Hello Family,

This community is a dream come true for me. From the moment i stumbled onto the Internet, i saw the potential for us having our own community. A place for us, by us, and about us ... positive, uplifting, peaceful, and relaxed. A refuge from the assaults we face daily, a place where we get to simply be ourselves.

So for me, it is a dream come true.

What does this community mean to you?

Thanks for sharing.

I agree with you Destee and $$Rich$$.

Where I see a slight difference is it's " a place where we get to simply be ourselves."

We know some come in rough from places across the United States.

But thats the family of America. Even a ruff neck fellow likes to hug someone and be hugged. Wants accolades from those they communicate with and hang out with.

Many come, and find they need to change. ( just enough to drop the mask. ) What they quickly realize is that this is a place to grow, be creative and contribute to something bigger and more than themselves. Change is good. Just enough to get along, promote harmony, and curb all rough edges.

" most def a wonder land where i ( we ) can come and
release daily enjoy friends and feel free from stress write and
comfort others as well this community "

your absolutely correct here $$RICH$$

This community promotes positive forward thinking, if you want to be a part of it's existance. YOU MUST FIND WITHIN YOURSELF A BALANCE FROM TRADITIONAL THINKING. Traditional thinking is going with the crowd, cooperating just to fit in, and often playing others down to lift yourself up.

Well I'll tell you it's not tolerated here. :nono: Everyone on the web has been in a chat room and know you have to get along, to get it on. Unlike a chat room this place is expanded into more than that. Yes we have chat, and that too is a wonderful place to spend your days or nights.

This is a place for me where during the day if I get a thought and become overwhelm with an emotion. I can flow in here, jot that down, read some of the other wonderful folws posted here and comment.

I know DESTEE is here for me to release that idea and thought a story or news. It's a wonderful thing. If you spend a half hour here, even less if your eyes wide open, you will know within minutes. THIS PLACE ROCKS! have fun Family.

It's hard being positive, experts have proven being negative is simplier, and more acepatable in this present day world. You recieve praise quicker, and from many faster. But we know that is false LOVE and ADMIRATION. :smokin:

I feel the same way. I see this as a safe haven I can grow and mature. I have learned so much in here. My writing has definitly matured and as a person I find my self being at peace here. I know that I will always have open arms full of love, stern teachers when I need them, and support in my growth. Now only if this could be my house.

Much Love

When I said house I mean the place I sleep at night. When ever I go to the place I sleep (that's hardly ever) I feel like I have to do battle. There is always something. Here there may be a few glitches but they don't bother me, nag me, do or say stupid stuff for no reason. It's home. Where I sleep is just a house.

This is a place I can come to check out some interesting threads/conversations and participate in some of them. I can share my knowledge and sometimes help others.

There are a handfull of freindly people out here like Toylin and Destee and some others.

it's a place where I feel at home...where I can be me unadulterated...and where I can learn about a myriad of things from people who I share a past, a present, and a future with as well as a culture, a history. :D

the ability to share..
to give and receive
to work on tact
and find some wonderful relationships in fact..
discover other voices
hear new ideas
and to be silent too
i guess that will do

for now

In light of recent forum events, I think folk really need to re-evaluate this question. Personally, this community really means a lot to me; if it didn't I wouldn't be a paying member. How about it bruthas & sistahs ....what DOES this community and the peace therein REALLY mean to YOU ??? What are you willing to do or discontinue doing in order to keep this a happy home for everyone ??? Is your ego or need to ALWAYS be right worth more to you than the peace and harmony of this beautifilled community ???

Wishing Everyone
Much Peace ~

I agree sister Akilah, your bringing this up is quite timely. I have always been a supporter of this community. I was one of the original members, who thought quite highly of it in the beginning. Overtime my attachment to this community has grown. There have been many who feel the same, and added to what makes this place special. Unfortunately there have been some who try to tear down what we have. We have survived attempts to do this in the past, and will continue to do so.

I totally agree with brother Panafrica , this has been a love of mines from start
and i too have become more deeper with this community , from past pain we
have always weather the storms and we shall continue , it's not the community
but what's inside the community that makes the differents this the place to be
and we all know it just don't show it because what i feel is self hate or a agent
of none supporter and destroyer , we shall rise higher as we always do ..........

PEACE is something we haven't adapt to well because how divided we are
many feel right on issues yet won't allow the next statement to hold any truth
working together is the key to unify structure so whatever it takes i shall do
to bring this to a united bond as black people in a community without debate.

DESTEE.COM is a Dream come true for me and i treasure it to the fullest.

to me, it means that there is hope that Africa can grow together.

to me, it means a place where African Healing can Exist, be Shared and Grown.

to me, it means the possibility of Growth, Unity, Beauty and Healing for all of Africa.

to me, it means encountering Africans with which i have finally found some small bit of commonality:
computer usage in a social setting, rather than just business settings.

to me, it means a smile when i have sent off my $20 each month along with the rest of my bills.
imagine that; smiling while making out the bills!!
