We just finished tonight first ICAMA support group meeting, and I wanted to thank everyone for their participation. We had a few technical difficulties with the connection for the long distance patience, but we will work hard to improve the techy aspect each month we regroup. We had some suggestions from those who were here after the meeting came to a close. Some suggested we have topics dedicated to time. So, we could have an opening half hour for general info for any newcomers and then devote each next half hour to different topics such as shopping, restaurants, sex, family issues, and anything else that people want to discuss. Understandably we only have two hours per meeting ( I think more than that might be too exhausting), so we could switch topics each succeeding month or we could expand upon the same ones. 
What I think is great is that as the meeting went on tonight people were trying to really reach out to one another and offer their own insights and experiences. This was really lovely to hear and see. This is a tough road as all of you know, but, we are on it together to help along the journey. I am really looking forward to next month. If you have any other suggestions, please post a response to this email. And, if it is private, you are welcomed to email me privately. After tonights meeting I have so many things I want to post on the blog about things that I feel will be helpful topics. My computer will be unavailable to me for the next day or two, but I will be posting a bunch next week if not sooner.
Goodnight
