Yahoo! Group FlyLadyMentors hits 500k Members!
Marla Cilley, known to her followers as the FlyLady , has grown into a Yahoo! phenomenon. With the largest group on Yahoo! Groups, FlyLadyMentors , the FlyLady has recently reached a never-before-seen milestone of 500,000 members worldwide who come to her for advice on how to improve their lives using her celebrated ‘FLY’ (finally love yourself) philosophy. FLY encourages people to declutter their homes as a physical metaphor to help them uncover happiness and beauty in their lives
"I challenge everyone to throw away their dreams of perfection and just get things done,” said Cilley. “My Yahoo! Group is a wonderful outlet to touch the lives of hundreds of thousands of people everyday, and in return I receive the gift of thanks from those whose lives have dramatically changed for the better."
In celebration of reaching the 500,000-member mark and the success of the FlyLadyMentors group on Yahoo!, Marla hosted a milestone event on October 4th in Dallas, Texas. Several hundred members from across the nation flew in to meet the FlyLady.
Below is a four minute video that re-caps the highlights from this event, enjoy!

I LOVED going to the Dallas Flyfest! I had such a great time. I met a wonderful friend. I saw myself multiple times in the video because I was front row. I hope Flylady comes back! She has meant so much in my life! Meeting Leanne, Eric Dodge and everyone else was so great. Marla’s husband is so so funny. I loved the whole thing!

hi
i congratulate the group FlyLadyMentors for his success
there is an other issue i would like to talk about
it’s the GROUPLY problem
GROUPLY ask their members their ID and passwords
this is against all rules of yahoo
it will be good Yahoo take a clear position about GROUPLY, and warn the yahoo users about the danger of GROUPLY
many rumors run against this GROUPLY these days
so please Yahoo take position about this problem
myself i removed all members with a grouply ID from my group)
thanks Nubia

Congratulations on the half million!! You’ll be reaching 100,000 before to long. Thank you for all you do. I don’t live in an near the areas that you visit. It was nice to see you and all the Flybabies in the vidio. It made them become more real. It’s amazing that one person can touch so many lives. You have made my life so much better in so many ways. I’m not an emotional person, but I can’t tell you how many times you have brought me to purple puddles of happiness. You are awesome. Thank You!!!!

Gotta fly… vacuum, dust, trash old mail, cake in the oven! Congrats FlyLady!!! I’m expecting the group to grow to over a million! Fantastic video!

What a lovely tribute to all the good Flylady teaches us for free (via Yahoogroups) to bring into our lives. I found her via a review for her book Sink Reflections and joined the group straight away, little knowing how it would change not only my day to day life, but the way I feel about myself with less guilt/clutter and more organisation/peace. I doesn’t matter to me that the emails are not in my timezone, I just see alot of love in my inbox and support to do the things which will bless me, my home, my family and free me up for my fun and more opportunities in the future. Who knew that a shiny sink could kick this snowball off and a timer could keep it going? Thank you Marla and thank you Yahoo for carrying her into my inbox everyday
aw feeling soppy myself now, exeunt left!

Thanks, JEMI…!!
And Hearty COngratulations to :–FlyLadyMetors Group.
But I wonder, Is the SIZE and NUMBERS of a Group the only criteria to be featured in YAHOO ???
My small group –” Have-A-Heart ” – is silently serving its members with clean , decent, enlightening and entertaining mails.
And I still feel — ” SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL ”
Its really great to be in YAHOO.
Keep it up.. JEMI.

It was a real experience earlier today. As I arrieved in Sacramento on my way to get my kids I had to take an exit that i did not wont to take. My kids and their new family moved to another part of town and I had to take a freeway that I did not wont to take becous it was an old route that I took everyday when i was active in the world and under the influence of all the drugs that were in style at that time crystal meth,crack cocaine, marijuana,alcohal etc.
Well I got very weak and anxiety reached its peak and I almoste went to get some drugs,my minde was made up. God and his Angels interfered and kicked some devil butt and there was victory. I went back home and then went to Baptist Church. It was Sunday,yesturday 12/07/2008. I guess God don’t even rest on his own day of rest.

I believe I made the horrendous mistake of choosing a company because it had a 5 page ad in a popular computer magazine. In my opinion 1and1 is a horrible company and many customers have voiced a host of complaints on various blogs. It should be a warning that when their phone is answered by a recording that tells you if you have gotten a notice from NCO, a collection agency, to press a certain number. If they are a reputable business, why do they have to send so many accounts to a collection agency?
Also Investigative journalist, Kelli Jack, has written 30 articles about this company and has a suit pending against them. Kelli alleges that 1and1 stole her domain name and sold it. Kelli states: “1and1 should be shut down.”
And finally, the Washington DC, Pennsylvania Better Business Bureau has them listed as “Unsatisfactory” Read comments on the BBB why. Read some customer comments on Red Flag.

And now Flylady is moving her group to Big Tent – is she really allowed to import all those email addresses collected from Yahoo?
