THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

I can't help it. I have to shout it out.

Our dear Gaia Team richly deserves thanks for maintaining, growing and sustaining this remarkable community. They work tirelessly to keep it a place where we can bring our discussions, problems, questions, ideas, and more.

So let's thank them here!

Gaia Team


Siona   -Director  [no words to describe this remarkable person, young in years but not in presence]
Chris-Developer[our explainer of techie details when we're foxed]
Franc Paul- Developer [our quiet behind-the-scenes techie]
Ryan- Developer [our quiet behind-the-scenes techie]
~Matthew -Tech Support Coordinator/Developer [our “Help! I'm stuck” angel]
Jessica -Gaia Community Outreach Co-ordinator [to us, she's our vibrant Ambassador program director]
Jodi [ another quiet one, working tirelessly to remove bugs in our online experience]
jaxxon /Jackson  - Designer whose work we can see each day
Terri  - Sponsorship Coordinator–much power to her as she creates the base that helps us to thrive.


Each day, in many ways, thankful thoughts are directed your way. I hope you feel them, and are strenghened by them.

Somehow, I feel that you do, and are.

There are times when our silent thanks needs to become public.

This is one of those times.

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

throughout the world
we form many religions
& even vote for politicians
hoping to make a difference

yet it is we, the majority
that require a place
where we can speak
as members of the world
and spiritual beings

to share things that matter
like tears of joy, thoughts & laughter
pictures, stories, feelings,
and send light for a healing

that is what you execute
so how can one say thank you?
to those who bring the world to you
and make it fit in just one room

i guess you just do

so to the gaia team
for all the light you beam
the works you do in front
and behind the scenes
an offer of gratitude…
thank you, thank you
thank you.

we are one

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Most of you, I don't know well, but I know that the Gaia Community would not be possible, without your heart-felt work to keep it going.

Siona - is someone I can call friend.

Chris - I've come upon from time to time.

Jessica - I know from the Ambassadors pod.

To the rest, simply know that my appreciation for such a place as our Gaia Community, includes an appreciation for you and your works unknown to me.  I can not know of them, and still appreciate you.

Thank you one and all-
Deborah

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Endless Thanks to the Gaia team & special thanks to Brian , ~C4Chaos , Jake & MsCapriKell  too for building this network!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Thanks Team for the continued leadership and for expanding this site. 

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Words can not express how thankful I am to you guys….Thank you for being here for searchers like me….What a wonderful comfort Gaia has been thus far…Thank you, Muchas Gracias, Danka, or as they say in the south Thanks Ya'll, yee haw!!!  ;-)

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Thanks you guys!  I've been a member for all of two days and I am FLOORED by this site and every one's willingness to help others “move in and get comfy”.

My Pastor was talking about friendship a few Sundays ago.  One of the things he mentioned was there are different levels of friendship.  You can tell someone loves you when you are silently given “Refrigerator Rights” while visiting their home - the knowledge that you don't have to ask for a pop - you just open the door and pick your fav!  Thats what I feel like here, like you guys put a root beer in there just for me.  Please know that my fridge is fully stocked for you guys.

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

biig hug and thank you!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Ditto, ditto to all the thanks above. 
Sending thanks to all the members past and present who've made this place what it is and what it's still becoming.

Blessings, David

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Eventhough I'm still finding my way around here, I feel very grateful indeed to these wonderful people and their vision of and energy they put into Gaia!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Siona, Chris, Franc Paul, Ryan, Matthew, Jessica, Jodi, Jaxxon and Terri. For all that you are, and all that you do:

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Indeed, to Brian , ~C4Chaos , Jake & MsCapriKell  too for building this network!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

I was going to write an enormous THANK YOU in return, and was trying to think of the right words to describe just how outrageously grateful I am for each of you, for your sweetness and uniqueness and dedication and brillaince and wisdom and amazing commitment to supporting each other and nurturing this place (I imagine it won't surprise any of you to know that when I do my morning thankfulnesses Gaia gets a special mention), but it occurred to me that perhaps I should practice what I preach about accepting appreciation, too.

You're so, so very welcome. It's an honor to hold space for this, and an honor just to witness the light and joy and love that has emerged here, and I feel blessed, every day, by the unspoken thanks that shine from you. What a world, hm? And what a community. :)

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Gah!

what a pleasure!

it's not just us though, we we're shoulder-to-shoulder with giants in getting it this far.

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

I am humbled.

And I, too, would like to thank the rest of the team for what they've constructed here.  This community has brought me untold joy.  The members on this site continually amaze me!  So, my gratitude goes out to the rest of the team for figuring out ways to attract such an incredible group of people :)

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

A big huge purple hug with a sprinkle of purple pixels for the team and all Gaia members who make this place what it is! This community has changed my life in so many ways, for which I am thankful! And not to just the team, past, present, and future……

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Wow, This is amazing and so moving. This makes my week. Thank you all so much.

It is such an honor to connect with and be with you all here on Gaia. Thank YOU for bringing such heart and openness into this place. And, you are very welcome, in the deepest sense.

It is really amazing and all of you deserve great thanks in return. I love creating this brilliant community with you and adding so much more love to the world.

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

I love it!  You are all so amazing, you deserve the biggest thanks of all!

We can't wait to bring you the next great version(s) of the site, where everything comes closer together…

And I second (triple!) the kudos to Bri, Aaron, Jake, Kelly, Ninja, Josh, C4, Obi and everyone else for their massively awesome work in getting this engine started.  I think of them daily, and they virtually sit next to us as we plan and build for the future…

It just gets more and more fun from here…  Stay tuned!!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

Wow! wow! wow! :) what an amazing surprise. This is the most wonderful community on the net. What a privilege to be able to be on this team and work with and for such amazing people (this is the reason I love 'going to work' every day.)
. Thank you so much everyone. You made my day!

Re: THANK YOU, GAIA TEAM!!!

So many beautiful ways to say thank you! So many have done such a wonderful job, I only want to add my thanks along with theirs…

Thank you for this wonderful garden that you all so tirelessly tend for us to walk through and enjoy….and thank you for this post as it finally allowed me to meet most of you 'face-to-face', in pictures, and feel like I know you a little better.

Wishing I could join this team!

Blessings to all of you…Namaste.
