Hello Brother Blackbird,
We've had many Members that have stepped forward and given of themselves to make this community what it is. I've often said that no one person could do this alone. As a matter of fact, Brother Aqil, who has been here forever, is our first ever columnist (doesn't get paid), and contributes much in the Spirituality Forum, has now offered to do free natal charts (astrology readings) for all Premium Members. He's always done them for folk when they asked, but in an effort to help build up the Premium Membership benefits, and likewise, Premium Members, he's offered to do this for us. In addition, he said that he'd be playing some real smooth jazz most every morning that he can, in our voice chat. It's always nice to come into voice chat and hear folk talking or music playing, that the room is active, so he's helping us build in this regard too ... in addition to being a Premium Member.
I mention Brother Aqil because we just finished talking about some of the above, but there are many like him, giving of themselves to make this community what it is.
Again, i appreciate you starting this thread, as it gives me the opportunity to let everyone here know that this is a community effort and we need everyone in the community pulling together to make it be all that it can be.
If a Member has a talent or skill that they think can help make the community better, or even help others in the Family, through hosting your own online class to teach this skill ... please let us know.
I believe that this community has great potential, and the sky is the limit in regard to the lives we can touch positively ... we just gotta make it over the rough spots, which we've become almost pros at!
Yes, we welcome all help and suggestions from the Family ... please keep them coming!
