View Full Version : I will be taking a bit of a leave....

Ladies (and gentleman), It has been so incredible posting here with all of you - so many of you truly care about each other and our successes! I will be taking a bit of a leave of absence from this forum only (heavens no, not the business! I love this too much!). I adore the team I've built, working with them to the best of my ability, and will continue to do so and grow it even more!
It is unfortunate that I've been the recipient of some e-mails this eveningfrom people I don't even know (or possibly do know, just I don't know who they are). They aren't of the pleasant variety. What I can tell you is, I have character (or am a character at times smileys/smiley36.gif), and I pride myself with bending over backwards for others. It's just in my nature. Apparently there is someone (or more than one) out there that thinks otherwise. I didn't reply to the e-mails, there's no reason to - some things are best left ignored.
I will need to take a break from this forum to regroup a bit. As much of a character I can be, unfortunately I am also highly sensitive. I feel so blessed to be a part of this wonderful "family" and if any of you need me at any time, I am but an e-mail and phone call away. I don't plan to lose touch, just taking a break from the forum for a little bit! This will only make my end goal all the stronger in my eyes!
Love to you all!
Sandy

Is it someone from this MB board? Yep, I had them too. Report it..I did.

All I can tell is it's someone that obviously reads here - but it came through via the e-mail address I use here. There's more than one "identity" but they are so similar it's not funny - yahoo - hotmail - those are the domain's they are coming from. I just deleted them, as I will with any others I receive. They aren't worth the aggravation.

Report it and move on.
If anything, post MORE, but DON'T go away- we have too much FUN here!

Oh Sandy,
I'm so sorry to hear that someone is harrassing you. I'll miss your posts. I have enjoyed what you are shared with us and your advice.
Be Well, Ruth

Send them to the owner/Mod here, they can figure out who it is. You MUST report them. smileys/smiley17.gif

How can they tell if the e-mail is from a yahoo? If so I will definitely send any others on. The couple I received already are deleted, I was pretty hot after reading them..... took me about an hour to just get my cool back.

OOOPS sorry thought they had sent it via PM. I had the same thing happen to me here, I reported it, they took care of it.
I am so sorry this happened to you. People just have nothing better to do. smileys/smiley5.gif

Wouldn't Cheryl be able to tell by the IP address? Or, does that not
show up w/ yahoo & hotmail? If you still have them in your trash
folder, you could still forward them to her. If everyone who gets them
reports them, she may be able to figure it out somehow. If not, at
least you tried. No, it's not worth the aggrevation. I think the
regulars here all know you are a sweet heart. I love reading your
posts, and would hate to see you go. :(

Hi Sandy,
I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I think it has happened to a few of us here and WILL NOT continue any longer. Please forward me the email or PMs that you have received. I will contact Cheryl about this matter. There are ways of finding out where the email have originated from.
I would have to agree with many of the above posters and say, do not let one BAD apple turn you way from what you are so very good at. It is funny to me that many judge but do not really know the whole story is. You are one of the sweets and honest people I have ever met. Please continue sharing that with all of us here. It would not be the same if you left us!
Many Blessings,
Natalie

Don't forget as well that if in fact it is a Mia Bella Rep that you can report it to corporate directly to Charlie so that they can make a file and keep the information in it regarding that person.

Sandy,
All of us will give you a shoulder to lean on. I am absolutely stunned by your post. I can't believe anyone would email you with that bad of comments. That is awful. I feel so bad for you and I hope someone finds out who it is. Especially if it is a MB rep that did it. That's why it would be so nice if this was just for MB reps, I don't think it would happen then because everyone is so supportive. I hope you take the time to sit back and light a candle and just relax and come back soon. We will be here for you when you're ready. We will be thinking of you.

Hi Sandy,
It is a shame what has happened to you. I am not a part of Mia Bella just yet! But I will be smileys/smiley2.gif! With that being said I have beenfollowing all the postings here.I am technically from a few groups down.LOL.I have been trying to get to know who my next extended family will be. You guys have a nice little gathering here....It is a shame you feel the need to leave..Your IP ADDRESS follows you everywhere you move on your computer. Cheryl should def. be able to figure it out & do something about it! Try that before you leave your friends here! Im sure you will be missed!
I wish you the best!

Sandy, we are all here to support you. Your FRIENDS! we all need your great wisdom and excouragement!
Don't back down, that is what they want. There will always be people to knock you down or insult you. But you have the advantage.
You are the person they could NEVER be and obviously, they are aware of it!
I understand if you must take a break, but just a little one.........
Ok, breaks over! smileys/smiley36.gif

Sandy, People like to bring other people down and its not right. They should just mind their business.
I wouldcontact Charlie and Cheryl and let them know of the situation and that it's not going to be tolerated here.
If you need anything please let me know. smileys/smiley1.gif
Were all here for you smileys/smiley2.gif
