" Come, let us have some tea...and continue to talk about happy things"...Shaim Potok.......Hello Everyone - welcome to Teal Tuesday - Tea - or your beverage of choice - Time together. I thought this would be a good meeting space, pop in and say hello and then make your way around the site. A time and a place for all to be together, in real time, especially during the cold winter months and for those in recovery or treatment. Reminder any comments you post will be public and you can message individuals if needed. Welcome and how are you doing this evening?
Hello @KarenL and @terrylee - welcome and thanks for joining tonight! Tea always brings calm for me- it is a moment to pause, reflect, relax and enjoy the moment. May I ask... what keeps you calm? Is there an activity, item or a certain practice that does it for you?
Welcome @CurlyHair ... hoping to get more of us on at the same time to connect in real time. Winter is coming and this may be a helpful option if you can’t get out to an in person support group
do you have an activity that keeps you calm or takes you to your happy place?
I really tried to stay up so I could join in....but a combination of chemo treatment side effects and too much nightly insomnia did me in. Hopefully next week will be better for me.
Good evening everyone - hope you are all doing well today. Perhaps the time frame is not suitable for everyone - We'll try an hour earlier - 7:00 PM CST next Tuesday and see if we can connect all together.
Hello @Flowergirl I just wanted to tell you that deSouza Instittute has an ovarian cancer chat beginning Tues Oct 17 if you want to join in. That goes for anyone else of course.
Thanks @CurlyHair - yes I have done a few of those sessions with deSouza and found them very helpful at a time when I couldn't venture out to an inperson support group - I was also pleased to do the online Art therapy that they offered.
We'll try 7:00 PM CST for the next few Tuesdays to see if we can get a few participants on the chat at the same time to connect. Looks like we have a few new topics and great contributions of sharing resources - thanks everyone and welcome to those who have joined the chat group.
Good evening everyone and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend if you were celebrating! I'll be popping on and off the site tonight. Log in to say hello on this Teal Tuesday. We had a great artistic activity with our local survivor group last week - I'm glad we were able to connect @KGrover !
Hello Flowergirl, Once again I missed the 7 PM login. I am up at 11 PM because of pain from foot neuropathy. Perhaps I can do better in the coming weeks as I have a chemo break coming up shortly so my fatigue and insomnia may improve.
Good evening everyone - just a couple of us on the chat tonight.... some great discussion topics going on... be sure to check them out from the home page and comment where / when you can. Next Tuesday is Halloween!

Looking forward to our next live chat - meet you all back here on Tuesday September 26 @ 8:00 PM CST !
I believe that the circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love
that carry us when we’re weak and sing with us when we are strong.
Let’s lean back and let the arms of women’s friendships carry us
and help us to know ourselves better, and live our lives together.

yes, the time for this chat may be not so great; we’ll see once more users join.
Hopefully next week will be better for me.
