Read/Write in Forum about Hobbies and Interests - 2 LumiLinks Too.

Are YOU an Artist? Writer? Reader? Garden?  Woodwork? Watch Movies?

Last night I attended a wonderful group time with the Collective Health Initiatives here in Grand Junction, Colorado, where there is NO snow and an almost full moon, but LOTS for skiing less than an hour away -- PERFECT in my opinion.  There are many today shoveling snow and maybe inside more with winter still, so I want to say even last night it felt like spring here!   I sat next to a woman whose business is art.  She was wonderful and will be getting a personal invitation from me, as well as the woman whose card I got at the opening of the gargantuan new hospital building, and she had taken a year to make a gargantuan quilt. 

When I see someone who is particularly good, I tackle them and share what Lumigrate is and what I think it can do for them AND for us if they contribute.  Last night I tackled someone whose business is marketing and printing and all things about 'getting the word out'. But as we talked afterwards, we shared as much about our common hobbies and interests as we did our overlapping business interests which warrant collaborating.  This is why I have put a Forum on Lumigrate.com for people to write about their hobbies and interests -- keep in mind, I'm an occupational therapist, and so how a person occupies their time is how they find fulfillment and their best life, and therefore health.  The Forum is a way for people to commune about things they enjoy together -- exchange ideas, resources, enjoyment and build community related to an important aspect of 'integrative medicine' (which is body/mind/spirit), of leisure and enjoyment.   Yenta and Alice, who have forum areas on Lumigrate because writing was something I could see they were enjoying as a hobby and I felt they had a lot to share that would help others if they were encouraged to create something.  So if YOU have something you enjoy doing, please start at new Topic and write, and then if there's one there already, Comment on it and have a nice conversation for others to come along later and enjoy!
