To see so many negative forum user names on here...

I know I am a bit of a new age, hippy type, but I so believe in the power of positive thinking and how important it is to love and respect ourselves.

yes, we have made mistakes financially, but these mistakes do not define our whole being. Every time I see a new id which is a reference to debt, or being rock bottom I just want to reach out and hug that person

I am probably making no sense and waffling...but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

We are all wonderful, magnificent people and we should stop and take a moment to reflect on all the good we do and that is in our lives.

Namaste.

Angelrainbow, it's funny that you mention "rockbottom" because that is actually a forum member, she's lovely aswell but hasn't posted for a while. I think the good thing about this forum is that everyone can choose their own username but if they want to, further down the line, they can ask Admin to change it. X

I think that is probably because when we first come on here, a lot of us are negative.

Once we get ourselves sorted, we are more positive. I think some of us quite like our names by that point!

I totally agree with Kallis. Nothing like debt to make you feel like well, ****e, thats how youre treated to, eh?

When I thought of a user name it was in a pleading sense (my name is Lily) now its true, kind of.

Hmmmm I guess my viewpoint is still a little too far out for most people on here then! I will reign myself in on this forum from now on I think.

Absolutely not angelrainbow!!!!!

We love to read your posts, and your opinion counts as much as anyone elses.

We're all different, and that what makes each one of us special.

No dont reign yourself in, its great to have different views and lets hope the negatives turn to positives in the naming debt.

Keep posting, Angel

Ah Angelrainbow, I love your posts too. You seem so positive and that's a good thing. Personally, debt has caused me to be in a very dark place, I'm sure you have been there too, but with the help of everyone on here, I am trying to come out of that place and into a brighter one. Debt does take over your life and makes you feel rubbish, thus the names, but with people like you on the forum to brighten everyones day maybe some of those names will change in the future. X
