Title: This is really precious
Post by: Nonameanymore on October 29, 2009, 06:45:21 AM

I am really grateful for this board.

It's not just that I know that when I post something, it will be understood making this a very safe place to be honest without worrying about being judged (as a loony) but also because sometimes all I have to do is look through the post that speaks to me and it usually is every single one of them.

A big thanks to everyone.

Hi Persephone,

It's been a gift lately to read you and Sealynx and Binks and Ales and Erin and other new voices.
I think your energy helps to balance the board and your stories are important.

Glad you're here, too!

(I know what you mean about waves of gratitude. I've felt them in some of the worst times of my last three years. I'd come here and pour it out and come back in a few hours and where I had left hurt or fear, there would be some amazing gifts of empathy and insight.)

There are some incredibly thoughtful readers here. 

Their empathy plus effort plus experience = educating me.

warmly,
Hops

DITTO  :P

Persephone, Binks, Erin, Ami, Hopalong, Sealynx, Bones, and welcome Worn!
You've all been extremely helpful, kind and insightful to me as well. I really trust my friends here on the board and appreciate all the constant support. Yes, it is a group session!  I too leave my thoughts here and know when I return I will have something new to learn from someone else.  Thanks to you all!

And, please forgive me if I am leaving someone out!

All the best to everyone.

YEs, I feel so grateful for this board, too.  I love being able to read other peoples stories and know I am not alone.

And thanks to Hops and Alesia for the compliment.
