The end of a marriage is hard. You may have realized that your current life is not what you want. Your spouse may have just “dropped the bomb” that they don’t want to be married any more. Or you may have just reached the limit of how much of a bad relationship you can endure. Everyone here has a different story, but all are linked by the common need to figure out how to get through the process. Your life will be very different and the emotions can be overwhelming. Family, friends, neighbors and …

This group is THE place for anyone who has an interest in wine.  It is for those that already enjoy wine as well as those who are just interested in starting to learn about and try wine.

I decided to start this group after discovering among native American and other indigenous peoples their tradition of spiritual teachers called "Earth Keepers". Earth Keepers accept the responsibility to honor the spiritual essence of this Earth and all her "helpers" among the angelic beings, ancestral beings, the nature spirits and the elementals. By honoring and giving support to these beings, they support the Earth at this dangerous moment in history. Like humanity, these Beings need the supp …

There are so many mom groups for 20-something stay at home moms but I haven't found one for 40-something working moms so thought I'd start my own - my fingers are crossed there will be others out there looking for the same thing!

This group is for people who want to travel the world with their Facebook friends and family. I started this group because I want to create travel opportunities for people to share with their family and friends on Facebook.

We'll meet on cruise ships, in Las Vegas, Sandals, Italy, China, everywhere the group wants to go. We can …

Welcome Beauties! Ok gals and guys. It’s been a tough few years. I think we could all use a drink, a little collaborative creativity and support to get our mojo going again. Remember that spa that closed suddenly last year? Remember your girlfriend who just couldn’t turn her business around when the economy went south? This is when community matters more than ever. This is when your industry connections can mean the difference between getting another position quickly or. . . hunting for mont …

Are you a liberal, "out of the box" thinker who would love to connect with other older and wiser women? Have your realized, as you have gotten older, that the point of life is to have fun? Are you the type of person who would like to read a book called "SHE-Q -Why Women Should Mentor Men and Change the World?" Are you aware of your own SHE-Q, a wisdom that women possess that goes beyond IQ and EQ (emtotional intelligence)? If so, then this group is for you. Let's start the new year right by meet …

The ANSUZ (on-suz) is the runic symbol for the “As” or “ancestral god”, and implies a revealing message, insight and wisdom of a divine nature. This is a fitting description for the purpose of this group, to discuss the wisdom and knowledge of our individual chosen paths and to learn the motives and practices of the paths of others. The fact that “ANSUZ” sounds a lot like the word “Answers” is just icing on the cosmic cake. So, lofty goals and punny names aside, what do we actually do? Each …

Calling all prayer lovers, you do not have to be a prayer warrior to join this group. This group is mainly for people who love to pray to god to help pull down strongholds. I firmly believe in the ability of prayer and fasting to create real change in an individual's life. The bible says we should pray without ceasing, though many of us would love to pray and minister but we do not have the time and the encouragement from others. The reason i started this group is to meet people who are open min …
