*WORLD ME & FM PRAYER AND MEDITATION DAY*

*1st Monday of every month - between 12 noon – 12.30 *(in whichever
time zone you are in)**

_ _

* *

In September 2007 a new monthly *World ME & FM Prayer and Meditation*
*Day* was launched. Now commonly known by its nickname *‘time2link’*,
this designated day is a special time for people to unite, on the first
Monday of every month, when the intention is to focus on the well being
of those who have ME and/or FM. You are warmly invited to join in, from
the comfort of your own home, by ‘linking-in’ using whatever form you
prefer; perhaps through prayer, meditation, visualization or by simply
making a wish. There is no need to register or attend a group. Only your
thoughts and intention are needed, be it for a few seconds, 10 minutes,
30 minutes…

This unique global link is a wonderful opportunity to care for and
support our friends and other sufferers around the world. Being an
interfaith event, participants from all religions/traditions and also
non believers are all welcome. It is a time to set aside our
differences, in the knowledge that we all share similar symptoms with
our health conditions and wish each other well.

Across the miles others will be linking in at midday in their own time
zone, making the first Monday of every month an amazing day of worldwide
group support. Don’t worry if the chosen time is unsuitable for you,
just link-in whenever you can during Monday. Participants have already
commented on how peaceful, happy and energized they feel during and
after the time2link and also how they look forward to the event.

media/selected organizations. Thank you.

For those who are keen to get involved there is a special theme for the

The blog for this event is a space for participants to share, express

writing and in January the *2008 time2link Poetry Competition* is being
launched which serves to build on this theme and encourage a little self
expression, but just for fun! There is a small prize of a £10 Amazon
Gift Certificate up for grabs too. There is no set theme for the
competition and the closing date for entries is 30 April 2008.

Entries can be sent via post, e-mail or you are welcome to post them
onto ourtime2link, the community site. Please consider whether or not

in advance for linking-in and a

Merry Christmas too!

Wishing you well

Suzanne Olivante.
