My Heartfelt Gratitude

As most of you may already know, I have been away from our community for a while due to having to attend to some urgent personal issues. I did drop in a couple of times to respond to some of the concerned and warm personal comments that had been made to me. But, I have been unable to make any comments on the wonderful new blogs and questions posted by our community members.

From the time I joined WA, being a full-time caregiver for my 80+ year friend, has always been a joyous but a time challenging endeavor for me. But I managed to find a little time, here and there, to stay active in the community. However, my grave personal issue, which had come about as the result of one of my very close loved ones being involved in a serious car accident in another state, had forced me to commute across the country to be in two places.

These delicate and serious responsibilities of mine have literally consumed whatever little time I did have to contribute to our WA community, and disallowing me to interact with all of you, for the time being!

And, by the way, I am not leaving WA… I shall continue to be an honored member, if you would have me.

It is my sincere hope that you, my loyal friends and followers, can understand and forgive me for my inability to respond to your well-deserved blogs, questions, personal comments, and PMs in the future. I humbly apologize for seemingly abandoning you, which couldn’t be further from the truth. I do care about my WA family and want to be there for you; however, with the presence of so many more qualified and helpful members in the community, I feel that you may allow my absence till further notice.

You can, if you wish to, please say a short prayer for ALL those people, not just my loved one, who are suffering from serious ailments and disabilities around the world. I would appreciate it you would consider keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. Once I heard it said: “Even a single silent prayer from the heart is worth more than a thousand spoken words!”

In closing, I would like to wish all of you a fantastic success with your online business, and great happiness as a consequence of that success. Just remember… success without true happiness is a lonely feeling to possess!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart... I will miss being with and around you, my friends.

Staying strong… Staying happy with the joy of my love… Striving to make a difference and impact others’ lives in this beautiful first journey of my life,

Jay Barnelli
