Dear Katie (and all),
Let's use technology (please read further below):
Katie - I miss you, miss you, miss you! You are still so part of PBJFlorida and our hearts, and that will never change!
I am with you. However, since Maddie introduced "Flow" to us, I think she was planning to lead the discussions. I know she can help you and us all with the motivation. I, for one, know how busy she's been since she got back from Israel. If she accepts someone else to take the lead (and coordination of day and tme) if she can't lead due to her schedule, than that's fine by me. I don't want us to be disconnected. PBJFlorida is actually continuing to build strong community alliances, (Thanks to YAYA ;-)
Yet, I know the problem we face is trying to get our different events/small groups going, and then to maintain the momentum and interest. Everyone has something unique and important to present, but trying to gather the audience has proved more than a challenge. We spread ourselves too thin somehow. Everyone has some event, home chore, or work responsibility. Many of us also live far from one another. There are many challenges and I wish I had an easy solution. I need ideas.
One of the reasons for PBJFlorida was for us to, at the very least, stay in touch with one another. But face to face, and in your case Katie, ear to ear (LOL!) is crucial. Yet, I have personally stopped calling for PBJFlorida face to face meetings because few if anyone turns out, especially on a periodic basis.
With all of that said, I have access to a conference call-In number. I propose that those interested pick a day and time once a month to call in. We need to stick with it. We will use it to discuss anything: ideas, concerns, announcments, hot topics, including "Flow." We must have at least four people on the line. Otherwise, we call it a night and try again next time. Can we give this a try?
Any further suggestions from anyone? I need help to make PBJFlorida true community - a place of education, communication, and help to all!
One Love,
Miguel

Hi, PBJ of Flow-readahs (<-- it's like Florida in a New York accent + readers of Flow)
Summer time is in full swing for me, and I'm wondering if we ever cemented any plans for the book club we talked about earlier. I've been reading Flow and have gotten about halfway through, but to be honest I'm kind of losing steam on it and could use some external motivation.
Is anybody else reading it also? Can we plan a time to discuss? I thought the book club was a great idea of something to be involved in, as being in NY has made me feel pretty disconnected (and I definitely don't want to be disconnected from you all!). So, basically, I'm still excited about the idea as long as we can get a little group going.
Let me know if you're in the same boat,
Katie
