I found that Austin is lacking an active, free support group for individuals who are struggling with eating disorders (such as Bulimia, Anorexia, Binge-Eating Disorder, etc.) or that have struggled in the past. This group is for people of all ages who have any type of eating disorder, or for those who are currently in recovery, to give and receive support from others who really understand. Additionally, because eating disorders can often be isolating, this group is also a "social" group in which …

"Reviving Liberty through the Republican Party." In 1787-90, the thirteen original states ratified the U.S. Constitution, thereby delegating certain powers to the federal government, and reserving all other powers for the states or for the people. Unfortunately, over the years, the federal government has usurped more and more power from the states and the people, and most of the limits prescribed by the Constitution have been "interpreted" into oblivion. The members of the CTRLC believe that the …

We each have a small role to play, wouldn't it be nice to have a group to talk about it with?   This chapter will be primarily to suppo …

It has been quite a shock to me as I've noticed that, in the past couple of cities I've lived in, there have been no groups dedicated to discussing the material (and, in my opinion, amazing wisdom which begs to be discussed and shared) in the "Conversations with God" series. Before I get into some background and go off on my long description (hehe), I will abbreviate my "description" for this group: This is intended to be an open forum and *community* in which any person (whether he/she is very …

Hello Everyone, I moved here from Southern California and was looking around in the community for a place to give back. I know that there are a lot of places to currently volunteer and the reason for this group is to get a community of people together who have different associations that they care about. I would like to help those individual groups by teaching one another of what each one stands for and how we as a group can help. In the past, it was thought that individuals volunteered strictly …

Many people love the idea of learning to paint – but don’t know how to pursue it or don’t have the time to find a good instructor. I will take the hassle out of “learning” and make it easy for you to pursue something you’ve “always wanted to do”. Usually my students leave saying something like "wow, I can't believe I did this!!" - So you take something that is lasting (you can take it home and hang it on your wall), is extremely positive, and in some cases even life-altering (I've had some GREAT …
