This isn't a joke...or even funny...but I wanted to
put it here for those who may want to be an "Encourager"
There's a saying:
There's no better exercise for the heart...than
bending down to lift someone else up!
I believe those words with all my heart...and I've
been given a love and compassion for others that
I am so very grateful for.
My mother-in-law was telling me one day (before she
got sick) that I needed to get a hobby. :-)
I'm a real homebody and just see to our home and family...
study natural healing...do volunteer work at church...
very simple, but rewarding things. I'm not a 'shopper' or
'gad about'. Anyway, our daughter spoke up and said,
"Mom HAS a hobby...it's helping people!" :-)
And I thought...WOW...I guess that IS my hobby...and what
a hobby to have. It's the most rewarding hobby a person
could have...but can be very time consuming. :-)
The Encourager started out as a little one page newsletter...
folded like a book. It's very small...but just absolutely
loaded with encouragement, inspiration, motivation and good
clean humor.
I first did it just for our small country church...but people
immediately started asking for extra issues to give to others...
now, I put out hundreds of them each month...in our stores,
doctors offices, laundraumats, etc. I even made up 3 really extra
funny issues...and sent 6,000 pieces to Iraq at Christmas for
our service people.
At the bottom of the last page of each Encourager...I always put
this statement:
The Encourager's Club: To become a 'member' of "The Encourager's Club"
simply take an extra issue of The Encourager and pass it on to someone
else who needs lifted up. And really, when you stop to think about it...
wouldn't that be ALL of us?
This little paper has just exploded in our little town. Now people are
asking for it in quantities. I'm out of time for this morning...but
will try to start posting the 'text' each month. I wish I knew how to
get the clip art on here...I have gone out of my way to find extra good
and funny clip art, etc...and that really sets the little paper off.
I may even ask Dusan for a forum for The Encourager...might as well...we
have everything else on here. :-)
Anyway...if YOU want to be a member of the Encourager's Club...just copy
and paste and pass the encouragement and humor on to friends. Or even
print it off and mail it to someone you know could use a boost.
And keep in mind...we are just visiting this planet and we're all in it
together...so we might as well make the best of it...and help each other
all we can.
Have a great day! kathryn

This is a reply to # 752,092Hi Katherine,
I'm glad to see you are still doing nice things for others and it's nice to have you join us again. I haven't seen you here in a while.
Perhaps, rather than a forum, which is simply a question and answer format, you could ask Spirit to give you a site, such as the ones that are linked on the top bar of the Curezone opening page. Another way might be to use the Blog pages. I see many people sharing this way also.
You may want to go to the computer forum and ask someone how you can import clip art images into Curezone. You would have to scan them in to your computer first if you are getting them out of a book. However, if you are getting them out of the internet, right click on the image and see the properties, if it's a jpeg file then it would be like posting any other image. But I'm cetainly not the one to help you, I know for a fact that the folks over that forum are very capable of helping you if yu explain where you are obtaining your clipart images. Then, hopefully they will give you step by step instrucions....aand...both you and I can learn something!
All the very best to you.

This is a reply to # 752,226Thanks Ali, for the kind words. I'm not going to do a blog or forum. I was
in one of my extra hyper 'save the world' good moods yesterday morning. Today
I have awakened on an 'average' day where there is way more on my list than I
can ever get done.
I'll try to share The Encourager each month, but I'll just do it right here
on Just For Fun. "I'm" the one who started THIS forum....if you'll notice at
the top it says..."Just for fun...to lift you up!" That's right out of page
3 of the Encourager...at the top of my good clean joke page, it says..."Just for
fun...to lift us up! Because we all need a little more laughter in our lives!" :-)
So this is as good a place for the contents as anywhere.
Hope you have a great day! kathryn- Re: The Encourager's Club (info) :-) Alikat

This is a reply to # 752,652Hi again Kathryn,
Yes, I've been around a long time, I remember you asking for this forum to be created. If you feel this is the best place to post your page, then why not? It'll definitely be a lot less work than having a site to keep up.
Well thanks for all the work you do...and have fun!
