Are pleased to announce;

Fionnuala Fox

It’s time again for one our favorite projects of the week and that is the Feature of The Week! It is one of our favorite projects because you folks and the POTW’s of the week make it a very special event. We are all so fortunate to be a part of this community that is made up of so many friendly and talented people.

Thank you so much for your support and for making this event so special.

The reason the Feature of the Week forum was created was to honor people who have a positive influence on this community.

To qualify the person has to be an active member
and one who contributes to the positive atmosphere here at AdlandPro. Here are the criteria for nominating a member for the Feature of the Week

(also referred to as the Person of the Week, POTW).

This criterion can be seen at the site below:

Criterion

How Do I Get Selected as Person of the Week?

To be chosen as Person of the week you:

aren't locked in on that number but a minimum of 300 posts

is mandatory. Posts that are mainly advertising posts will not

be considered.

Please note highly visible with a positive influence in and on

the community means just that. You have to have an active

forum and/or be active in community forums that are not ad

threads.

• Are always seen as respectful, professional, and helpful.

• Must be nominated for the program by another member

of the Community and voted on by other members.

Here's Fionnuala Fox's Bio:

WOW what an honor to be the winner of POTW.

Thanks to all my friends in the Community who voted for me. I'll do my best to live up to the tradition of the POTW and I hope to make even more friends!

I was born in a little town called Lurgan in Co Armagh N I, just 20 miles below Belfast. My 2 brothers, 2 sisters and I had a great childhood and as a family we were not really affected by the so-called Troubles in N Ireland. I met my husband Brian when I was sixteen, engaged on my 18th birthday and married at 21. That was in 1976; sadly in 1977 my father was shot dead answering our front door, an innocent victim of what was called the Tit For Tat murders at that time. Why, because he was a Catholic who had just been promoted to factory manager in a predominately Protestant area. That’s how the times were then, a Catholic victim one night a protestant the next night and so on, but the people being murdered were innocent men and woman whilst the so called terrorists fighting for there country were hidden in safe houses.

My mother was devastated; he was only 47, with 4 kids aged from 11 to 18 still at home. Life certainly was never the same again after that, but thanks to good friends and the power of prayer we got on with our lives. My 2 brothers and one sister moved to England when they got married and are still there to this day. My younger sister, my daughter and myself cared for mum who suffered from TB late in life and sadly we lost her in 2005 aged 72.

I initially started working as a training officer but developed my career into teaching Literacy and Numeracy. Still living in my hometown to this day, Brian and I raised 2 beautiful children; Caitriona and Kevin, then I returned to teaching young people. Thankfully life here is very quiet now and my young grandchildren are free to play anywhere. We have a lot of integrated schools to teach young people how to work and live together. Last year my husband received some bad health news, so I retired early from teaching to care for him. He has great faith and thanks again to the power of prayer he is still with us at this time. Being at home all day I started searching the Internet for an online business. I got involved with a few rogue programs in Internet marketing and MLM, and have finally settled with a few I feel are legit and I enjoy. Although I don't think I'm ever going to be a millionaire, I make a little money and have made so many new friends online, especially here in Adlandpro.

I’m not sure who nominated me, I am just so excited that you all voted for me, thanks again everyone What an honor it is to have so many great friends I admire, think I am good enough to be POTW. This is a great honor and I will cherish it always.

Thank you for taking the time to make Adlandpro the special place it is for us all.

God Bless

Fionnuala

PS Can I ask you to please keep my husband in your prayers, Thank You

It is time to congratulate Fionnuala on her POTW win. Please invite
Fionnuala to join your list of friends if she isn't already on it.

you in this week's POTW forum.

Life can be tough many times and would of course be easier if the world would be better, especially the situation between christians from different backgrounds.

You seems to have gone through a lot, but the Lord has strenghten you after all this.

You are honest and you do well deserve this, my dear friend!

Hi Fionnuala,
Congratulations on your winn. This was very well deserved. I wish I could say that I never knew that kind of discrimination however my Mother's Maiden name was Sarah Agnes Fahey and she was born in County Cork, Island. When she migrated to the United States with her family she brought all the baggage with her including the belief that Catholics were the only good people on Earth. I always believed that there is good and bad in everyone and made it a point to seek out those that were not of the Catholic faith. It is such a shame that in civilized communities people should loose their lives simply because there faith is slightly different. God created all living things and to turn on a person for how they believe is to turn on God.
Sorry, I loved my parents very much, however I was so sad growing up simply for the fact that there were many beautiful people that they never got to know simply because they did not share the same faith. We all share the same GOD so why not love one another the way GOD asks us to? Enjoy your week, my friend. If you have the chance, please stop by http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/1064573.aspx
GOD BLESS YOU

Congratulations Fionnuala! Such an interesting bio - a sad one, but with a happy ending thankfully. I'm so glad you are able to live in peace now.

I was talking to my dad on the phone the other night (me in Australia and he in New Zealand), and in asking about his mother's Scottish ancestry, found out that his father's mother was Irish and was born on the ship coming out to NZ. She married the son of a Swiss immigrant - what a combination, LOL.

Enjoy your week as POTW!

Hi Fionnuala, you were one of the first friends that welcomed me to this community and I thank you. I am so excited to see you with this honor. After learning more about you via your bio, I am saddened to hear about the loss of your father so many years ago. Rest assured, I will keep your husband and family in my prayers. Enjoy your week. You so deserve it. I agree with Peter, it is fantastic to see you rise above all that you have been through to be such a bright and vibrant person! Steve

This honor is long over due and I am so glad you have finally been chosen for the crown of POTW. I guess it fits real good and quite comfortable too!

Life is full of ups and downs and I see from your bio that you have gone through quite a lot. What gladdens me so much is your positive use of the power of prayer and the strength you derive from it whenever you're faced with problems. I pray He continue to strengthen you and your family! It is well!!

Again congratulations and God be with you!

Hello Friends,

I am a bit worried about Fionnuala and hope all is well with her. I sent her a PM and never received a reply.

Something must have come up other wise I'm sure Fionnuala would have been here and replied to all her friends that posted in this thread.

I want to thank all of you for your kind words of congratulation to Fionnuala.
