Looking for feedback

Hi everyone. As some of you may know, several months ago Janey and I changed the time schedule for Wed and Thurs. evening groups. It goes from 6-7:30, with no break. It was difficult to gather everyone back to group when we had the break at 7 p.m. Last night, during introductions, an individual complained aboout the time change, complained about my singing "How could anyone", and stated that the groups run much better when Deaun or a client run group rather than when Linda or Janey run it. We'd love to receive feedback from all of you.

We have been receiving emails and texts from some of you and.......... we love it! Thank you. Karl came to visit yesterday. He is doing great! Susie came to group - she has a baby due soon. Maggie and Joel will be getting married March 27, 2010. Cathy Z. is considering coming from Texas to visit us. We visited with Zach C. and his wife Ally last week. What a wonderful experience. Remember, there is hope, you are worth it, and.....we love you. Love, Linda and Janey

Man with needing beer sign

I took this picture in early December 2009 at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. I think it can be applied to many of our lives - perhaps not about alcohol or drugs, but about anything that we may be "addicted to"....chocolates, dieting, caffeine. Gives us much to think about. Showed the picture at Wed. night group and asked for comments. There were some very insightful comments and perceptions. One thought was regarding "what if this were Jesus"......and I concur...." if ye do it unto the least of these, ye do it unto me".
