I've only got the one @lizardlady ...

Betty (named after the lady I bought her pfrom) cost me all of a dollar and is what they call a tea-cup orchid. She was blooming when I bought her and bloomed once again shortly thereafter. I transplanted her to a larger bowl and basically give her a drink of water once a week.

That's been a little over two years ago, & needless to say I was pleasantly surprised to notice a new stalk coming pforth back towards the end of October. I've been talking to her and telling her how proud I am of her as well as how pretty she is!

I can't wait to see the blossoms!

Last Week My Adult Daughter Called with a List of Foods She Wanted for Our Kwanzaa Dinner.

I Like to Cook for My Kids but I Definitely Didn’t Feel Up to Cooking a Feast or Time Consuming Foods…
But I was Going to Do It for Them.

Yesterday I was on My Way to the Grocery Store. She Called to Change Our Kwanzaa Menu. It’s A lot More Simplified. I Went Home to Rest.

I’m Going to Surprise Her Later and Cook All The Requested Foods.

Pain
My Pain Level Has Not Been Too Bad. I Purchased a Foot Massager and I Like It.

Rest
I Went to the Grocery Store, Walked My Dog and Took a Nap.

Topic: Peer Ran Mastermind (Accountability) Groups.

Podcast: Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield. Episode #414
“How To DIY Your Own Mastermind

I Came Across A Podcast Episode that Really Resonated with Me.

My Takeaways
It’s Counterproductive Seeking Opinions and Feedback from Individuals or Groups that Do Not Work in the Same line of Work, have the Exact Same Illnesses You Have or other Struggles.

•It Does Make a Difference Obtaining Feedback from Individuals Who Can Relate and Have Lived Experiences vs Just Giving Their Opinions.

•One or Two People Should be the Main Group Contacts.

•Set Group Rules.

•Discuss the Highs and Lows Since Last Meeting.

•Meet Virtually.

•Decide How Often Meeting Will Be.

•Smaller Groups are Best.

•Don’t Make the Group too Big, 4-6 People in a Group is Good, too Many People Makes the Group is Counterproductive and Hard to Manage.
