I struggled to post or not to post this here for the last year, so I might change my mind...
I have many health issues. Some of the problems involve my spine. I had 4 procedures and 2 surgeries on my spine in 2020. It won't help my other health issues (involving autoimmune diseases) but it has helped with neurological issues and pain. I am still taking medicine to help me recover from the surgeries. I have so many loyal friends here that I am sure would pray for me. I just don't like sharing online most days. Plus, there is a group of users here that decided I am the enemy for enforcing Cute rules. I keep my posts short and infrequent with only rare comments in the Projects to avoid negative posts and comments.Cute needs to be a happy, loving place filled with creativity--not filled with comments best not shared. So, if you are one of those cheering for my year of pain, may God bless you and may you learn without experiencing karma. To those that know me, knowing you would pray for my healing can still happen as I am still healing. It will be at least late fall 2021 before I am healed.
Sending love and best wishes for the coming year.

11271We should all examine ourselves about forgiveness, either to ask for it or to give it. No one really knows online what a person is really going through, at the time. Pain can make someone a different person. It can make one person impatient or short with another making them seem overbearing or the ’Enemy’ as you put it. Then the recipient feels like it’s a personal attack on them and may lash out negativity.
No feelings, pettiness or unkind words are worth our soul. Forgive. Forgive as He forgives us. Move on with a renewed understanding. Our world is in such a state because people’s hearts are hardened because they’ve felt wronged or they have wronged someone. It’s not about who is right or who is wrong. Healing a nation, a personal conflict, all begins with humbling ourselves, asking for forgiveness and giving it in return. Then moving on trying to be at peace, loving one another, as He loves us. It has to begin with us.
This past year has been difficult on everyone. I am sorry you have had to endure such suffering, surgeries, along with your other health issues. May 2021 be better for you.

I took time off from being a moderator when I was heavily medicated. I didn't want to unintentionally hurt anyone's feelings. Pain does cause many to lash out. My medication makes my spelling atrocious and my sentences scatterbrained.
Thankfully, I don't harbor ill feelings. That is a heavy load to bear. I just don't like this place laden with unkind words.
I hope 2021 is better for us all. You had your share of heartbreak and difficulties too... Be blessed
109779my prayers are coming your way, hope this year will be a better year for you. But it's always good to see your red rose avator, Hugs/ love for you

743281Thank you for keeping this a happy loving place. I thank you for enforcing the rules so we don't lose this wonderful, sharing and caring place. I also pray for your healing and know how hard it is to share and ask for prayer. Good for you for doing so, we are supposed to and it really is a hard thing to do. Keep us informed as it just fills my soul with sunshine when progress is reported. Good or not so good. God bless you.

318426I am continuing to pray for your healing. I understand about posting and negative comments. When one feels put down on a group site it does tend to change our perspective of the people on the group. Please know I am still thinking of you....Tonya

I just don't like to see any hurtful posts on Cute. I know that most of the Cuties are kind and would never want to hurt another person. I am daily grateful for the kindness most show here on Cute.
20088I knew there was something more going on with you than you were admitting. I wish I had known just how much you needed prayer because there is always room on a list for more and time in the day for prayer.
I agree 120% that Cute needs to be a safe and a happy place. And you you have worked and continue to work hard to keep it that way. I have been so grateful for your strength and you wisdom. It's thanks to you that Cute has remained a viable and safe place. Please do not risk your healing. I know from experience how much time and energy it takes to heal. And please don't hesitate to PM me any time you need some extra prayer or to vent.

11927Rescuer, You truly have been there for me over all these years. I have only known you to be kind and supportive. Now you need some understanding. I had only 3 spine surgeries last year - and now I don't have to "wall-walk" anymore. I have only about a level of 3 pain! Hang in there, when you do heal it will be worth it. I also have autoimmune and I know that makes healing extra hard, extra long. This is a hard time in our world to be in pain. But, truly, hang in there and don't be discouraged. Anyone who treats you anything but kindly should just leave this wonderful place. Do NOT let them get you down. Your name fits you so well, you Rescued me so many time.s. Please know you are loved here. You have prayed for me for years and now I am praying for you. May God Bless you and give you good healing. Love and Hugs, Jan

Jan, you are one of the world's angels. I'm so glad you shared your Ben with us. It helped me teach my youngest many things. He still learns from Ben. Bless you!

THANK you, for using what God taught us through Ben. I also learned a whole lot more about what is good in this world. There are many, many more nice people out there than unkind. Love you! And more prayers!
59631You are in my thoughts. I totally relate with your health conditions. You can carry through knowing their are those you bless you and pray that you hold on and fight through the pain.
Not to talk about myself, but to let you know why I relate and understand. I have had 19 surgeries and as soon as we recover from The derecho and then the Covid pandemic, I will have my 20th. This last one (I hope) will be the end. Of the the pain.

I do hope your surgery will work. Chronic pain is so hard to bear. As pain is only one of my symptoms, I'm so glad some of the worst symptoms are ending. The pain overall has reduced unless the surgery site is swollen. I'm sorry you understand. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
5660You know I have been praying for you a long time and will continue. Sometime I have the feeling that you are on my forever list 😊😊😊 so the fact hat I have arthritis in both my knees, is that karma? I truly hope that by fall you will be feeling a whole lot better.

Praying for my health with karma would mean your pain would be less. Thank you for doing so much work while I rested. May God bless you for keeping me on your forever list.
109774It saddens me to know that there are people on this wonderful site who are so unkind, we all have bad days but do not take it out on others.
I have you in my thoughts, and may this year really see you on the road to recovery.
Thank you for all you do and have done for all and even though we have never met, you have helped me when I needed it. Thank you is such a small couple of words and so easy to say. So Chin Up and know there are more kind thoughts than unkind on this great group.

Without the kindness shown by most Cuties, I would not be able to do my "job"
Thank you
1899Will certainly pray for your back and also for any Cute sisters who are feeling ungenerous on certain days. We want this to be a lovely, kind, fun and safe place to bring our embroidery, our photos, and our cares. A great place to learn and be.

Some need this place to be a safe place to be. I am one of those that need the peace and kindness so many offer. Thank you for keeping track of so many Cuties!
66907Bless you. I hope your health improves daily. I'm so sorry that there are so many that post in anger, without taking the time to think things through, especially when you are just doing your job. I'm afraid it is a pattern throughout the internet. It has just gotten worse with the terrible situation in the world today. I pray that those who believe, will remember that God is love and act accordingly.

I've noticed there are many online that say and do things they would never consider in person. Cute is so often the exception. Most Cuties are kind and generous. For that, I'm thankful.
11506I had no idea, of course you are now in my prayers! And, truly, you are not the enemy - not way - not even close!!!!! I pray that you will be surprised by a quicker recovery and healing than you expect. God helps me and I know he will help you. Please keep us updated and please take good care of yourself and stay positive! Hugs, love and prayers for you, Laura

Thank you. I'm already feeling relief as the neurological issues were worse than the pain.
