Ambivalent, The "ff" was a typo and it should have been "if". Sorry about that, but not all of us are perfect when it comes to thinking and typing at the same time.
Even though RC was/is a member here, she still created her own site w/coaching/counseling services w/fees, just as Michele offers here. Her online forum is now a business competitor of Michele's when you think about it. It's best to refer to sites that offer services for hire as "other forums, etc." and since you are now on FB, that may be a better place to address where you received the info to the other FB participants in DB land. We've had others who joined the forum and then did spin offs w/their own online forums w/fees in the past and we were reminded not to reference them by name or put their links here by name because of the fees for service.
I know that if I had a business and a client who had been utilizing my services for a while began to drop the name of a competitor periodically, I wouldn't like it because that would be considered free advertising as well as possibly taking away from my own livelihood, but also being a bit disrespectful to the current business that I am utilizing. Please keep in mind that I am looking at this in a different way than you because I've been in the business world and have seen how word of mouth references can be interpreted as good intentions, but can also raise the curiosity of others and then the client pool drops or the revenue begins to move elsewhere.
I only mentioned the reference to you because I have seen the names or links censored and the poster reminded not to reference those things in the past. However, you do what you want and if the names or links become censored, you'll know why.
I do wish you all of the best and I'm sure you'll do just fine thru the holidays.
Just my two cents.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
