Happy 2007 from DailyStrength!

SITE SPEED ISSUES
We know that the site has been slow lately, and we apologize and beg you to bear with us, as we're working night and day to improve performance.
If you're curious, the reason that the site has been slow is because DailyStrength was the subject of a major story in the Wall Street Journal last week. We didn't know the story was coming, and thousands of new folks came to check us out. We're thrilled to have all these new members, and we're installing new computers and software to keep up with y'all.
Expect to see ongoing speed improvements throughout the week. This is our #1 priority.
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?
I'm a big fan of making new year's resolutions (I wish I was as good about keeping them), and like many others I know, I use the new year as a kick in the pants to set new goals for myself.
This year, why not use DailyStrength as a written reminder of the things you'd like to accomplish in 2007? Trying to lose weight? Stop smoking? Just be a better person? Write it down in your journal, and let the ongoing support of others help you to reach your goals.
NEW FEATURE: RECOMMENDATIONS
Here's a sneak preview for those of you who take the time to read my notes. In the coming week, we'll be rolling out completely new Discussion boards, which will now include Advice and Recommendations functions. These new features will greatly improve your ability to rate, review and find doctors, therapists, resources and more.
Also coming soon are improvements to Latest Activity, Chat, Goal Setting and much much more.
MEMBER IN NEED
2TEENBOYS has reported to us that her teenage son has been missing since 12/10/06. He was last seen in San Francisco, and she has asked for help.

AND FINALLY...
We're expanding our team, buying bigger and faster computers, and getting ready for a big 2007. We're so happy that you've chosen to be a member of our community, and we feel a deep responsibility to continue to improve so that we can help more people. We are now more than 7,000 members strong...with each new member, our power to help others and provide support only increases.
We hope we can provide support to you this year, and in turn we hope you can provide support for someone else.

Happy New Year!

thanx for this site! now know i\'m not alone! peace, rue
You are a true blessing for having such a kind soul to endure the whole process of not only staring this site, but keeping it running smoothly. You are a true earth angel. I haven\'t found someone w/my same eperience, but I\'ve met soooooo many sweet, kind and lovable people. I love helping others w/advice and this makes me feel good, to know I can be of service. I wish you many miracles, surprises and great health for the coming year.
This site would be my inspiration as I fight on my depression and medications daily. I have read lot of stories that breaks my heart thinking that I am not alone of this problems.
Thank you Doug for this site my problems are small compared to a lot of these fine people so I am going to give as much support to anyone I can and hopefully it will make someones day a little brighter!
