    Dang, I just got back a few days ago. Now I wonder what the hell was going on. I was always happy seeing your cute face in a thread. I wonder what else has changed here.

    I love to see someone else who is using the Wii to track their weight - it's my favorite thing! Way better than a scale! :-)

    Thanks all. I've been thinking about this for awhile and it's time. I don't necessarily want to defend myself for what I said, what's done is done. I just feel that I was defending the rules of the forum in a way that wasn't all fluffy, nice, and sparkley. It wasn't just that post that makes me want to leave, there are other reasons, but I won't get into that. But, that thread was the first time I ever really felt like a stranger on the forum with posters and saying I'm young and arrogant, etc. Perhaps I am arrogant, but I think that rules need to be set and followed. And if this board had moderators that enforced the rules, it wouldn't be so bad. That thread should have been closed before anyone had a chance to reply. Maybe I did get carried away, but I'm human and it's annoying to see the same offensive question asked by newbies every couple of weeks. I shouldn't have responded and just let it slide, but I felt compelled to voice my opinion. I felt like being more bold like some of the other members of this board who are considered wise even if they have a bit of a 'tude sometimes. but, it didn't turn out that way...
    RFT and I just need to break up for right now ;) There are just things happening here and for now, I'd rather post somewhere else. I love all of you, my friends, and I will miss you terribly, but I know I'll see you around the web from time to time. I also have my blog here, http://theroadtothemansion.blogspot.com/ if you want to hop in and see what I'm up to . I haven't posted in awhile, but I will start posting more.
    Take care all of you, you are on an amazing journey and I know you will be fruitful in all you do :) We are all such a lucky, amazing bunch to be tuned into these energies and lifestyles.
    <3 xoxo

    I wish you luck in your future experiences. I have read a few of your blogs and found them interesting and sometimes helpful. Good luck on your dream job too:). I know that the thing-not-worth-talking-about is likely that thing I am thinking about and I think that you could probably let it go and stay here but I respect your wishes of letting it go and leaving. Good luck JennaB.

    Jenna, I am sorry that your feelings are hurt, but I wish you could take this as a learning experience. It wasn't *what* you said in that thread that people disagreed with, it was *how* you said it. That's my feeling anyway. I just wish you had been a little softer....

    I hope you will reconsider leaving. I read your blog and always enjoy it.

    Maybe I will see you around somewhere. Thank you for being so nice and positive. Even though I was not on here long enough, I will still miss seeing your post and reading your positive words.

    I'm sorry you're leaving. You have always been such a Breath of Sunshine around here!

    I know that one thread got kinda weird and I could see how you would feel attacked but, just like with the other girl. You have a right to express yourself and what you feel is important, too! Sometimes our emotions can get wrapped up in stuff that has nothing to do with what's going on inside and later we think. What the heck was that all about, anyways? ;) I really hope you reconsider and stay. I sure enjoy your posts.

    Love and Light

    Wow, the colors are beautiful! The kiwi quarters, looking like little fans, is really impressive!

    You know that ginger is a great remedy for nausea? I always used to carry a baggie of crystallized ginger in my knapsack in the winters (for those hit-like-a-truck headcolds). How do you prep it for raw? Puree it with something for a drink? Soak it in warm water for a tea?
    I hope you feel better!

    Your fruit presentation is simply stunning! Wowee! And $40 worth of fruit is a super present. I will be watching for your book as I have grandchildren I'd love to buy it for.
