My Heartfelt Appreciation
	Anniversaries have always been a time of reflection for me, remembering the journey that has brought me to where I am today. It is the experiences of my life that have created the person I am, just as it is the people and their experiences who have created Hearts With Soul as we see it today. My vision continues on a clear path, with the amazing people who come into my life spiraling the inspiration into the reality. Words cannot express the feelings of gratitude within as I reflect upon the prior two years. Hearts With Soul began as an inspiration to promote an understanding and appreciation of men. It was to be a celebration of the phenomenal men who had helped me to once again live a life of Love! The path took a course of it's own, as men, women and children have refined Hearts With Soul into the amazing gift that it is. Today men continue to be a powerful support and influence in my life and in the direction Hearts With Soul takes. I am thankful for their strength, encouragement, Love and willingness to help in any area. I am where I am today due to their efforts! Thank you guys, you know who you are! As most know when I started Hearts With Soul the most wonderful company, Ivenue guided, directed and taught me all I wanted to know about web design. Less then one year later, I met an extraordinary woman online. She reviewed Hearts With Soul and took on the project. At the time I didn't have the funding to pay her. Yet she graciously trusted that I would keep my word and one day pay her. I believe it was six months later that I was able to begin paying her for her work. This continued until April of 2001 when my funds ran out. However, she stayed with Hearts With Soul without pay for another seven months, devoting her time and efforts in many areas. When I learned of her decision to leave Hearts With Soul, I was unsure of what to do, or where to go. I turned to Bernadette Stagray for help. With the belief in Hearts With Soul, Bernadette agreed to jump in there with me as webmistress. We have her to thank for the new design and ease of navigation. Since that time, Sandra Sautia, Kelly Hall and Alan Shreve have volunteered their time and efforts to continue the vision of Hearts With Soul Hearts With Soul has always been the recipient of many amazing and talented people. Cherlyn was one of the first to design graphics for Hearts With Soul. I would send her a story and *poof* she would create the perfect graphic to go with the story. At one time the graphics on each page were custom made for that story or poem. After more then a year had past I once again asked Cherlyn to create graphics for Hearts With Soul. Without hesitation, in several hours Cherlyn had once again designs graphics for us. The writers are the glue that has made Hearts With Soul the success it is. It has been an amazing experience for me to learn so much about each one of them. The authors range in age from the teens through their seventies, sharing their gifts and talents. The reward for me comes in watching so many learn to share more and more of who they are. Watching them discover trust and to share the Love they hold within is an incredible gift they give me. There have been many times I've needed an article, and within a very short time I find exactly what is needed in my mailbox. A visitor will come to the site with a concern and before I know it, an author has submitted an article that assists our reader. Each and every person I meet adds an element that assists me in further creating the vision of Hearts With Soul. I have found that each one of us accomplishes that which Emily Dickenson eloquently expresses "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain."   CONTACT US ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please support the continuing growth of Hearts With Soul Teri Wilber 5665 Arapaho Road #1631 Dallas, Texas 75248 E-Mail Phenomenal Women Of The Web®   Sign Up for our Newsletter!
