Our Book Reading and Video Screening for the first Quarter of 2024 is Love Dare

It's been suggested that we do something practical here in line with our theme #New Beginning.

Again we've suggested we create a reading competition- online - with a book we can all assess online or a soft copy be made available - chapters or the whole book- and report- or post the video.

These are great ideas. I've been to a number of physical book readings. One had the author of the book read excerpts to us. One had all of us being given copies of the book and we encircled ourselves and read. Another had us sit while one person read from the book and we shared our opinions at the end. Trust me, these were great times in my life. 

I've multiple copies of some books I wanted to replicate in the TLF Centre. I got copies of Love Dare. It would be interesting if we do this once more where we can gather in peace for this.

So for the first quarter of the year 2024, we would like us to read "Love Dare" and have a viewing of the movie "Fire Proof" once again! 

We can share a video of us reading it, or a voice recording, or we can post chats on what we read and what we think of what we read.

...happy new year again

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
