I've been through alot lately, since mid Nov., completely missing Christmas & New Year, steering precariously by the dominoes of calamities, I was so exhausted... yet, I stand steadfast to plod on, fighting against the odds, on all fronts, I am still processing alot of things, and after my laptop crashed, with the new Windows 11 installation I had to buy and reinstal alot of the latest software programs I need and relearning these new updated reinstalled ones to continue with the work for FESIG. I tried to rush it to catch 14th Jan as we missed the 7th Jan for our 144th FESIG meeting but not possible, as even though I managed to recruit our webmaster, Gary (Malaysia) and Webhost Nathan (Wales) to assist online in the repairs, getting the much needed softwares installed (they are my heroes!), for me to relearn these newly installed ones takes more time than I envisaged, I am afraid it is no easy task apart from the expenses! How I wish to have some pay fwd help with the bills....no donations at all for years now, all on my little shoulders, sigh! Taken a heavy toll on me and made a big hole in my pocket! It costs alot, too much burden on one person (the Zoom, Mega subscriptions besides the antivirus, data protection and software engine ones aren't cheap either, I gave up the mailchimp newsletter email as it's another heavy bill with alot of ppl complaining they don't get their newsletter emails from me anymore). Left me no alternative but to cancel January's public meeting, FESIG's 144th Meeting has to be brought forward to February 4th, 2026 which is just round the corner, anyway. My apologies to the lined-up speakers and participants. I need a little break for self preservation sake. I love you all though...pray (for protection, health and abundance blessings) so I can continue my service to humanity for free with my beloved team members' support to keep going, pay fwd if you have and can...we are all One. Lots of love and gratitude. Crystal Xx💜
