Do you know your'e using the sacred fire community symbol as yoour own??
Look in to it, and maybe ask permission to use this as it is part of a wider community- and a sacred symbol.
Thankyou enjoy your mental health.

Sorry SS13,
I have no idea what or who you are talking about. I did as you suggested and I see they use the same image, however they seem to be borrowing it from the same place as me - found on Google images.
Do you know anything about this? I wouldn't use someone else's image and deliberately cause offence. It does seem to be free.
Kind regards,
Kristin

Thanks for sharing @kristin
It was very compassionate of you to share this with us (see what I did there...!)
I have moved your post into this current thread. I hope you don't mind. I'm moving most of the threads from MH week out into the relevant threads so they can live on 🙂

Hi all,
I found this article and it is very much where I am at as far as the gifts we bear, when MI has been a significant part of our lives.
I'd be interested to hear other's thoughts on the article.
Kind regards,
Kristin
