I realized I've been talking about other websites and their lack of integrity and neglected to really share who I am.  Most people don't want to join a website without knowing something about the person and it seems that most websites that are started by a celebrity of some sort or already have exposure through media and television seem to have an edge.  Well, I'm neither.  What I am is a happily married mom, with kids and dogs with a passion to write, and engage with others on many topics.  I have a serious side and a goofy side (Webkinz fan and other games) and I have unabashedly shared that openness.  I'm Texan through and through.  I have faith and family values. Life is too short not to live it with joy, embrace what you love and share with friends.  I built Friend's Realm in my head long before I started building it on the server.  It took almost a year of passion and tears (tech tears) to bring it to this point.  Friend's Realm doesn't have a way to reach people with exception of the mobile apps in the App stores.  That's by design, but it does make it harder for people to find. I hope you will find Friend's Realm, and bring your friends and family so we can build a fun site to network for years to come.  Tiffany
