Support for Healing, What's going on? |

Since we are unsure about what is happening with SFH at this time, Centering Place is setting up this forum to support SFH members until SFH has a clearer
direction. Please check here for news and updates as we become aware of them.

Regarding SFH forums | ||
|
Hi there everyone
As some of you who may find your way here to the backup board (thanks Amaya!) may know I am admin for the Support For Healing website. Sadly the first I was aware of an issue with regards to the forums was when i started to recieve messages by phone etc.. regarding the site not working.. on inspection and following a discussion with the owner I was informed the issue lies with the renawal of the yearly hosting /domain contract. Unfortunatly the owner is not in the same financial position he once was when SFH opened its doors in 2004 and as a result has been struggling to ensure the island in secondlife and the forums remain open and free for all those who need and use it. I am however hoping the forums will be back within the next week or so. I have just spoken with the owner and he will be contacting the domain people tomorrow (today being sunday) and discussing the options for payment. SFH is as some of you are aware a purely peer to peer support group, we have no financial backing, everything comes from the pocket of the owner and those who are kind enough to donate to the island in SL. I am sorry for those who've been left in the dark, this is the first chance I've had to speak with the owner and I really am confident if we all remain calm and remember that SFH is offered through love & kindness that we'll be back with you real soon. Specky x

Whilst I'm floating about I would also like to say a few things...
1) Thanks to Zafu for having provided SFH for its members for so long, never asking for anything in return but often faced with moans & groans when things havn't been to people's liking. 2) When SFH is back up and open - don't waste it! People have complained about its current "disapeared" status but in truth not everyone who's complaining uses the facilities to their full potential.. When I was in therapy they had this saying - ' Use it or loose it ' and in truth for SFH to continue it does need for the members & team to use it! - No point putting money into a project that people arnt using , just as there's no point putting ones heart and sole into it either so.. If your one who's sat their and subconciously complained that its missing.. maybe just maybe you'll make the most of it when its back. Nobody expects people to be able to post all the time.. nor do we expect you to have the answers to how everyone is feeling - BUT you can offer an ear, a shoulder or a hug - after all SFH is a family community one that has been built from nothing but love & understanding of the need to be supported. None of us are professionals, none of us are immune from the harshness of the outside world but we can help each other! Dont waste what's given to you guys, we're all as guilty as each other of that one. Don't make it so that we can't see a reason to keep renewing supscriptions & tiers, don't make it so that we only see the effects of its absense after the event... I truley do hope to see you guys using whats offered to you, to keep the SFH/CP family strong and continue to make it a family to be proud of! Give us a reason to log onto the computer, to offer the facilities SFH & CP have & a reason to keep on giving back to each other! Speck (SFH Admin) |

What would hlep you feel more comfortable here? I know we all miss SFH, that's why I placed this here because Id idn't want to see anyone go without.. Don't not post for to long of a period of time, that will cause distance. Stay together as an SFH community. Remember you are all still the same,, the venue is just different :). Feel free to use it, it's here for you. Amaya |

Please could anyone with SFH contacts pass this page onto them as we are unable to contact everyone from SFH and it would be nice if we could let as many
people know as possible what is going on!
Thanks guys! |

Amaya I want to thank you so much for providing this temporarary location for both groups. It does seem different but anywhere we can meet
and support each other is great.

Amaya, I can't thank you enough for providing this place for us. It doesn't matter where we meet people just as long as we remain
friends and support each other.

you are very welcome. It's important to be able to meet esepcaillly when folks have been together for so long and have developed a comfortable way of
communicating. I am very happy to do this.

In addition to to thanking Amaya I think we must thank Speck for keeping us all together while Zafu and I were gone.
I plan to try to be back a lot more since my part time job will be more at night and I will have more time . Speck will still be in charge of the forums b/c
nobody could take her place. She is one of a kind and we would be lost without her. Thanks to Amaya and especially to our dear Speck. Hugs to everyone who has
stayed with us and please let everyone of you msn msngr friends where we are as Speck says. We have not died. We are just in dire need of money to start back
up.

Amaya, I am sorry about the light print after I posted. I am sorry about that.
Zafu and I started SFH and found out very quickly that Speck was much better at doing the forums than I ever was and she did it alone. hugs lmc |

A copy of the message sent to everyone in the sfh groups in SL...
Hi there As admin for the forums I admit i'm a little perplexed at what may or may not be happening with both the forums and the island. I wish to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported SFH both here in SL & at the forums over the last few years.. A big thank you goes to all our hosts and to the wonderful Industria & Untamable whom have been fighting the SFH cause for so long now - I'm sorry that you've both had to go but understand your doing so. I dont know what zafu's plans for the future are, Infact i personally havnt had contact with my dear friend zafu for a considerable time now which has left me with a heavy heart and a sense of loss for all you guys too... SFH works closely with Centering Place an island owned by Amaya Summers.. When I and her met a couple of years ago and started to work together to make a difference I never realise just how valuble that meeting would become - Amaya hun if you reading this I want to thank you for the support you've given Me and SFH its been a really rough start to 2008 for SFH and without your support I dont quite know where i'd be right now. Amaya has kindly opened a back up forum for us while the SFH forums are down at www.centeringplace.yuku.com If you know any SFH forum members pls do pass it on to them... I do hope that Zafu will find his heart again, I know last year was a really bad year for him physically, mentally & also financially resultin in a great sense of loss at being able to support SFH in the way he always had until then.. Without him SFH wouldn't have ever started the last 4 yrs of SFH would've been a dream - and i hope that one day soon Zafu's karma will return that things will return to be how they should be and our dear friend and founder will return - zaf if u get a chance to read a copy of this somehow - Remember that SFH was a dream a dream that you fullfield , you've helped save lives and can continue to do so - dont give up the fight and dont give up the fact that whilst people may not know how to help they are lost without SFH and without you about.. People have looked up to you for a long time maybe thats gotten too much at times - Its never easy having the weight of many peoples lives on your shoulders but zaf the real you is in there somewhere, the one everyone loves and I hope we see that back again soon - dont be a stubborn stupid proud man let the people that care help you after all thats what the sfh family is for!! Well guys my time being able to get onto SL is up now - i am so so sorry to anyone who's been left in the dark unknowing right now.. I truely hope that things will be back on track soon and that your support will continue as remember - SFH is a family - we support each other and it doesn't matter where we do that - so hold on to each other and support each other. Love you guys Keep safe Specky x I can be contacted at the moment via my profile at www.centeringplace.yuku.com as my SFH email address is currently inactive |
