Hello! As the head of Beliefnet's new social network, I'm thrilled to welcome you here and to see so much activity in the community already.

Many members have uploaded remarkable photos--take a look at TootsieBella's gorgeous photos of Buddhist and Catholic sacred sites, for example. Or member MKB's terrific paintings of Jesus and the Madonna. There's a great deal of talent in the Beliefnet community and I'm glad we finally have a place to showcase it.

I've had a long journey with Beliefnet, working my way through gigs as Judaism editor, Relationships editor, Soulmatch content queen, director of newsletter content, and various other duties. I'm excited to devote my full attention now to the community and helping it grow. Please feel free to post on my Guestbook or email the wonderful community staff with any feedback or suggestions.
