    1. PLEASE READ
    2. Someone forward a piece to the list called "Why We Do It" and I have notice several of you like the piece and said you would pass it along to different lists you are on. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS MATERIAL BELONGS TO JAN AND SHE IS THE OWNER OF "AFTERNOON ROCKING" AND THESE ARTICLE ARE COPY WRITED I have permission to post her articles on my web page and just received the following, she is a lovely person and will share but please if you use her work give credit where credit is due. Thank you Barbara Guinn (A Hall researcher) Jan's note to me today: Hello, I am writing to request your help. Each of you, at one time or another has been kind enough to request permission before forwarding my Afternoon Rocking messages, placing them in a newsletter, book or on a website. I appreciate your courtesy. At this point something has happened that upsets me tremendously, and I feel a bit like my mission and family heritage has been invaded and trampled upon. One of my Rocking pieces has been appearing on various lists now re-named "Why We Do It", the beginning of the message deleted, and a few words added to the end...also another person's name appears at the bottom of it. I am honored my pieces touch hearts, as they are meant to, however I write them as they are meant to be told, and I do not want them changed in any way....they spring from a deep inner motivation...I don't want the title changed, and I certainly do not want some other person's name appearing beneath them.... What will happen to my words if people are allowed to alter them? What will happen to the meaning if the wrong heart is attributed to them? Sigh... And so, as people who understand ethics as each of you do, please if you see this piece, please make folks aware it is being shared in an unethical manner. If folks who wish to post it simply contact me, agreeing to post it as written and giving proper credit, I always agree to that. Thanks,jan
