Default Re: Healthy Message Board Living...no, really, you want to read this ;)

Thank you for such beautifully written words of advice.

Did anyone else feel that this post itself is a wonderful example of gentle discipline? The "expectations" are clearly stated. The tone is firm, especially in regard to how we treat each other, but is gentle. It reminds us that we are responsible for our own words and actions, and that we should slow down and be intentional in our choices. Most importantly, it stresses how fortunate we all are to have this "family," and conveys a love for this group that is so deep that it literally brought tears to my eyes.

While this may have technically been a post about message board etiquette, all I could think while reading it is that it made me feel exactly the way I want to make my children feel.

Thank you, Allison.
