I was thinking about you today. You have been there with me through the toughest 25 months of my life. I thought about you even more so, and realized that you have been there for me for so much longer. You were there before I was diagnosed with this insidious, rare, and aggressive form of cancer. When I began as a gossip columnist known for my spoilers for the ABC line up to the battle I face today. I spent nearly a decade giving you scoops that nobody else wanted to touch, which put me in the hot seat, and when they would come to fruition (most of the time, but certainly not always) I rarely received credit for any of them. I took the beatings, but never the glory. Hairs were split to the point of insanity over who got what first.

I could show people dates and time stamps, but always you were there to make sure I received the credit I was due even when the boys club did their level best to see that I received nothing. You kept me going all those years. You fought for me and stood by come what may. I have come to know a great many of the actors behind the scenes, and some have become very near and dear to me throughout the years. I have never put them in the awkward position of asking them for scoops, and I never shall. My long time source has been good to me. They want to see me well and back at what I do best (trust me, I am trying to get back to you in more ways than one). There are actors who have promised to come on my show when I feel well enough to resume "Ravenbeauty's All Star Radio" again.

I miss my show more than you can imagine. My last show with the legendary Linda Evans, was a memory I shall never forget. We spoke after the show for quite some time (I am trying to implement some of the incredible advice she has given me). To fight this thing like a warrior (to never give up despite the trials thrown my way). People and obstacles thrown my way may break my heart, and slow me down, but never so still that I lay seemingly dead without a pulse. The fire will go out of me on the day that I take leave of this world, and not a moment before.

Thank you so much for letting me simply be myself. You have to work hard to fake a smile when you don't feel it in your heart that day or to pretend that all is well by simply envisioning it, when that's just not possible at times walking through something like this. It's why I love people who are gloriously flawed, imperfect, and real. I can relate to them. They are genuine. You have been a candle burning brightly in the dark for me. There are days when I don't have the energy to get out here as I used to and thank you as often as I would like to. Please know that every comment, note, and email has meant the world to me. I know that there are still some that are unread in my inbox and I truly apologize from the heart (if I could read them all, I would). I am just trying to hold things together as best I can. Thank you for your unwavering love and loyalty come what may. You have become a second family to me. Thank you..XOXOXOXOXO............

Hello Raven,
This is my first message to you. I am so sorry for all the pain in your life. I also agree with you on your Soapnet comment. I wish I had the courage and the format to say what you did. You are in my prayers. God Bless you and John. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your life. May you have inner peace in these trying times. JP

(((Dearest Ravenbeauty)))

Surrounding you with healing light and sending loving thoughts your way every single day. My prayers won't end -
even after you are healed. :)

A little tidbit you likely know of - a new soap is being developed for online viewing - "Tainted Dreams" - - -
Many familiar faces are in the cast. Maybe this is the wave of the future? Web site:

Love you!
