Sylvia's Introduction to Sylviakayfootsteps Google Group - A Forum For Her Readers'

Sylviakayfootsteps Google Group 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sylviakayfootsteps 
has been created a little in advance of its need, since neither of my books have been printed.  However, since my experiences have presented me with a lot of puzzles, I trust they will also provide good discussion material and the answers I've found are only a few of the many possibilities... With the reading of my books, I hope this forum can really come to life!

In 2010 I began looking for a way to provide space for my readers to discuss my art and writing.  I tried to make something work with a WordPress blog,  but it wasn't a very good fit.  When I stumbled upon Google Groups, whose design facilitates forums, I knew I'd found the right venue.  However, there is no space on the Group for an introduction and as I felt one was required, I've decided to use this blog for this purpose.
I’ve seeded sylviakayfootsteps Google Group with my material,  but I would like it to stand on its own, without me.  I'm happy to provide the space and the initial seeds as a catalyst, but I'm not interested in contributing much more.  I've had my say in my books and on my web-site, so it now feels time to give others the opportunity and space to puzzle their own way through what I've presented.  Having worked so hard creating my books, I can't help but be a little interested in what they grow.  However, rather than talk more about what I've already done or influence the direction the forum takes, I find I'm now much more interested in continuing the adventure that is my life...  The contributions made by my readers -- the thoughts, experiences, feelings and ideas they share will grow the forum... little by little, contribution by contribution.... We'll all see what emerges from the seeds I've sowed... and what we can learn about ourselves and LIFE from whatever this may be...

Sylviakayfootsteps Google Group Mission:
Sylviakayfootsteps Google Group is a forum for discussing what I’ve written and painted, as well as other relevant material, so we can all learn what is necessary to embody our best.  Although, it's not always the case; I hope here, that sharing and discussing  LIFE’s lessons, ways of working and explorations will prove to be enriching for us all. . .
