Thank you @colleenyoung for the beautiful message and for all that you do each day to make this community a welcoming environment for us all. Your comments are always so helpful and caring. As you stated, the collective compassion of the members here has a power of its own. Thank you for using that phrase to express this benefit so well.

This community has had such a positive impact on my life as I move forward as a blood cancer survivor. I feel so fortunate to be a part of it and for encountering so many inspiring people. My thanks and warmest holiday wishes to you, the amazing mentors, and all of the members.
