UP! Will you be our new moderator?

Sometimes you walk by yourself after
thinking about anything and everything
what. Then it can be nice to
agree with peers of
thoughts. How do
you deal with feelings of regret,
sadness or shame? How do
your contact with others?

Amaryllis will soon go
group discussions for the elderly
organising and is looking for
discussion leaders. Perhaps it is something
