i just came from a meeting regarding the plwh (persons living with hiv) committee that i co-chair. i actually think it was a really productive meeting. we discussed the possibilities of getting more poz people involved. and we discussed the idea of having an event, much like the one we attended last evening, to rouse interest. we discussed a movie event, with food available at the beginning, and publishing some information about the committee, its function, and possible areas of concern and interest for plwh to take away with them.
we want it to be a fun and social evening. and we want to start to build capacity for our committee, for our community, and to help ensure our individual welfare through the strength of a group.
a new friend steered me towards SIN Colorado. That acronym is strength in numbers colorado really. it's a social organization for poz men to meet and interact safely and with each other. according to their group site they are 142 strong, which is really quite impressive. I wonder if they might consider attending a movie night. i am not sure if they will be interested in the committee, but i think they might at least need to know that it exists and be made aware of what it's possibilities are. we really do need to rely on ourselves to watch our backs. but that's another day.
that new friend is from LA. and he is the author of the blog aids-write. if you haven't already visited www.aids-write.org please do. there are some really great ideas and insights coming from there.
i am truly excited about life in the todays. i know things are moving and happening. and i know that many of those things will be amazing and wonderful. and i don't have to trip out on what they might be and how i can control them(although i certainly want to much of the time). Please let me remain humble and unknowing on a daily basis. it's the surprises and the wonder that adds so much to my life today.
and now a bit of splendor- simple- spectacular, and a bit salacious.....
