Working and playing with writing prompts is a great way to think out of the box, exercise your writing muscles, give birth to a new piece and/or enrich a work in progress.  My intention is for this group to be a place and space that provides encouragement and safety for new writing.  Writers of all levels of experience are welcome in this group.  It's not about creating a finished product -- it's about developing a practice, getting words onto the page, taking risks, and enjoying the company of …

We are explorers by nature that don’t mind being dirty for a couple of days. We like our dehydrated food in the evening and our oatmeal and coffee in the morning, especially if it comes with a view. We travel light and don’t mind s*itting in the woods. Many miles and many days are always good and we do it without complaining. We carry maps not only to know where we are going but also to find new adventures. But most importantly, we like to do it with friends that are experienced backpackers as w …

Maybe you've had problems getting pregnant, maybe you weren't sure if you wanted kids til recently, or maybe you just decided to wait.

I enjoy reading, and honestly, I need to make more friends in Portland.  (Really, who doesn't? Couldn't we all use more friends? and books to read? Anyway...) My plan for this group is to host one meet-up a month where we will get together to discuss that month's book, and enjoy some food.  The first couple will probably be held at a public venue, but I am hopeful to host out of my apartment after I get settled a bit in this role as group leader.  I will post other activities as meetups during t …

If you are living sober or are considering a sober lifestyle this group may be what you've been looking for. This group is to have helpful and supportive candid discussions and fun activities around sober living. There is no judgment about why or how you became sober or considering sobriety.  In fact, my personal journey has been to focus on what I want and who I want to be...not where I have been, what I have done, or who I was. I can foresee a great deal of fun and insight being shared and a c …

Knitting and crochet are fulfilling ways to create beautiful items. Sharing the love of the craft is something I seek to do. I enjoyed knitting at a local knitting shop in Hillsboro, but with a demanding career and a wonderful kid I found it hard to drive all the way up to Hillsboro on a weekly basis. The goal is to bring together local knitters and those who wish to learn the craft and share love on a regular basis in the Tigard and Lake Oswego area. I invite local knitters and crochet enthusia …

Why is this not your average women's book club? 1. We are going to read fun intelligent books that probably won't be on Oprah's list. 2. We are going to meet up in bars and pubs (in the Beavertonish area) instead of living rooms and coffee shops. 3. You don't have to be a big reader, just read a few pages so you can discuss. You will never feel bad for not finishing the book here! 4. Last but not least we wont take ourselves to seriously. This is about meeting new friends and having a good time. …
