• About The Global Family Room •

The Global Family Room is a unique and tight-knit online community. Anyone can find a home here--whether you are goth, punk, conservative, crunchy, preppy, alternative, metal, indie or anything in between. The Global Family Room offers a mentally stimulating environment where we promote learning and creativity while supporting the everyday ventures of our members. In each other we find lifelong friends that grow with us, and closer to us, over time. Our doors are open to individuals in all stages of life. We welcome everyone; married, single, divorced, new parent, experienced parent, grandparent--we enjoy the diversity that everyone brings to the family.

Join the Global Family Room community today and find friends that share your interests in parenting, art, literature, babies, activism, love, counter-culturalism, life, religion, business, politics, children, gaming, sexuality, media, family, crafts, music, culinary arts and anything else you could imagine. Find worthy sparring partners that will share their knowledge, unique experiences and differing opinions with you while encouraging you to share yours as well. Rest assured that while we encourage intellectual debates we do not condone intolerance in any form within our community. We want everyone to express themselves as freely as possible while helping each other to always strive to learn more, love more, and to be better every single day with the help of our friends.

kicking and screaming

November 02, 2008, 12:40:02 PM by GoddessGiggles

made you look! Hello dearies, I'm Katie, aka GoddessGiggles.

I'm a mother of two wonderful teenage daughters who are the light of my life. Somewhat of a workaholic - sometimes working 60ish hours a week at a local university, have started a small company of my own, and actively work towards righting wrongs and protesting injustices along with trying to saving the Earth.

I believe in equal rights, and that equal rights means equal rights for ALL

I look forward to meeting you all (at least on here) so please do say hi

oh, and one last thing... please assign the blame for my joining GFR solely on the shoulders of my dear friend SylvrPoet.

God Save the Queen
