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. No drama, just life.

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.
