A Message of Hope

Hello Planet Earth-

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Radio 5 Live for broadcasting a feature on our Mindbloggling community. Thank you Chris Vallance, Rhod Sharp and the 'Up All Night' team. To have been considered as part of your 'Pods and Blogs' show was an honour for us. You have helped promote the 'voice' of Mindbloggling. We are most grateful.
A heartfelt thank you to Tony (Blueshawk), for so eloquently describing to the radio listening audience, the ethos of Mindbloggling. Blueshawk had a vision. A vision of a blogging community that would challenge the stigma of mental health distress. He actively promotes the positive interaction between us. Tony, you have my utmost admiration.
Special thanks must also go to Leigh (Radioman). Radioman has added an extra dimension to our Mindbloggling community. His excellent 'Sanity Fair' podcast was highly informative and thought-provoking. So Leigh, well done, thank you for your notable contribution to our website.
A very warm thanks to the people at the 'heartbeat' of Mindbloggling. Thanks Emma, Nat, Amanda and 'Domenica'. Your support in making this increased awareness happen, is truly inspiring. Without your encouragement and reassurance, this chance to tell the world about us, may not have happened. I appreciate your kindness.
A big thank you to all of the good people involved in our empathetic ethos. Keep blogging to the world your valid thoughts. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be happy and live in peace. Those of you who have been undermined and ridiculed. Continue to use Mindbloggling as a platform to reinforce your self-worth. We do not need to be ashamed of who we are.
So thanks to Chris Vallance, who had enough faith in our noble project to deem it worthy of recognition. You have helped increase the awareness of Mindbloggling. Now we will seize the chance to reduce the stigma of mental health issues. We are all different, all equal. I am so thankful to be a part of this community. Undaunted, we dare to dream.
I thank you for your time. Warm wishes Klahanie.

    First of all, thank you for being so generous by sharing and making us all a part of the huge contribution you have made in doing the broadcast.

    Just to let people know - there is a copy (or two) of the Radio5Live piece featuring 'us three' at the MAGMH offices should you want to listen or have a copy made.

    It also has a copy of my Sanity Fair Podcast on it and also my original 'pilot' podcast too.

    Leigh.....

    Hi guys-
    I greatly appreciate your kind comments. Our interaction is so important in maintaining our positive self-esteem.
    We all make this happen. Now the world is becoming aware of this noble and kind blogging community.
    Would you be so kind as to click on the link I have for 'Pods and Blogs with Chris Vallance'. Then if you go down to the 'Show Notes' for 31 July 07; you will see a link at the bottom of the article to place a comment. It would be nice if you sent a comment to Chris Vallance thanking him for featuring mindbloggling. Many thanks klahanie.

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
