ANNOUNCEMENT - WORLD MARTIAL ARTS MAGAZINE
I had sent an email a few days ago about a big announcement. Well, it's confirmed! STRESS JUDO will have a regular column in WORLD MARTIAL ARTS magazine!
This is very exciting, as it allows for true cross-community-pollination - in other words, the WMA community and STRESS JUDO community can share experiences and tips on stress management, life experiences, jokes - whatever you all feel is appropriate.
At first, I will write the columns. But feel free to send in columns you've written (no blatant advertising, please, but subtle advertising is encouraged), or topic suggestions. Ideally, the WMA readers will see articles they like and will explore what STRESS JUDO has to offer. And STRESS JUDO is you, the members of the community.

UPDATES TO THE WEB SITE
We have added several articles to the ARTICLES page. So far, most of the articles have focused on stress in the workplace (because, to be totally honest, that's what I am dealing with right now). If you have a topic - stress for students, stress for parents, financial stress - just let us know. Or submit an article via the feedback below.
ENDING THOUGHTS
Thank everyone who has signed up for our website. We are gaining members from a tremendous range of backgrounds, and my hope is that everyone can start sharing and conversing with each other.
SAFETY
We have chose the TRIAD of Twitter-FaceBook-Ning to keep the community as safe as possible. Twitter allows for announcements without revealing your identity. FaceBook allows for mail communication and general discussion without exposing yourself online. And Ning allows for a social networking experience without having to step out of your comfort zone.
So please take advantage of this. And please - always - give suggestions to make this website the most pleasurable, most productive, and safest experience possible.
Cordially,
