When everything changes in an instant
We're getting a new journaling program!
We're working hard on our new website. Soon we'll be unveiling our new forums. We already have one big announcement to make: we're moving our journaling program over to LiveJournal. Our first journal prompt is at the end of this newsletter.
We're building the new site from the ground up, so your current user profiles, including forum posts, messages and journals will no longer be available after October 21st. Please save your information by copy/pasting the text into another program.
Watch two new videos from this week:
PhysEd is answering your questions! See his responses based on the questions you asked! Watch here!
On the latest, The Page Listens segment, Adrienne hosts caregiver author Lisa Hirsch to talk about her book and the value of personal writing. Tune in here!
PS. It's not too late to be featured in our Caregiver Profiles. Start by answering these questions.
