depth. That's me(: Feel free to share as you like ... just be you(: For example just yesterday I wrote on a thread: I had a beautifully harmonious day and attributing it to a wonderful answered prayer and affirmation-manifesting I didn't detail my day.... Though sometimes I do... Its just about expressing what your heart is saying... in the way that unwraps the present of living in the present(:
