This could be a long post!!!!
Good morning family........
I think my feelings are kinda hurt...it wont take me long to bounce back...
This morning I just need to know that I am not making things up.
I've been hanging out here for about 5 years maybe a little longer and I have seen some wonderful things happen here.
I read a few things that really bruised my spirit. So I am just doing a reality check. I am checking to see if what I believe is real.
I am asking my friends and family that come to this site and have been coming here a while to answer me this....
Are we still here because we support each other, want to stay in touch with each other, care about each other.......
I ask because I can think of so many questions that have been asked and answered, I know we have drama...but is'nt all drama!
I can think of at least 50 people right now that I believe are supportive, kind, considerate and helpful....Not here for the drama, but have always in encouraged whether it be weightloss or not. I have watched hundreds receive the support they needed.
There is room for every personality type and opinion....I know this.....I except this....... but in five years this is probably the 3rd maybe 4th time (the second time this year) that my heart ached after something that I read.
I am just doing a reality check......If you are still on the board because you have love for the people and the issues....if you feel you need support and get it....Please reply and let me know because right now....I need hope.
I received amazing responses to my request for prayer this week and my post on the outcome and I am eternally grateful to you for what you did to help me through my struggle. I am just one person , one voice and I know that there are wonderful people on this board......
I am not here everyday, like I use to because honestly, somedays, some post, I dont fit in and I should not post or address the issue....Because it is not my issue. I admit I see alot of things I do not like. but shoot that is everywhere. I cannot control that and I am wise enough to know that.....
But lately, The Black American Forum seems like a ghost town with a few oldtimers trying to continue to do what they have been doing for along time....a few newcomers that are looking for answers to their questions and trying to fit in.
Then there is that new community that is emerging right outside of town....trying to stamp out the old ways of life because it appears that they do not see the need anymore. Honestly, I am not certain of the motives of anyone other than myself.
I have gone to bat a many a times for misunderstood personalities and if anybody knows me I am not the one that stands in judgment of another...I generally can and will except the personality of anybody and can embrace them for the good I see in them regardless of anything else. I will continue to do that.
I am bruised in my spirit....The only way I know how to deal with a issue is to ask, get clarity about, (because i may need to look at this another way) and then pray.
I am asking Where are the supporters? If you are still on this board you dont have to say any thing but "I am here". I will understand and then I will know what I must do.
I love you all.....and you know this I love you with the love only God gives...This is important to me. looking for answers and clarity.
much love

I firmly believe people are brought into our lives for a reaosn and purpose. Some people stay for a season and then move on...others become an intricate part of your life forever. You my friend, have touched my spirit and soul. Your smile, your touch...they're something that can NEVER be forgotten!
Reailty is that BAF is no different than real life...some people may come and go...some stay for a season and then move on...others will be here for years or life. Each and every person that crosses my path is there for a reason...it's my job to determine what that reason and purpose is and put it to work for the best...sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail....for I am imperfect and a sinner BUT each time I try to do my best.
Please know that I appreciate your presence on this board and I know that many others feel the same way as I do. No matter what may happen...I ain't going NO WHERE
I just been going through some stuff that had taken me away from posting as much...but I'm never more than a phone call away...and I LOVE YOU SIS!!!
