SPECIAL INTEREST INFORMATION

WHAT ARE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS?

Special Interest Groups (SIG's) in HTFM take on a variety of purposes, however their ultimate purpose is to help us to improve our lives. Interest groups are meeting times that are set up by the members of HTFM. They all follow a format, however the topics vary with each  meeting. These meetings are held in churches, hospitals, or other meeting areas. They are free to attend. 

Special Interest Groups (SIG's) are set to last an hour. They have a meeting chair who reads the purpose statement at the beginning. Then, a topic of conversation is introduced by anyone who cares to participate. Once the topic is named, then each participant gets the opportunity to discuss their opinion on the topic and how they have reached the goal. 

SIG's are about learning to live as a community and helping each other live our best life. It is through helping others that we learn to see that there is a lot of room "at the top."

"The special Interest group time is priceless to me. It is a time that i can learn from other professionals how they reached their goals and overcame adversities. As I see how they achieved their dreams, i am learning how to achieve mine. I am learning that with time and the right effort, I will achieve mine."

A Common Message

Although we do not have a religious affiliation, we do appreciate the message that is in the Prayer of St. Francis:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.                                                                       Where there is hatred, let me sow love;         Where there is injury, pardon;                           Where there is doubt, faith;                               Where there is despair, hope;                           Where there is darkness, light;                         Where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;        to be understood as to understand;                 to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;                     it is in pardoning that we are pardoned...

May we act as one community in love, kindness, and understanding. 

PURPOSE STATEMENT

HTFM SIG's are meant to be suggestive in nature. Each participant is free to give his/her opinion on the subject and discuss what strategies helped them achieve their goal or get past the hurdle. Each participant is encouraged to share their experiences before, during, and after the noted topic. The main goal is to share our experiences, strength, and hope with each other so that we can live a better life and help others do the same. It is through giving that we learn to receive. 

We are not aligned with any religion or institution. There should be no arguments or cross talk during the meeting time. Our meetings are scheduled to last an hour and we encourage all attendees to participate. Together, it is time for us to live our best lives now. We also encourage anonymity as it pertains to topics discussed. As people discuss personal and professional experiences, the specific information should not leave the room. This is a time of healing and growth.
