This is a BBS for members to share their good ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ memories as well as their sad ๐Ÿ˜ญ or bitter ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ‘บmemories 

Recording your good memories here means that they will not be forgotten.

Come and revisit them whenever you are feel unhappy.๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Dwelling on good memories will lift up your spirit๐Ÿ˜Š

If you are burdened do not keep carrying the load by yourself. Drop them here and see if your burden become lighter.

Someone might come along to help you to carry part of it


It is hoped that members will actively interact with one another to encourage each other

Memories of the way we were started as a  ๐Ÿ“˜book for ๐Ÿ™‹ Dawn and ๐Ÿง”Eric to share their ๐Ÿ‘ฅ story.

I reluctantly agreed to help them write the book. Eric is a better writer than me and is capable of writing the book himself.

I write using prose whereas Eric can write good poems. Friends who have seen Eric's writings ๐Ÿ‘praise him. 

A benefit I get is being able to learn how to write poetry from Eric. What do you think of my effort in the post of why I changed my icon to that of a butterfly ๐Ÿฆ‹? That post has been given place in this BBS because it documents an important transformation for me. A turning point of my life.

Dawn does not ๐Ÿ–๏ธbother ๐Ÿ˜ to read what is written by Eric. She ๐Ÿ‘Ždismisses the praises of Eric's friends as mere politeness.

A single praise ๐Ÿ‘from Dawn would have encouraged Eric more than praises from 10 friends. A single ๐Ÿ‘Ž criticism from Dawn affects Eric more than 10 critical ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Žremarks from others. Dawn was the person that Eric ๐Ÿ˜loved most and her opinion matters most to him.

His self confidence was so badly shaken ๐Ÿคข by Dawn that he hardly writes nowadays. So he sought my help to write a book ๐Ÿ“˜ to share their ๐Ÿ‘ฅ story.

Dawn and Eric are thankful to God for healing their marriage before it was too late. Neither of them have to be ๐Ÿ‘น tormented   ๐Ÿ˜ˆ by horrible memories. They can share sad memories as lessons and happy ๐Ÿ‘ memories to spread joy and be encouragement

They want to share their story so that other couples ๐Ÿ‘ฅ who are struggling ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ’”can be blessed.

Unfortunately, I am also a  writer ๐Ÿฅดwith personal ๐Ÿ’€ issues.

The draft of Memories of the way we were was still not completed 2 years after I started to write it.

After discussing with Dawn and Eric, we decided that drafts of some of the chapters that were ready be posted โŒจ๏ธ on Facebook.๐Ÿ’ป

More years have passed and the book is still not ready. A new social media platform, BBS, has come on the scene. Anyone can set up a board on BBS and anyone who joins a board can post on the board.๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

We decided to set up a board on BBS for Memories of the way we were. The flexibility of BBS will allow us to build a community where anyone can post and comment.

We hope to have a community with a lot of interaction  amongst ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ members. Members can freely post queries and helping one another with opinions, suggestions and comments
Counselors, Psychologists, Pastors etc are especially welcome. But the best are people who have gone through and came out stronger from pain. Sharing your experience will be very encouraging.

A secondary purpose of  this BBS board is to be an author's platform to build my credibility as an author. By exposing my writing it provides readers with what they can expect of me.

Potential book publishers also require authors to have a sizeable social media presence. Publishers use the size of the social media platforms of aspiring authors to gauge the potential buyers of proposed books.

Having a lot of members on this BBS will be helpful to me when I approach potential publishers.

Please join our community.

The BBS platform will reward users of the platform. More information of how it does this can be found in my post, "Please Read"

POSTS OR COMMENTS THAT ARE SPAM, PORNOGRAPHIC OR PROMOTING SCAMS WILL BE HIDDEN

Those who persist in posting such will be banned


We welcome people of all nationalities, race, and religion.

While we have our worldview, we respect your right to have yours.
