A sample of four months of positive affirmations and responses from readers. John H. Freed, known as "Jack" to his friends lives with his wife Mary in West Bloomfield, Michigan. He began Winning Words in 1992 after receiving a gift of a computer disc from his daughter Jeanne that contained positive messages. He began sharing them with family and friends...and they suggested he forward them to others. Presently hundreds of Jack's Winning Words go out each weekday. An internet "newspaper," West Bloomfield Patch, also posts Winning Words. Jack says, "One of the reasons I enjoy getting up at 5 am, is that I can sit down at my computer and set out the day's words. I call people who receive them...C-WOW, or my Congregation WithOut Walls."
