Moving into a new year
Thanks to all who came to the meeting last night. Participation was relatively balanced, although we all need to refresh ourselves on the guidelines (you can view them on this site). We had a little trouble following the theme and staying on topic. As we approach the new year, I want to invite comments on how we can improve the group, what topics are important to you for the coming months, and what you think about reserving one of our monthly meetings for professional guest presenters. Several of you volunteered to meet an hour before our next group meeting to discuss peer leadership, topics, presenters, publicity, and generally how we can improve on what we do. Thanks to all who volunteered. Others are welcome to come early and join us. I plan to visit some support groups in other parts of the country next year and learn how they operate. By the way, what have we done to run the women off? There were only two females present last night and one was a non-ADHD spouse. Have a wonderful holiday. I look forward to receiving your comments.

The suggestion in your book that beginning each meeting with a brief pause for mindfulness was helpful when we did it is something I’d like us to return to. I like the idea of professional guest presenters. I hope we can look at peer leadership
without making it a big deal. I am enjoying your book and find it very helpful. Thanks for writing it and thanks for establishing your blog. Ed
