The winter issue of Tribe magazine is now available in print! We're so excited with what our forum members have helped us put together. Check out what's in this issue:

--Tribe interviews best-selling author and groundbreaking HSP researcher Dr. Elaine Aron:
“We’ve always adapted to the other eighty percent….We’ve heard the doubt and felt the icy change in the atmosphere when we bring up our needs….we all need to become more strategic, adapting what we say to the situation….”

--Psychic and spiritual life coach Sarah Nash introduces her new column, The Cosmic Hooker:
“When a crisis hits, we need clarity and some kind of immediate relief in order to find the strength to breathe through the next moment—so we can find a permanent solution. It is in the moments we are brought to our knees that empathy is a crucial component to healing.

--Jacquelyn Strickland, LPN, shares the origins of the ever popular HSP Gatherings:
“As a young girl, I often sought the “numinous.” I found this spiritual, emotional state by climbing high in my mimosa tree. It was there that I experienced….a deep, sweet tranquility, security and knowingness.”

--Painter and photographer Dan Bauer provides real-life experience integrating his art into his daily life:
“After many years of being out in a heavily overcharged work world, it’s such a relief for me to be able to slow down and relax with the tings of life that truly interest me.”

--Discover why Yellowstone National Park is the best winter play land:
It’s got mudpots and geysers and hot springs; skiing and snowshoeing and hiking; camping and resort hotels—all amid wildlife aplenty. What’s not to love?

--We’ve also got the latest ImagiNation Photo Challenge winners. And so much more!

All of the Tribe team thanks every single one of you--whether or not you were published in this issue--for adding your voice, your spirit, and your support to the Tribe community. We really couldn't do it without you!

So, now tell us what you think of this issue!

I chose the 5 day delivery. I want to make sure it arrives in pristine condition. The first edition still lives in it's original plastic! ( Yes, I know... I need therapy.... )

Take it out of the plastic, girl! Let it breathe! Cough, cough, wheez.... Finger that ol' publication. Give your life to it.

Yippee!

Right then, some questions:

1. How do I pay in dollars, seeing as I used pounds?

2. Can I download a PDF copy instead of a printed copy? Butterfly said I could.

3. Where is issue 1 and how do I get it? Or is that the PDF one I downloaded free?

4. Am I very demanding and bossy?

1. I don't know anything about dollars/pounds..maybe Lee can help or
you could email MagCloud.
2. The PDF version was not ready for download yet as of yesterday. I'm
sure Lee will let us know when it is ready.
3. Yes, issue number 1 was the one you downloaded for free probably..
blue cover with the tree? If you want a paper copy of issue #1, you
might try doing a search on MagCloud.
4. We are famous for thinking we are asking to much.

1. Your credit card will automatically be charged in dollars and converted by your credit card company to pounds (happens to tourists all the time).

2. The PDF isn't yet ready--we're having an issue making sure the PDF is encripted (available only to the person who bought it). We'll get it worked out soon and let you know when we do. We are VERY frustrated about this.

3. The premiere issue is the one you downloaded for free as a PDF. If you want the print version of that issue, go here: http://magcloud.com/browse/issue/26378

4. You have honest and reasonable questions, Katerina, and it is a DELIGHT to answer them for you. Never, ever be timid about your questions, my friend.

Ah... you are so sweet. I was being a bit tongue in cheek with question 4, but maybe subconsciously I was being serious

It arrived today by Fed Ex! I paged through it and it's really cool to see all the names of people I've talked with here and some I have met. It's going to be a terrific magazine. I'll keep you posted when I get a chance to read it.

I've been reading through the new Tribe. I have to say, we have struck gold with Peter Messerschmidt and the Cosmic Hooker. I hope to read more of them in future issues as they suggest we will do. Peter totally resonates my own feelings and desires about "place" and tells it so personally. I get it. You must read Cosmic Hooker's article. This is no fortune teller! She's intense and real. I read her article closely, finding bits anf pieces of me and my life within.

Congratulation Bluedream! Your cover picture is beautiful! It was great to see you and your art in the magazine. (And your poem!) I think feature stories on individual achievements and passions works very well.

Tina...your tribute to Laura was lovely. Don't we still miss her?....

Good work everyone!
