Hello?...

Dear Baefamily, I must apologize for not having posted here on this blog for several months. I have had so many personal matters with which I have had to deal, and I also suffered a time of illness during which I was hospitalized twice within one month's time. I am much better now, so we won't talk about that. When I wasn't sick, I was working on something that I had mentioned in a previous blog posting, which I had said was a kind of dream of mine. I have been busy connecting my blogger BaeFamily with my other internet families; all through the 'magic' of Facebook. While I was busy doing this, I found that there are hundreds and hundreds of lovely BaeFamily members on FB. And not just Baesisters, but Baebrothers as well. they are all so kind and loving that I have grown to love them all very much. I now feel as though my Families truly reach around and embrace the whole world and me with it. I have never known that kind of love in all my life, but I am so very glad to be experiencing it now, when I am finally at a stage in my life where I can truly appreciate it, and all the people who have given it to me, and to each other. And the best part is that it is all because of one person who has that kind of love for everyone, and has helped us all find a kind of family affection which might never have been possible without his gentle influence. Our Charming Prince, BYJ, has helped us to build many bridges of love that really do span the globe, and he is the engineer who made the plan for their construction, with his selfless love for all mankind and his desire to have the largest Family in the world. But, I can't forget the willing and loving hearts of all our BaeFamily, who took that love he gave and helped spread it around the world. Thank you, Family, for being so kind and loving, and for taking up the dream of Our Prince, and sharing it with others, especially me. Love to all Family, everywhere. <3

And A...

Dear BaeFamily,
As I look back at this year, I find myself thinking about all of the various changes which have occured in our Family; so many new Family members whom I have found and friended on Facebook; Joys, sorrows, and experiences which we have shared here in these blogs; the anticipation of new things to share in the near future; the hope for happiness and good things happening within our BaeFamily. As this year draws to a close, I want to wish a very, very Happy New Year, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you and your families. May love and peace be yours in the coming year, and may our bonds of family and friendship continue to grown and strengthen as the year progresses. Love to all Family, everywhere. Anna

Well, Well,Well...

Hello, dear Family.
It is hard for me to believe a whole year has gone by since I set up this blogsite and wrote my first posting as a Baeblogger, but I know it is true! So much has happened since then, I couldn't begin to write about it all here in this posting. I have been privileged to become acquainted with so many BaeFamily members and share in their joys, tears, hopes, dreams, and even some of their fears. And I have also laughed, cried, hoped, dreamed, and feared along with them all. Through all of these things I have grown on both an emotional and spiritual level, and, most importantly, I have learned what it means to be a part of this amazing Bae Yong Joon Family! I am grateful for being able to be a Family member, and to 'know' all of the other Family members here on Blogger, as well as several other blog hosting websites. It is hard for me to contain the joy and  excitement I am feeling as I sit here in Tennessee (USA), on this chilly, rainy morning of 26 November, 2010, writing all of this, in celebration of my first anniversary as a BaeFamily blogger!!! I would like for the whole Family of Baebloggers to share this happy occasion with me, just as we have shared so many other experiences throughout this past year, and I hope everyone will.
As I shared Thanksgiving festivities with my family, yesterday, I thought about all of the things for which I was, and am, thankful. This wonderful Family of ours was very close to the top of my list; right after my own family and a few close friends. That is how important being a part of all this has become to me. Thank you to all of our Sisters (and maybe even a few Brothers) for allowing me to belong. I can't begin to put into words all of the emotions I am feeling right now. I can only say thank you, again. Love to all Family, everywhere, especially Our Charming Prince, who made it all possible in the first place. (Hurray!!!)

A Holiday Wish...

Hi, dear Family.
As I will probably not have an opportunity to post anything here for the next few days, I would like to take the time, now, to wish all of the American Family a Happy Thanksgiving! And to send special greetings of love and support to all of the Asian Family during this difficult time of conflict and tension between South and North Korea, which is obviously having far-reaching consequences around the world. At a time when so many are preparing to celebrate the Christmas season, such tensions can not be, and are not, an easy thing with which to deal. Still, we will remain strong as a Family, in spite of whatever difficulties we may face, because we have our love for each other, and our mutual love for Our Charming Prince who gives us all so much love in return. (In the words of sis Myoce, 'BaeFamily fighting'!) My prayers are with all of the Family, worldwide, and especially those in South Korea and so many neighboring countries there in Asia. I may be half a world away, but my heart is there with you all, in hopes that you will continue to have a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Again, Happy Thanksgiving! Love to all family everywhere. Anna

So Many Things...

Hi, dear Family.
In the past few weeks I have noticed so many things going on within our BaeFamily; not just with Our Charming Prince, but with our Baesisters as well. The tragedy of death, the miracle of new life, moving from one home to another, traveling because of a job, starting a new website, overcoming difficulties of one sort or another; just living life in general. Having Birthdays, Anniversaries (marriage, blogging, and other kinds), meeting new friends (on the internet as well as in person). Finding our Family members in unexpected, but exciting places (Youtube, Facebook, etc.). It is all a part of living, and learning, which is a very important part of life itself. Without the hard things in life, we would obviously not appreciate the joys, laughter and happiness we are able to share with our Sisters. It is good to know they are there to help us deal with the sorrows as well.
As we Family in The States get ready for our Thanksgiving holiday, I am looking back on the last couple of months with mixed feelings. Sorrow at the loss of people who were important in my life; several of whom I was priviledged to call friends. Joy at the birth of babies (welcome to the Family, little Edward). The love of newly met BaeFamily members by the dozens. All of these things have helped me to grow as a person in many ways. I am sad for all those who have recently suffered losses of family members, I am happy for those with new family additions, and I am grateful to the Facebook sisters I have met, who have helped me feel even more a part of this wonderful BaeFamily. God bless you all, as the holiday season begins, and also throughout the rest of this year and beyond. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna

A Nice Discovery...

Dear Family,
I have discovered a wonderful thing; a lot of our Baesisters also have Facebook accounts! I am happy to find that they do, and I have sent out 'friend' invitations to as many of them as I could find on Facebook. I have also been priveleged to join several BYJ Facebook sites. All of this is thrilling to me, because so many of the other friends in my life are also members on Facebook, and this could mean I may be able to connect my two separate networks of friends into one group by suggesting they 'friend' each other. I know many of my 'non-BYJ Family' friends would be eager to do that. To them any friend of mine is someone worth having for a friend. They always accept my 'friend' suggestions. I know many of my BYJ Family would be willing to 'friend' others on my recommendations, too, because they trust me and love me, and they know I love them, too. There are still a couple of the Family who may not have accepted me as Family, yet, but I still love them just the same. I am asking all the sisters, who are on Facebook, and who haven't yet accepted my invitations, to please do so. It would mean a lot to me. Love to all Family everywhere. Anna
(My real name is Anna Daugherty, and I'm not worried about anyone knowing that, because there are a lot of  'Anna Daugherty's' in Tennessee, so I am just one of many!)
(Special note of thanks to sisters BB and Myoce who have accepted my invitations.)
