After nearly a year as one of our co-administrators, January has asked to step down. She has done a fantastic job during this time, and KimmyDawn and I are sad to see her move on (but completely understand, too). She will move back into a moderator role here.

Thank you, Jan, for your tireless energy, time and efforts here!! You have been a valuable resource to the entire team!!

We've also decided to promote sabby to take Jan's place as a co-administrator. Sabby has been a great team member and has agreed to step up and take on a more active role within the community.

Congratulations Sabby!
DocJohn

Friends,

Stepping down is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I am stepping down with a heavy heart, but know it is best for my mental and physical health.

My heart rate is way too fast, my cholesterol and blood pressure are out of control also. The Drs have put me on meds to try to control it. I'm having to change almost my entire life style to live healthier and happier and try to get this thing under control. One way to do it is to avoid stress.

I think Sabby will be a wonderful co-admin and she has my heartiest congratulations along with a lot of hugs.

Jan

Jan,

Just wanted to thank you for all the work you did here as one of the Co-Admins. Your task was much appreciated as you handled it tirelessly. I can certainly understand the need to lower ones stress level in order to help ones physical life. I am happy that you were able to see the need & act on it to take care of yourself.

I am glad that you are able to continue on as a moderator.....still a very active role in the community.....just letting you know how much you have been appreciated in your role as Co-Admin & will still be appreciated as Moderator.

I wish you well with your health.....those issues caused by stress are difficult to manage...especially when it comes to the point of needing meds to do it. It is amazing what stress can do.

Thank you,
Debbie

Sabby,

Congratulations on your position as Co-Admin. You are such a valuable part of the PC community, I am glad that you have taken on the responsibility of Co-Admin. It's great to have someone with the same energy to take over the position.

I wish you the best & the most cooperation by all here,
Debbie

Thank you for all you did as a co-admin. So often we forget to let you know how much you mean and of how appreciative of you we are. Your work behind the scenes to help keep PC running smoothly and safely did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I for one am glad that you are still on the team as mod. and know that if I need you, you are still there.

((((_sabby_))))

Thank you for your willingness to step up as co-admin. I know you will be a good person for the job. I know that you have PC at heart to keep it safe and running for all of us. Know that you are greatly appreciated and loved for all you have done and will do in the future. Thank you again.

((((Doc John and KimmyDawn))))

Thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do for us at PC to keep it a safe and running place for us. For thinking of us in the administrators and moderators that you have put in place for us. You do so much behind the scenes that so often goes unnoticed, but I thank you.

So here's to all the Admins. and mods that make PC what it is.

I'm having a hard time finding words today. I thought it was me but I realize that there just aren't words to express the depths of my thoughts and feelings.

I'm so blessed to have the friends and co-volunteers that I have...every single one of them.

However, to have been able to work alongside Jan for almost a year was nothing less than a true gift. She's taught me to widen my sometimes tunnel vision. She's opened my heart. She's an amazing person of the highest caliber, and I'm blessed that she's my friend, now and forever.

Jan, thank you for being you...in all its forms...friend, caregiver, moderator, administrator, advocate, teacher. I'm the better person with you as my friend. Thank you for your tireless care and hard work, prayers and even some tears.

Sabby is another equally amazing person! She has a respect for others that I admire and a well-rounded, clear view that I share. A Change of Co-Administrators

I can't thank you enough, sabby, for stepping up to the plate to volunteer in something you care so much about because of the people and issues that touch your heart. You're offering to take on more, just because you care! How cool is that? I'm here to tell you that your rewards will be many, and there's nothing better than "heart rewards". A Change of Co-Administrators

Love and respect to all,

KD
