Hello, My name is Vivi some of you know me by Angel^Heart and a lot of other nicks but I am just Vivi, I founded PowerGurls right after I founded Girl Power, I found that, they were to many aspects in a female that needed to be heard and I thought that by making PowerGurls I could assist almost all the female needs in the Net and out the Net. Of course in the Nature of my reach. Girl Power started as a chat in Irc, helping teenagers mostly then I moved to the Net helping battered women then after awhile I saw myself helping in cases of Sexual Harrasment, Lesbian and Gay Rights, incest, teenage pregnancy and others.. I was alone doing all this so I decided to get help.. At the beginning everything was very nice I had operators in most of the Irc servers helping people by giving the hotlines numbers, shelters addresses, goverment agencies that help in their area. And I was very happy with what I was doing and proud of my friends that were helping me. But then they started leaving irc, computers started to crash in almost all the members and once more I was alone with my cause.. So I sorta lost the hope to help others and for awhile quit the fight. But I got reminded of why I started Girl Power to begin with, when my cousin found herself in a very tough situation with her husband (wife beater) and I started again, then, the Women Rule came along when I Was in Irc. due to a jerk that was taking the credit for my work, and then on You Go Girl was born, then I found myself alone and with work up to my eyeballs.. I founded Little Women because most of the Females that want to become members of the Powergurls are teens and I thought if by having a teen group that helped each other with the help of the Big Sisters in the other groups we could do just fine. Another organization was born but is non-member related because is just a little logo you display on your page that links back to a site with copyright information the site is called I don't think so, I almost lost my site due to people linking to my graphics and I was tired of people stealing my graphics to claim they were their own, this happens every day to Artist on the Net.. Now I am pregnant and with very few helpers, I have a lot of people that want to be members and want to display the logos but nobody have come up front to ask if they could help in any way. I belong to other organizations that I enjoy working with and would like some help so that the work I have done so far keeps on going. I need help with the charter, advertising, helping others, answering email, releasing the newsletter, and other things that are involved, We no longer operate in Irc I really don't have the time, the new makeover is going to have a Java chat that is compatible with an Irc Server, if is not on when you read this, check back later. We also need people to organize the chats and to create subject matter for the chats. If you think you can help in any way and want to be part of the founding team please feel free to e-mail me any time. I am looking on getting a domain but we'll see. I am the original founder, Watergirl (Mia) was co-founder with me but she got married, moved to another state and don't have much time to spare at the moment, Angelic (Angeliz) is working as a District Attorney at her city and only helps with Legal advice, so you see I am alone :) Kaya is not were to be found, I miss that girlie but probably she got busy with College this is her first year. Serina decided not to be with us do to her work also. The only person from the Original team it's me...So join me to start over, so we can keep helping our fellow sisters and children. And yes I was once a battered wife. But I succeded and got out, now I am married to a wonderful man and we are expecting twins :) If you want to get out, and believe in yourself you can do it and you can also get out, I know you might think yeah right is not that easy, but hey nobody said life was easy, Is not easy but you can do it, trust me there is so much in life that is worth the try. And most of all you are worth it and so are your children. You can continue to stay quiet and not getting help but believe me if you think that is going to stop it, it may become worst, and the chances of your survival are minimal, your children will be scared for life and the damage will be much greater if you stay as they grow older they either will try to defend you endengering their life for yours or they will be upset because you stayed in the marriage, If you think he can change look for counseling and try but if nothing changes. Sister get out. I am not telling anyone what to do, all I am saying is what the statistics say and believe me they are ugly. Come back to our site in few weeks by the time the site is done we will have the facts and reasons why is not healthy to let anyone beat you, degrade you or make you unhappy with non solicited threads and daily warnings.
And for those that write insulting me and telling me to mind my own business, all I can say to you is " you made it my business when you decided to harm a fellow sister or an innocent child and with this I can also tell you get a life, get counseling, and STOP harming others and harming yourself by acting so cowardly" Life is precious and you did not created this World, so stop and think why you are here and find better things to do than harming others. Your mad mail only goes to the trash bin, Don't you love the delete key, is my favorite. So don't waiste your time and fingers sending me junk. Use that time to find yourself and STOP the abuse.
Peace and Love for all. Vivi (July, 10, 1998)
