Hi everyone ... I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far. It's extremely hot here in Oklahoma so things are really slow-moving around here. Those poor golfers with the PGA tour must be hating life right about now.
Ahem, anyways, on to my announcements. As you all know, TSF has been a part of my life for almost 10 years now. I started out as a fighter way back when, then moved on to Fairy, Fairy Leader, Senior DRealm Assistant, and lastly, I became DFairy for DRealm. In those 10 years I've learned alot of new things, met alot of people, and made some wonderful friends. I've been through team's leaving to try and create their own online competition, saw teams retiring, new teams coming on board, and most recently the merge of teams. I've been through countless Fairy Leaders coming and going, fairies fluttering in and out, and many changes within DRealm. I've witnessed tragedies, triumphs, tears and a tremendous amount of laughter and hugs. I was with my friends to mourn deaths in their families, rejoice in the birth of new life, congratulate them on marriages and graduations, and I've been a shoulder during trying times. I've laughed and cried, been angry and outraged, was lost and confused a time or two, and have led the charge for change a few times. I've got so many memories tucked away that at times it seems it's all going to swallow me up.
For the last few years now I've become more tired - I've noticed that I am lagging behind on things, finding it hard to keep up. I've tried my best to kick my Spirit back up into overdrive and hoped that if I did the Spirit would come alive again in DRealm and keep me going. I believe I have failed in that department. I know that I have let alot of people down recently, though they won't admit it to me and for that I'm sorry. While we were on our Summer Break, I took flight into the Hidden Forest to do some soul searching. That consisted of alot of talking to myself which made the pixies giggle and the trees sway with laughter, especially when I started answering myself. And no matter how much I argued the point with myself, no many how I tried to rephase the question or approach the issue from a different angle, I always came back to the same answer, and those pixies and trees were kind enough to agree with me (out of sympathy I think). The time has come for me to retire my wings, move out of the castle, and fly off into the Hidden Forest to live among the magical creatures there. It's time for me to lay down my crown and staff and step aside to let another take over as the Leader of DRealm of the Fairies. Now, you'll all remember that I tried to do this over a year ago, but it didn't feel right at the time, so I changed my mind and stayed. But this time, I know in my heart that it's the right thing to do. Everyone and everything is in the right place at the right time, and I know that everything will be ok, that DRealm will be ok, that all of you will be ok and taken care of.
I would like to introduce all of you to your new DRealm Leader - please give a warm welcome to DFairy Sakura!!! You all know Sakura as she has been my assistant here in DRealm for awhile now. She is ready to step in and take over, and I know she will create an even more beautiful and magical place for you all than I ever could. I have complete faith in her ability as a leader to do the job and do it well, and I know you all will work extremely well with her. Her email address for now is still xxxxxxxxxx, but that will be changing soon and she will let you know when the change has been made. She will be taking over effective immediately, though I will hang around for awhile to make sure she doesn't have any questions on anything. Besides, after 10 years in the castle, it's going to take me a little while to pack up my office and get my things ready for my trip to the Hidden Forest *S*
Thank you all for being my family - you'll always be my family, forever in my Fairy heart.
Well, I guess that's it. Time for me to go and round up those pixies that agreed to help me move, oh yes, they said they would help and by golly help they will!! I do have my internet connection set up in the Forest (oh, isn't today's techology grand!), so you can all email me anytime you want - my home email is xxxxxxxxxx. I do hope you'll send me a line from time to time to let me know how you're doing.
One last Shout before I leave ... from me to you...
The time has come
to say farewell
The tears are there
but I can tell
That it's time for me to fly away
into the Forest to dwell
And leave behind the spirited life
I've come to know so well.
Please be good to each other
and stay true to heart
Share your spirit always
from you it can't part
A family you will stay
as it was from the start
Live life as a Fairy
for that is a true art.
Remember that I love you
and will hold you all so dear
And I'll pop in to see you
off and on throughout the year
Saying goodbye is not the case
for that word is one I fear
Until next time is what I mean
and what you all will hear.
So smile when you think of me
for I'll be smiling too
I'll listen for the song on breeze
and sing along with you
In my heart you all will stay
so I'll never really feel blue
DFairy Archer I'll always be
alive in your Spirit so true.
((((Huggles)))) and Thank You for my Memories...
DFairy Archer
