Good to be back!

Hello once again to my board friends. It feels good to be back. I would like to let my friends, and others, know of the reasons for my departures.

Yes, I left the board twice. The first time was because of my own safety as well as that of those on this board. Personal threats were being made toward me by a family member. I went so far as to change my name for a time as well as change my phone number. I even sought legal counsel, which proved to be a positive thing. Eventually, I was able to come back and I even made it a point to keep a lower profile as far as posting was concerned. Maybe too much for some, but......

The second time was because of the death of a valued friend. I certainly made my feelings known about that and I don’t need to expound on it further. 2 weeks after that, a young person whom I was close to, was taken by gun violence by someone in their own family. To have two people taken in a short space of time would shake even the strongest person up.

To those who have shown their support, I cannot thank you enough. A lot of time was spent gathering my thoughts and evaluating people and things. All of which have made me a better individual and a stronger woman in the process.

I would like to reconnect with old friends and make new ones! My showcase is up with new pictures. With more and better pictures to follow soon.

Certainly my fault for not asking but I had wondered where you were. We missed you.

I hate to hear of all the trials you've been through. I trust you found the strength and grace to weather them with your smile and sense of humor intact.

Welcome back.

Thank you JD and Miss Dallas. Its nice to be back and see familiar faces again.
