Blue Diamond: Sorry to have been away for so long.....nothing sinister, just focusing on a new business. Hope you are all well....will catch up with some reviews soon. Will have limited time but missed writing and you all...with love H x
    Blue Diamond: Oh dear. Finding that time proved trickier than I had hoped. Back for a little while now though. To all my old friends here...Hi. Missed you all. Will try to catch up with you all...love to hear how goes it. Love...H x -

Blue Diamond: Just wanted to thank you all here on FanStory for your kind feedback and encouragement during these first weeks of membership. I have made friendships, mentor-ships and connections at technical and heart level.
'A little matter of life and death,' my last poem, managed to collect enough kind votes to win a competition!! Rather an inspiring and unexpected addition to my early morning gratitude. Thanks to everyone who has voted, fed back through reviews, encouragement and helpful suggestions and, most of all, for allowing me to share in this community. Namaste, with love. H x
    ReaThomas: Congratulations on your contest win! Fantastic! :)

    Deb Damone: Congrats on winning a contest. You have an impressive amount of blue ribbons:-) Congrats on that too:-) yes you are right we do have a great deal in common. I founded and ran my own mental health agency for 4 yrs. closed it in May, as it was self funded and I could no longer carry it. Now I am pursuing my writing career. Became a life coach...almost by default and now will be building a practice while speaking and shared my books. I see that you have the same mental health interests:-) i really like the fact that this group allows us to be in touch with people internationally:-) Well as you said you are in the wee hours and it is getting to be time for me to get off and unwind...SOON! I have so much trouble pullling away;-) Well good night H....Deb -

Blue Diamond: Hi from a sunny morning at my home in Radlett, just north of London in the leafy county of Hertfordshire. As a new member just wanted to say hello and how much I'm enjoying getting to know the community. It is very inspiring being surrounded by people who love to write and read and are happy (encouraged) to share their thoughts, encouragement and advice. Loving it. Love....Harold xx
    djsaxon: Hey Harold - Welcome to FS. i am in Australia (I told you that already) I will never review unless I can find something worthy in the piece and be constructive (maybe that sounds arrogant on my part) The whole point of the site I hope, is to encourage creativity and growth. So far, I have found FS to be really helpful with my own work.

    cheers - DJ -
    ReaThomas: Welcome to the site!!

    Love,
    Rea x -
    Blue Diamond: Thanks DJ ... agree with you ... look forward to getting to know you well. H x -
    manicblue: Hi Harold! :) Thought it was overdue for me to stop by here and say how much I appreciate your kind and encouraging reviews. They really mean a lot to me.
    I didn't know you were relatively new here or I would have stopped by sooner to welcome you!
    It sounds like you lead a very fulfilling life and I know those you are helping as a Life Coach will value your compassion and gentle nature. Again, welcome to FS. :)
