BIG CHANGES
This archived discussion is "read only". « Previous 1 2 Next » » Ravenlea - Re: Re: Moving On In response to Re: Moving On posted by Fairdinkum:Hi Jeff, What troubles me more than that they are making changes is that they are being so insensitive in the way they have handled things. They notified all of us two days ago that we have until November 1st to write a last article - I may still try to do one in between packing and moving - and to reapply to write for them if we so choose. No warning, no time, really, to process feelings or thoughts. Just so long, suckers. I guess that this is happening at the same time that I am making a huge physical move may be a sign that it is time to put this column to rest. I will miss writing it. I hope you find a good alternative community. I'm sure you will. Thanks for the sharing you have done here. Many Blessings, -- posted by Ravenlea » Ravenlea - Re: Re: Moving On In response to Re: Moving On posted by reascar:Maria, Thanks so much for your kind words and for all your support and encouragement to everyone who posts here. I have another 10 days in which, if I can get one written, I will try to post a "farewell" article. There's still no closing date for my house - long story - and I'm not sure how things are going to work out in the next 10 days on that front, so the timing is a bit rough for processing the emotions of losing this column too, but I will try to post a formal good-bye if I can. I wish you continued healing in your life and all the blessings that you can ask for - and even blessings you don't yet imagine. Have a great life. Many Blessings, -- posted by Ravenlea » Fairdinkum - Re: Re: Re: Moving On In response to Re: Re: Moving On posted by Ravenlea:Hi Katherine I always had to accept the 18 hour or so time warp to "play" here. Tried to understand the largely American mindset. Each step YOU are taking seems larger and I hope easier. But I'm not sure you posting your final article to a closed barn door is value for effort. All the very best.

Your contribution to the Suite has been very much appreciated. I hope you'll keep in touch, from time to time, and let me know how you're doing. I'll miss you.

This house thing seems to be designed to bring me to the edge of maddness before it sets me free. But I guess I will get there eventually. As for posting the final article. I just needed to try to say goodbye and not just vanish into the mists. I looked up my start date here and I have been writing articles for 4 and a half years. Couldn't just not try to make a closing statement. Would seem rude or something. Anyway, I have done my thing and I feel better about it. I wish you well. Perhaps we will cross paths in another forum one of these days.

You and the other managers have put a lot of effort into keeping things running smoothly and keeping the lines of communication open as well as writing your own columns. It has been much appreciated. I'll miss you too. Perhaps we can all create a new forum of our own... Many Blessings, -- posted by Ravenlea » dianne50 - sad fare wells Hi all very sad to hear that the forum is shutting the door,this site has been very helpfull for me and many others,I am sure that everyone will miss,all the company that is there when they are at there darkest times,and also when they just need to vent.Kathrine you have been a very good inspiration to all that visit this site. I have been looking around and there is another site it is a nother forum it is called, braintalk communities if anyone is interested you go to the google site and just type in braintalk communities,it is not quite as good as this site as there is not many people on it yet, but there just might be some support there,hope to see everyone on there. good luck and have a good life everyone. -- posted by dianne50 » Ravenlea - Re: sad fare wells In response to sad fare wells posted by dianne50:Hi Diane, I too am sad to see this forum disappear. It has been a blessing to me to meet you and others and to feel like I am of some use. I will check out braintalk as soon as I am able. I hope you are now really settled into your house and enjoying it to the fullest. I'm still waiting for a closing date. Because my landlady here is such a monster, I have to move tomorrow regardless, so my furniture is going into the neighbor's garage, my cats to a friend's house and I to a motel for hopefully a few days and not weeks. The people selling me the house will be willing to let me move in early once I get the committment letter from the bank and we have a sign of closing. They have been very patient with this process. Anyway, as of tomorrow I willl be computerless until I'm not. To say I'm anxious is an understatement. May your life be blessed and may YOUR new home bring healing and joy to you. I'd appreciate it if people would let me know their email addresses and if I find a new forum I will let you know.

-- posted by dianne50 » feistyfemale56 - Great friends, great conversation Katherine,Thank you for providing an area where we could gather and learn without fearing judgment or reprisal for doing so. I've met some special people along the way whom I will always consider friends. Your own generosity of spirit and willingness to bare your most private thoughts and experiences has helped me over more than one hurdle, as I expect it has many others as well. I wish you the best of success in all you do, my good friend, and pass the same wishes along to the many who have gathered here. -- posted by feistyfemale56 « Previous 1 2 Next » Please follow the guidelines set forth in the Suite101 Posting Etiquette when adding to the discussion. |
