Hi, I am Denise I signed up Sept 09. I am really just starting to utilize GuidePosts. I broke my back 20 yrs ago, and have put on 100 pounds since then. I have great difficulty sometimes it is difficult, due to pain to excercise, I just started slowly taking sweet stuff out, eating fish, chicken, ( I made chicken stirfry today) and I am drinking 8-10 glasses of water. I also help run a bible study for women who have been hurt. We will pray for you.

Hi everyone,
I just became a member ten minutes ago. I love reading Guidepost stories as they are so inspirational. I have been a Catholic writer for thirty years and a Paint Shop Pro artist for ten. I will be happy to share my work if it is allowed. Just please let me know where to post art or writings. Thanks, Mary
Hi everyone..!!
Shelly Smith..
Hi, I have only been a member for about a week now! Still learning how to maneuver around. Nevertheless, I am here to enhancing my ability to write. I want to write for a magazine. Had always dreamed of being a photo journalist but because of my illness and now being on disability the little bit of work that I can do for extra money is on my laptop! Thank goodness for that!
I am still developing my writing skills as I am involved with two writing groups here in my town. So I am blessed to be involved with that! Thankful for the opportunity to write and be here on guidepost forum. Now if I could just learn how to work it! I would be a lot better off!
Blessed To Write,
Christine

Welcome back!! :-)
Hi, I was coming here in the spring, before the forum closed down for the remodel - then I got out of the habit, and when I tried to log back on, I had been erased, so now I'm back but it looks so different that I feel like I popped into an alternate universe.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy the site. :-)
