For personal reasons, I'm leaving Tribe.net. While here, I connected with many wonderful people I've come to call friends, both close and just acquaintence. Thank you for your support and compassion since we met, most especially over the last year. I believe the bellydance phase of my performance life is over and I now look forward to a life in academia and whatever is beyond the horizon. Please keep my email on hand - amadearose32 @ aol.com. If you would like to friend me on other social applications, look for athenawindsong on both myspace and LiveJournal.

One favor: please don't waste time and energy asking me about the personal reasons or requesting that I stay on Tribe. This decision has been a long time in coming and I hope to see you, my friends, around the 'net.

Best wishes to everyone on Tribe, friend or not.
