The Candlewick Pride was formed
originally with the purpose of stopping the push to incorporate our community
and to support our association. We have been true to our goals.
During last week’s Pride meeting
part of the discussion revolved around something that has been bothering me for
a while and I found others share my concern. We are no different than any other
group in the fact we do not always agree on all issues, much as the Candlewick
Board does not always agree. In both cases the goal understood by all is the
betterment of the community but the action specifics are at times different.
I have written here for a long
time and I have tried to make it clear my writing reflects my feelings only and
not necessarily the opinion of the Pride as a whole. Same thing with the
Candlewick Board. I can not speak for the board any more than I can for the
Pride. So many people believe what I write is Pride consensus and that is not
necessarily the case. I have mentioned this before but it doesn’t seem to stick.
This situation must be remedied
and the only way to make the case is to change the name of the blog and start
anew. I want to be able to relay my thoughts without repercussions to Pride
members so I am going to start a new blog called the Candlewick View. The link
in the post above will take you to the new site where I can share without
worrying if I am putting other group members into an uncomfortable situation.
The Pride Group is as strong as
ever but I feel this is necessary and it will also free me to be able to make
points I have at times avoided in the past for the above stated reasons. I hope
you will bookmark the new site for reference. Thank you so much for your
readership here and I hope to meet you “on the other side”. See you there! Ken
