Leaving for Awhile

I will be back to judge my contests on December 2 briefly, don't think I have forgotten about them

Just to get this out of the way and do it quickly. I am leaving for a little while. My poetry sucks, I can barely write anymore. My commenting sucks, I can't even come close to expressing how your poetry touches my heart, those of you who know and love me know who you are and what I'm talking about.

 

I know I have asked 30 of you to joing a challenge I am starting and I ask you to please forgive me for not doing it yet but know that it is still my intention to do this when I pull some stuff together.

 

Life's just weird for me right now. I'm highly emotional and it's doing nobody any good, especially me so I ask for your understanding and ask you to keep me in your prayers while I'm gone.

 

I will be here when I can to check messages and asure all of you that I hope to see them from you when I log on because it's kind of a lonely time for me right now and I could use them. Know that I keep you in my heart and my thoughts and I love you.

 

Be well and be blessed.

 

Michelle

    ~wishing I was there with you right now so I could slap some sense into you~
    <<< hasn't been able to write anything decent for about 3 months now, so I don't have writer's block, I have a government strike going on at the moment and the union workers DEMAND a 30% increase in wages!
    Go to movies, go shopping, get out and get to see that there ARE other people out there - hey, who knows, you could make a new friend by having coffee and meeting somebody!
    You NEVER get more than you can handle Michelle, so suck it up and deal with it - it WILL make you stronger in the end
    lol - am gonna miss the drive by's though

You write ever so beautifully. I shall keep you in my thoughts and prayers and if ya ever want to talk, just know I am there for you. Just e-mail me anytime and I'll talk with ya. Miss ya lots and take care of yourself. Take time to reflect on yourself and your wants and needs. Pamper yourself once in a while, cause Lord knows....everyone needs that. Stay strong and know you have me as your friend and confidante.

    I feel like crying, Michelle. I don't like to think of you as lonely or encountering a difficult time (though we all are at times and we all do.) I pray that peace settles in your restless soul, and you are able to enjoy the holidays, I applaud you for your honesty, and I hpe to see you back real soon. Take care, and enjoy the season, love.

    We all need that break every now and again. (At least you got to choose to take yours... sorry had to be a smartass!)
    We will be here when you get back, waiting for your words once again. Take the time you need, and take care of YOU!

    Take care of you!

    I have read your poetry and I do not think it is bad! I have read your comments and do not think they are bad. Everyone reaches a place where serenity is needed in their lives. Sorry you are taking a break but if you need it, it is exactly what you should do. Just remember many people out here DO care about you and Do think you are a good writer. I don't have contests due to the low volume of response. So if you are upset by the low volume of entries please don't be. It doesn't "mean
    anything. Take care of yourself and be well poet!

    All the best to you on the road to your reflections, after reading the sincerity and good advice that all these poets have left you there are no pearls of wisdom left for me to leave but the beauty is that when you are refeshed and rejeuvenated and find the time and inclination that our beloved allpoetry will be here ready to welcome you back into the fold of our poetic community.
    Many blessings,

    Dear Sis'

    You and me talk often and I know how hard life can be at times. You take the time you need but use it on yourself. Take care of YOU! Our children and significant others are important but not as important as us, not more so anyway. I will miss you because you've always been my shoulder. I have been yours as well. Understand that trouble don't last, always...

    I think the Universe is in some chaotic mode tight now. Things are out of kilter for many of us. The balance will come though. You know I keep you close in prayer and thought. I love you dearly and pray that you get some resolve and clarity with whatever the situation.

    Do as you must!

    I love YOU Always ♥

    Renee

    You know....

    what I want for you. I want for you to be happy healthy. If this means you are gone for a while then I'll deal with it. Life sometimes bites us in the ass, but sometimes sister of my soul, that bite is to make us move forward. The pain of what we go through makes us stronger, when our hearts shatter and we melt those pieces down and put them back together they are stronger.

    The path you are on is rocky and full of pits and pot holes. It stretches out before you for miles. Remember that we have walked this road both together and apart. You have a shoulder when you need it and a partner to rage with. (let me know if I need a shovel and some body bags)

    Heal, take time for YOURSELF, not other family members or friends but YOU. Promise me my dearest that you will do this for YOU.

    Know that I love you and love will be sent your way as it always is and I'll do my best to send you what you need.

    You are a sister of my soul and I love you!


    Yours Always,
    April

    I'm Sorry...

    Michelle:

    I know exactly how you feel, for I suffer of a very profound depression.....

    Take you time and rest, recoup, enjoy your family and all of those that love you.....

    As for us here on AP, will most certainly miss you, I for one will, because I am used to seeing something or another by you......

    Those of us that care and sincerely love you be awaiting with open arms for your return..... Those friends here, are true, good friends; -I know this because this site has treated me and many of us as a family that sticks together.....

    Blessed be with love and light always.....

    Your friend,
    AngelicMistress...Tanya

    PS
    If I had your number I would make sure to call you and see how you're doing. Be well, friend.....
