Goodbye from Gina!

Hello wonderful community, 

 

After a year and a half of posting, reading, supporting and being all round inspired by the ReachOut community, the time has come for me to say goodbye

 

I have loved working with the incredible Moderators, Builders, and members to grow and support this great community, and to encourage powerful peer support.

 

This community offers a unique opportunity for all of us to grow, and be supported through life's ups and downs - it is rare to find such a generous and kind bunch of people on the internet! 

 

Keep doing what you all do- supporting one another with grace and kindness, tapping into your own strength and resilience, and being open about when you need extra support. You're in very safe hands with the rest of the ReachOut Community team. 

 

There might be opportunities for me to jump back on and say hi, but my last day as a Community manager will be Wednesday 5th of June.

 

Thank you all  for having me here in your community and for being all round great! I will miss you! Heart

@gina-RO 

 

Everyone has summed up a lot of my thoughts and sentiments already, but I still wanted to post 🙂

 

Thank you for being someone the community can trust, and for all the behind the scenes support you've given to us as mods. It's clear that everyone here is going to miss you. Please come back as an Infobus guest at some point 😛

 

Also thank you for introducing me to avocado squishies - I finally bought one and they are the best
