Spirit Circle History
Significant Events

During the latter part of February and the first part of March, 2001, I got to thinking, The Spirit Guides site received a lot of visitors, most of them repeat visitors. It seemed that they were looking for something and perhaps I could do something about it. I really didn't know what but the thoughts wouldn't go away, they became more and more frequent. Finally the thought came that I could offer to start a Spiritual virtual community. So I went through my guest book and gathered the addresses of all who seemed as though they might be interested (except for those who had stated their age as being in the 12-14 year old bracket). I also went through my address book and did the same thing. And I added a few others that I knew and had addresses for. It was a total of about 90 people. Then...

March 21, 2001...I sent out an announcement and an invitation to join the new community.

March 24, 2001...14 people had responded and the community had been started.
