Okay I'm in.

Yay

(as Whitney I believe coined the name) :tup:

We can have any name we wish! I used Team 21 as it was 21 days of giving to ourselves! Open to Ideas!

 

[Changing4Best]

I like Team 21 or TEAM 21 in caps. Either is good.

Dear Whitney, and SweetPeaandSunbird above, you can have my spot. Xox.

 

[Changing4Best]

I'm back.... wasn't feeling so well yesterday, but am holding my own today. Awaiting the 7th with open arms!

 

[DharmaGirl]

Alby, we'll miss you. I am looking forward to another 21 days of happiness!

Zaniara, Remember this is not a competition against others.

:D (I think you said exactly what I needed to hear.. Thank you! I tend to do that.. make everything about "being good enough" or something like that..)

I got some bad news Thursday, so I've been down and fighting the depression(getting better); so I will join in again when we start.. (Still working on the mediation thing.. it's hard! )

A positive thing that happened is that I refused to go down with the depression and reached out for help and support! And got so much support, and it helped a lot. :) (Very grateful for all that support. Though ashamed of being so honest about my problems..)

I'd like to give it a go. I'll post in the thread.
