Vanessa,
I wanted to thank you for all you’ve done in just the few short months I’ve been here! I have see you take the site from the already wonderful place it was when I began in August of last year to the amazing place i t is now!.It has been a long hard journey for you and your tech folks with COUNTLESS hours of time and I’m sure a lot of money to fix the glitches and introduce myriad new features. I would never have believed I would be so involve with the chat room as I ended up being. I had never done chat rooms before and felt overwhelmed at first but now I usually have the public room open along with a private room and up to three private chats all at the same time and also answering emails and texts. And the member ship has exploded drawn by the promise of love and support that is a direct result of your leadership in ensuring the site is a safe place for all of us.
I hope you know how much it meant to the folks in the chat room when you came by the other night and hung out with us for about a half hour! Folks were amazed and pleased to see the owner and founder of the site mixing with the “commoners”(not that you see us that way because it is CLEAR that you DON’T). You have SO much to offer every one of us with all you have experienced ad your wonderful and loving and caring personality shone brighter than any sun ever could. Similarly while the older articles have been wonderful, it is so great to see you writing NEW articles from your fresh current perspective. You had said in an earlier conversation with me that you really missed being down in the trenches and I can see why. You make me feel like a rank amateur compared to you. I spire to reach people as you have been doing for years and to encourage them , as you have, to believe in themselves and realize their full feminine potentials!.
Anyway with all the difficulties and negative energy you have had recently, I thought you deserved a big hug and kudos from one of the thousands of people whose lives you have touched and made better. The Christian singer Ray Boltz wrote a song that reminds me of you and the love and sacrifice you have made for each and every one of us. and I repost it here below. It is written about giving to the Lord but it also applies to giving of yourself to us to help us feel loved. Please know how much we love you. and know that ” I am a life who was changed” by you! and surely YOU will have a moment like this when you reach Heaven.
Love,
Cyn
Thank You
By Ray Boltz
I dreamed I went to heaven
You were there with me
We walked along the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name
You turned and saw a young man
He was smiling as he came
He said friend, you may not know me now
But then he said but wait
You used to teach my Sunday school
When I was only eight
Every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start
One morning when you said that prayer
I asked Jesus in my heart
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
Then another man stood before you
And said remember the time
A missionary came to your church
His pictures made you cry
You didn’t have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that’s why I’m here today
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
One by one they came,
As far as the eye could see
Each one somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you had done, sacrifices made
Unnoticed on the earth, heaven now proclaims
And I know up in heaven
That you’re not supposed to cry
But I was almost sure
There were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord
And He said my child look around you
For great is your reward
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
I am so glad you gave
I am so glad you gave!

Another wonderful sentiment Cynthia And I echo every word .Thanks Vannesa
Wonderful words, Cynthia, and I too, would like to ‘echo every word’. I have been following Vanessa’s blog for a few years and have seen the change to a fully interactive site with amazement as to how many beautiful people have been able to come out and become part of this great community.
This truly is Heaven for me and I thank Vanessa from the bottom of my heart for being the beautiful, caring woman who has created this fantastic place for all of us.
I “copy and paste" the previous comments. Although I am a newbie here (7 whole days!) I have discovered this site to be a very welcoming and friendly place. Thanks go out to Vanessa for creating such a warm home for all us gals. Hugs!!
