Babette, I am truly happy you now have your own forum. It will take time to build your membership and a lot of work! For a long time, I only had a few interested and I am delighted to have 120 members. That is really not much but to me it means a lot for I believe they are my friends and are very supportive.
What I have started doing that has helped and it might help others also. When I invite a new friend or when I accept an invitation, I always include a note to tell them about my forum and ask them to visit and join if they are interested.
It just takes so much time as a free member to invite friends but I cannot be a paid member as of yet. So the process is one by one.
Your poem tells a story and a heartbreaking one for ending a friendship is a sad thing, whether it is a love relationship or just a good friend moving away or death - it is always an adjustment.
Keep writing and have a great day!
Sara
