@Cristal Vancarson Well deserved! Nice.

@Cristal Vancarson That picture exudes trust. I love it.

@Charon Knob I swear, Cristal photographs the soul!

@Cristal Vancarson The hand to the jaw line is a power pose. Nice.

I have just been wrapping up a website called Faith Hope Victory for a certified life coach up in Canada. Words like Hope, Clarity, and Confidence are wringig in my head. I love your post and your image!

@Cristal Vancarson Somrtimes community owners, administrators, and moderators tend to be overly serious, reactive and forgetful of the reason we are all here. Just a couple of hours ago I did a similar thing. I shared the same post in several groups. The post promoted my two communities with links to each. I posed in about ten communities, nine I knew for certain allowed such posts, and one I included by mistake did not. The community owner contacted me and graciously, but firmly, let me know about the rule(s) I was breaking. She told me I did not have to remove the post (she had not just deleted it out of hand) but the message in the subtext was as clear as a bright summer's day: "Don't do it again." I went directly to the post and edited it to meet her rules. I actually felt good about doing so and I will recommend her community whenever the opportunoty presents itself. She kept an active user: ME. The community owner in your case shot themself in the proverbial foot. A few caring words might have resolved the situation with them, too, keeping a positive, caring, and motivating member: YOU! How much effort will they be taking to replace you with someone far less caring or engaging? The Seinfeld show (you may remember it) had an episode about a man selling wonderfully delicious soup that people lined up to buy. He had, however, a set of nearly impossible rules and if you broke one he refused to sell you any soup, "No soup for you!" Unfortunately, too many community owners seem to think what they offer is world class soup. Often it is not!

@Cristal Vancarson ...and where people matter!
