@Ewaade_3A Great post as usual. You always have what to say according to any Google event and never miss something unnoticed. So any star has itâs own sky to shine.
Itâs a pity, this year my country is out of Google maps life. We canât make edits, so our region becomes more and more outdated in maps and people more and more often start using Yandex maps instead of Google ones.

Thank you @OlgaKlimchik
What do you mean by your country is out of Google Maps?
Belarus?
How and why?
@Ewaade_3A Three countries: Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are without edits now.
One God knows when all this absurd will stop.
I am not sure Belarus and Russia will be let to come back.

Wow! This is a great safety measure employed. Oh, dear Olga, I never knew Belarus was in such close proximity to Ukraine or Russia nor did I hear about this announcement since I was ill and away from Maps and Connect at the time.
Accept my good wishes as I continue to pray for your safety and that of your son and other members of your family
Love always 
, Olga

@Ewaade_3A Unfortunately itâs our territory is used by Russia to make attacks to Ukraine. Excuse me for touching this theme in your post please.
Hope you have completely recovered already. Stay safe.

Please feel free to touch any theme because it is related to what is being discussed.
Please do not embarass me with this apology.
I cannot believe this is what is happeningâŚ
Now, I know better. God will take control and I pray everything gets resolved pretty soon.
I have missed reading from you alot!
@OlgaKlimchik and I have missed you, Olga.
I guess I should follow the news more so as to know what is going on around me.
Yes, I have made a great recovery, just some issue with My back and my right leg, I believe even that will resolve soon.thanks for asking

Thank you for the recap and for sharing your insights. I bet Masa has item #4 printed out and hanging on his wall.
I think itâs beautiful that you share the wisdom of your family and community with all of us. Youâre making the world a little smaller and the rest of us better. When my grandfather escaped Poland and landed in Canada, he was a farmer. He ultimately made it to the US but had to work in construction or manual labor because he fell short of the âWesternâ standards at the time. He kept quiet mostly but shared his joy of mischief with me. I only wish I had more time and proximity to have learned true life lessons about survival and what are, ultimately, the real important things in life like you have. So, thank you for sharing.
I witnessed the grace with which you responded to the folks in the reveal post who came from all 3 groups. I sometimes find it difficult to distinguish the language and cultural differences regarding tone and intention on the boards. However, you seem to be a true global citizen and know how to read the vibe to give assurance or praise when needed. Thatâs so rad and rare.
If nobody greet you, @Ewaade_3A , I greet you 
. Though we can see you have plenty of greeters from all over. Iâll get in line!

Oh my goodness!
I thought we were reserving those special greetings for Kristen who is able to pull this off after just a short time with us.
I am happy I met you right before the announcements.
Congratulations on making it to this yearâs Guiding star list. You are such an amazing individual!
I doubt I am the only one paying Masa such compliments should he decide to hang all, his wall would be filled with graffiti-like hangings by now.
You radiate such positive vibes and energy, I am sure your Grandfather will be proud.
Before now, when I hear of Poland, Saint John Paul II comes to mind, but now, I only think of @AniaKiser who is a Guiding star (2021) from Poland.
You have a huge sense of humor and if you hang around more, I hope you do, I would really enjoy exchanging bants and insights with you since you pass your message across clearly with a tinge of humor.
I like your ability to read the room and understand more than what one is really saying. Kudos 
Thank you for following me so closely and taking time to share with me and making me laugh so much tonight. @JustJake
P.S. - you remind me so much of @JacobLED
Havenât seen him here since 2020. I think this was our first interaction. He was a friend of @OliverKIWI and I.

Thank you for the congratulations. Iâm far less deserving than the obvious Super Stars and celebrities we all know around here. Still, Iâll do my best to represent the community and hopefully live up to the recognition. Though, I liked the anonymity quite a bit. 
Thatâs a bummer @JacobLED vanished, @Ewaade_3A ! Hopefully, you have other ways to keep in touch and that heâs well. This post about finding graffiti is great!
Anyhow, I tried finding insightful American proverbs to share with you, but it turns out weâre REALLY bad at being insightful. I hope that 2023 finds you in all of the places you want to be.

You are far too kind.
Thank you.
From his last comments here, I suspect he was in the MilitaryâŚ
I donât believe in the âdeservingâ category, if you were selected, then, you deserve it and should celebrate for all its worth.
Please continue to be the bright, shining example.
Remember, I said to someone;
"In each of the people selected, try to find yourself. I have found my cheer and contagious warmth in one of the stars this year; You!
Please donât vanish.
Amen, all of 2023 is not in my hands I hope for the best.
Thanks for talking with me and sharing with me @JustJake
A star is a star whether it is noticed by others or not, none can take its place in the Sky because the Almighty has placed it there, no matter how tiny it is, You are a Star, never let anyone make you feel undeserving of the honor, dear @JustJake

Wow⌠Thatâs a lot of information you have processed⌠Dear @Ewaade_3A ,
I feel the depth of your feelings in all your words; to a very great extent you are true too⌠Appreciate your boldness also. You have mentioned many aspects which I admire.
âspeak the truth, without hurting anyoneâ
I agree & have done the needful - thank you for amalgam it in that angle.
The last 3 paragraphs have different meanings when read from different contingent⌠I know that you have well worded it; but, still, if you can edit it is a bit⌠What do you think?
All the best, daughterâŚ

ââŚI work meticulously without making much noiseâŚâ
Yes, very dear @Gurukrishnapriya ⌠We all are well aware of thisâŚ
According to me, our global community has very well accepted you as a shinning star and has given you the maximum respect too.
However, there are certain times, we feel low - I can fully understand & also sympathise with you. Last two years, I felt miserable when I came to know that my hard work was not recognised - where very junior LGs were honoured too.
As rightly mentioned by our dear @Ewaade_3A , we all are lucky - God has provided this much to us⌠let us be happy about it. Look at our Ewaade⌠at her this young age, what all difficulties she had to overcome?
Almighty bless all & keep us safe.
Best wishesâŚ
Vanakkam.
