Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

The Moderators promised a few special things after our retreat and we're excited and so happy to reveal them to you today! Some of you may have already noticed this.

EMOTICON HAPPINESS

We have been trying to come up with something to convey a few additional emotions as we write. There are times when we collectively read something and we just feel so happy we want to !!! And sometimes, we want to let you know that we're for all of you and your intentions! There were just so many great emoticons to choose from - which ones to add? We looked and looked until our eyes . Finally, we decided on these little fellas, and Tim added them to the 4Real emoticon collection! Thank you, Tim!! You can find them (6 new emoticons including a favorite - the dancing banana!) by clicking on the word more just under the emoticons (located to the left of the post text box). Now, we invite you to with us!!! Enjoy!


BLOG BUTTON HAPPINESS

Our dear Stef (stefoodie) has designed a lovely blog button for the sidebar of your blogs. You can use it if you like, adding it to the sidebar with a link back to the homepage of 4Real.



Isn't it pretty? Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and talents with us, Stef!!!

You can either drag the image from here right onto your desktop and upload to your blog sidebar, or you can right click and copy and paste the image.




Thank you all for all you do to share and enrich this board with your ideas, wisdom, experience, joy, kindness and prayers!   
ENJOY!
