Ralph Olander organizes the pre- and post-service music, so Annie, you will want to send him the titles you want played before the welcome song. In terms of welcome song, we tend to rotate several, but we might want to use the chant, "We are sisters (can substitute
"people") on a journey." Or use that during the service, since not everyone will know it.</div>

Annie, if you don't have hymns in mind, I can look for thriving-oriented lyrics in the hymnal, but if the tune is complicated, it would be good to have someone who could lead the song.</div>

<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF">
<p>My granddaughter's wedding is over so I can "think" again. I need some help with some of you considering taking on one of the 12 "thrive" topics. Suzyn Mills has taken #2. That leaves 11 more. I am happy to take on the bulk of the 12 topics by interspersing
what I would say with what some of you would say. For example, I speak about #1, Suzyn talk about about #2 and then I do #3, and then someone else does #4, etc. So we need five more minimum to sign up. I am including the "thriving" ideas at the end of
this email. <br>
</p>
<p>Rebecca is the service associate. I need some help with ideas for the two hymns. I would like to use two songs to be played at the beginning of the service while we are waiting for things to begin: Thriving by Mary J. Blige, and Rise by Katy Perry.</p>
<p>Jane and I will be putting together a "thrive" banner for everyone to contribute to with their own ways of thriving.<br>
</p>
<p>I'm a little concerned about how to pull all of this together. Perhaps we could try to have a conference call on Oct. 8th at 7 pm. I await your thoughts and ideas.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">12 Steps to Thriving by Annie Warmke</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><font size="3">During the coffee time a thriving banner will be created by people attending with a long sheet of packaging paper and markers so that it can be shared to create affirmations for flourishing, healing and success at
thriving.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">1: Face Your Fears: Culture promotes fear as control. Take that first step. It isn't the Grand Canyon.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">2: Accept that your culture's version of being a man or a woman is a lie – tightly held cultural norms about who women and men are unhealthy.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">3: Learn to love me - Maybe the hardest – change self-talk. We talk to ourselves at 15,000 words a minute so that means negative self-talk is powerful – how to change it.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">4. Develop a simple practice of meditation - take time for your needs and lower stress levels.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">5: Expand my experiences – by investing in others – take a course, help out at something you want to learn</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">6: Meet others 50% of the way – invest in others but wisely – friendships/mentoring/peers</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">7: Learn to ask for what I need – sometimes I need to know what others think. It's what helps me to be successful in my work. I also need to feel nourished. There's nothing wrong with asking if you did a good job, or what people
think of your work, or decisions or goals. It's all in how you ask, and who you ask.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">8: Have a plan for my life – don't be Christopher Columbus</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">9: Love doesn't conquer all – I can love someone or something but not subject myself. Don't dirty fight – own my thoughts and feelings, use more emotions then anger/sadness, say things in a way that the other person can listen to
me</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">10: Speak the truth – others speak of their bigotry, racism, hate – don't let it in. Decide ahead of time what to say.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">11: Expect the males in your life to speak up to other men against sexism and racism.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">12: Boldly walk only on my path – I can't give away something I don't have, boldness, confidence, etc. and I can't help by always taking on the role of the rescuer. Thriving takes lots of work and constant vigil.</p>
