Sometimes I don't have time to look at all the new posts, and I miss some of the new posters, like King Tut and others. If you are new here, I just wanted to say welcome to the forum.
It is always great to have new ones and read your stories. I know it helped me tremendously when I was welcomed here. So,
WELCOME
welcome
hey I'm kind of new, thanks for the warm welcome
Luna moth, I see that you are also new. Welcome to you, as well.
Big thanks for the welcome!

I too would like to welcome the newer posters. I see a few on this thread that I have not seen before. So, welcome!
By the way, all female posters are free to pinch my cheeks anytime . . . all four of them.
Some new ones here are experiencing the pain of shunning, or the despair of realizing that their whole system of beliefs is shattered because they were told lies and were expected to unquestioningly go along. We may have read that some have been driven to suicide. We can, though, make a difference in the lives of others by being here for them. One person can be everything to another at the right time.
This poem was sent to employees in my school district by the superintendent:
The Impact of One
One song can spark a moment, one flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest, one bird can herald spring.
One smile begins a friendship, one handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea, one word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation, one sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness, one laugh will conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey, one word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits, one touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom, one heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference, and may that one be you.

Welcome newbies!!!
There have been so many who have shared their stories with us. Some can't share because they are fading. Some only stay for a short while - hopefully this is because they have been helped and can then move on.
It gives us hope that many are having their eyes opened.
