QUESTION
I have a question ......When I want to reach out to all of you amazing women, is the best way to write in my journal? Or is there another link I'm not seeing to just talk to all of you?
Thanks to all who read this!
I think you are all such wonderful, strong, caring women already. I keep saying it but I'm so thankful to find this website!!!!!

Hey Sue, there is also the \"Discussions\", where people write in and everyone can comment. But actually, I do share that question with you... ladies, which IS the best way??
In \"general\" when you want to share something, for instance about your son or husband or what\'s going on in your life, I suggest writing here on your journal. This more where we come to vent, to cry, to put our feelings out there appreciative of the comments, but not necessarily requiring comments to be made. It\'s just a place to \"get it all out\".
The group page \"discussions\" I view more as a place to post a thought asking others what their thought is....for example, if you\'ve read a helpful book, you may want to share the information as a group discussion.
Basically, journals are for our personal daily experiences through this nightmare we are surviving, and the group discussions are more for general information posts for the whole group.
Hope that helps!
Most new moms use the discussions page a lot in the beginning which is totally OK. We \"older\" moms have learned to look there for \"journal type\" entries to help us find the newer moms. And truthfully, there is no \"wrong\" way/place to share....so no worries! Whatever you write, wherever you write it, we\'ll find it!!!!
Thanks for asking Sue!
Oh, and just to make things more interesting.....don\'t forget we have our group FMO page where our news posts and discussions are, and we also have a \"profile\" page that is also named ForMomsOnly. When you get a hug from ForMomsOnly, it has been sent by our President, AnnM, while she was logged on as FMO. You can also send hugs to \"all the moms\" by posting a hug on this profile. It\'s the same as your profile page, and was what we originally used when FMO was first started in early 2007....soon we discovered we needed an official \"group\" and that\'s when Barbara opened the group FMO. I hope all this isn\'t more confusing. I promise before long you\'ll have it all figured out. Until then, just keep asking questions!!
Love you!
Where is this discussions page? I\'m not sure I know or maybe I did but didn\'t know what it was... Yes, you did confuse me! LOL I never was good getting around this site but I\'m getting better, so I thought. Sharon
Duh, I was looking for a \"discussions\" link on the left. It must be the one in the FMO group link.... Okay, I don\'t feel too dumb..... (Crawling under the table)....
I think to write a journal as you just did is a great way to get your journals out there for your friends and or everyone to read.
Hoping you are figuring out the ins and outs of the site and SO glad that you asked.
Tight hugs,
XO Joanie
