Talk Your Heart Out is a new online forum for people to talk
intentionally about a wide range of topics related to the mind, body, and soul.
To kick off the start of the forum and encourage participation in this great resource, I will give away three Ruth's Chris Steak House gift certificates ($100, $50, & $25) to the top three forum contributors in the month of April. You must be registered in the forum by midnight April 7th and contribute at least ten posts (5 of which must be new topics) by midnight April. 30th. All posts must comply with the
forum rules and
posting guidelines. The winners will be identified only by Username on the forum to protect privacy.
ABOUT THE FORUM
I will moderate and contribute professional articles on
relationships and mental health from time to time. It is not online
counseling but is designed to encourage participants to think of what
advice/experience/knowledge they have to contribute to others in addition to
being a place to ask questions.

The forum has three major sections: "Between Your Own Ears,"
"Marriage and Relationships," and "The Lounge." You'll find discussion boards
dedicated to the specific content areas, respectively: (1) Depression, anxiety,
compulsive behaviors & addictions, mind & body; (2) Communication
skills, addictions in your relationship, recovering from infidelity, sex in
marriage, couplehood as a spiritual path, dating, tying the knot, divorce, and
parenting; (3) Social topics, controversial topics (politics &
religion et. al), the arts as inspiration and healing, and last but not least,
a board just for "What's going right."
The forum guidelines are intended to hold the space for
respectful and open interactions, which I will moderate. The forum is brand new
and is still mostly quiet at the moment. Especially at the onset, I am looking for
active participants who would: A) Believe you have experience or knowledge to
contribute in board discussions, and B) Be committed to set the tone for
respectful and supportive communication.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Click on the link above and look for the "Register" link.
You'll be asked to select a username and password and an email will be sent to
you to activate your account. Only your username will be visible to others in
your profile and you may use initials or a pseudonym for registration if you
prefer. Your email will never be public or visible to other forum users unless you change the default setting.
Besides participating, another way to support the Talk Your
Heart Forum is to let others know about it. I appreciate if you would forward
this to other message boards you are on, church groups,
facebook contacts, or social bookmarking sites like
Digg or
Delicious.
Talk Your Heart Out...then eat your heart out!
