Survey says
Mood:  chillin'

I decided to administer my own survey via surveymonkey.com to see where folks are at on the weight loss and wellness mindset. This is a preliminary survey to see what direction I am going to take into the new year. I am letting my survey run until the end of the week and then do my own analyses of my data and go from there.

 

 

Things are picking up again....
Mood:  chillin'

Things are picking up again on the message board as well as a few other endeavors I have been trying to jump start again.

Perserverience and hard work seems to be paying off little bit by little bit. I just keep plugging away the best way I can and hope for the best.

I got an unexpected very nice product to use as a promotional item from a company called Myron. It is a very nice leather bound pocket planner and notepad. It has the company logo on it and our city,state and zip. Can you say wow?? It is really nice. I am hoping to get enough saved up to send to my supporters as a end of the year gift for sticking with me through the year and helping me make us a great place once again.

Minor hompage changes
Mood:  chillin'
I made a few adjustments today on the homepage I just edited the contact information and updated my bio information. Some folks seem to be really on board with this Walk Across Kansas Idea. We will see how much of a boost this gives my message board as I posted that folks who view my 360 page on yahoo will have to go there to find out my progress.

New changes seem to be helping

I made some administrative changes this week. I brought on some new talent for helping with designs and such. So far she seems to be interested in staying on board with us. Only time will tell. If all goes the way I am wanting them to she will be the co designer for the main site as well. She has Paint Shop Pro experience which is a huge plus for being a new assistant to the group.

I got a business card from the local TV Station today and mentioned I would like to get in touch with them about a story idea. I will eventually email the lady and see if she can run a peice on the Saturday evening news. I want to showcase the group and try to get my presence out there more locally. I have too many creative irons in the fire. LOL.

Award Winning Site
Mood:  a-ok

I had to share the good news despite lack of member participation my group still won a review award. I am going to end up kicking some managers to the curb though because I see them log on and they never go to the boards to help me field questions or anything else. I already made an executive decision last night and deleted a moderators board I set up for them due to lack of activity.

It is their loss I suppose I am finally getting us where I wanted us to be again after moving from one host to another I guess they don't want to be part of the same run of good luck that we once had.

So anyway I just wanted to let you folks here know to go check out my award. I put it front and center so it is the first thing people see when they hit our group. I will leave it that way for a month, just so folks can enjoy it.   

                                                 

 

 

Issued yet another challenge
Mood:  chillin'

I issued another challenge to get posting up I hope it works. I am thinking of renaming the group to reflect more of a local Kansan feel. I don't know it is so aggravating I see my ladies pop on and no one posts to the group. Guess we will give this latest challenge idea some time to take root and see what gives.

In the meantime check this site out.

What makes a good group

Sharing
Through sharing shows you care about others happiness and respect the rules of being in that list.

Caring
Caring enough to take a few minutes out of your day to ask about someone's family, health or job can make all the difference in the world to a person. Who know's...You may have been the only person who cared enough to ask.! If you are in a support group and you have been well, it would be nice to stop in and still give support to those who are sick.

Friendship
Through making comments to others and reading their sends you make them feel like their send was worth taking the time to send. In turn, you get to know a little bit about each others hearts. We can't get to make me friends if we don't post to others and answer posts from newer members. to make a friend, you have to be a friend.

Laughter
When you make someone smile, its like giving a gift to their soul and sometimes you might just make their day. Laughter is good medicine.

Surprises
When you surprise someone with something that you know they love to get, you make that person feel so important and happy that someone thought about them .

Teasing
Teasing others is good if in good taste. Lets others know you are alive.

Saying "Thank you"
Means a lot because you know you touched that person somehow and just makes for a good day for them. If some one tries to make your day brighter by posting a joke, thier heart was in the right place, to lift your spirits.

EVERYONE

It takes participation from all its members to be a great group. All the above add up to less stress on the managers and make the group a healthier, friendlier group. Groups are supposed to be fun, members can post jokes or funny things too.It is not the managers full time job to do all the posting.
