Hello Michael,

I've read all the posts her and have been following it ever since I first read it and posted here this morning. I just had to come and add a few more points to ponder.

You have a group of friends that are from different walks of life, back rounds, religions and customs. They all want you to stay and keep on contributing in your special way.

I think Brian summed it up in 2 words. STUFF THEM!!!!! Don't let small minded people win and drive you out of a community where you are respected, liked and appreciated.

I hope my next post here will be to congratulate you for your decision to stay and carry on doing what you do so well.

Shalom,

Peter

Cathy,

Thank-you for the boost to my self-esteem by being someone who speaks my language. I burst into shock when I read your line  tell them to "GET STUFFED". I speak to people who I just disagree with not the rude, crude, and nasty ones.

Cathy you have put a smile on the face of a Disheartened Poet.

Blessings,

Michael

Sara my Poet Friend,

Was this a mistake for me to do or is it a way for the Lord to speak thru my friends?

You are the first to mention about how we all make mistakes and should learn from them to move on. For this I am grateful of having you as a friend.

I do not speak of Religion here in AdlandPro very often as we all have our own way of speaking with God. There are some very Prominent people here in Adland who will agree with what you have said. There is not a perfect person within this Community even tho some think they are, which I am the furthest from being perfect in life.

I have read thru some of my past Poems I have posted here and there are a few that keep sticking out in front. One of these is Doubts of Oneself which is what I have had the past couple of weeks.
 
"To error is Human but to forgive is Divine."

I do have many friends here who are waiting for my shared Book with Kari Shinal to be Published. All of our work here and a few extras from Kari have given us enough for actually 2 Books or more. There are many here who have pushed us towards this but I know you were the first. For this I will always be beholden to you for because of the friendship which has grown stronger, between 2 Poet's with the desire to succeed of having their own Book in print.

Blessings my friend,

Michael

My Longtime Friends and Supporters,

Kevin Doolittle,  Diane Bjorling, Kathy Hamilton, Dennis Turner, Peter  Fogel,  Nick Grimshawe , Steven Suchar, and Pauline  Raina you have all been a major part  in Supporting my Poetry forums. While you all touch on the same principles of why I should stay here and not waste my God given Gift because of those who do not like my Poetry and have left my forum. This is not the reason behind my decision to leave AdlandPro, I made the decision because of those who use and have used my Poetry to further promote themselves.

Believe me when I say that you have all touched me deep into my Heart and Soul with your responses here and the support you have all given to my Poetry. You have all asked me to reconsider my decision of leaving AdlandPro because of the action of others.

Sara Blow has said it the best here tho when she said
"We are all human and make mistakes".

I also asked a question in my response to her. "Is this a mistake for me to do or is it a way for God to speak thru my friends?"

I have pondered this question since reading Fionnaula Fox asking me to heed the advice of John Partington and Jim Allen III.

I do not believe in the word Religion as we all pray to the same Higher Power called God all of us in our own way.

Following what I have dreams about or what I call visions of the future to come in my life as well as those I care deeply for at times. Brings back some I can now recollect of what is happening right now in my life and career. These dreams can be changed if a person chosen to change them for themselves.

You have all made statements that are very true about the lives I have touched here by everyones posts. I have to believe you all even tho I myself do not see it happening just from my words. I keep hearing the words of "Do not let others make you waste your God given gift".

My Poetry to me comes from deep within myself and my emotions are shown. They also only look like words put together by me that speak of things that have happened in my life. For me they are filled with emotions yes but never in my wildest Dreams did I realize how much they really affected others.

I have been Blessed to receive all of you friends who have touched my Heart.

God Bless each and everyone of you and your Loved ones.

Michael

Nick My Adland Brother,

You have supported me since I started posting Poetry here in 2006 with your kind comments and your very appropriate photos. I thank-you for your friendship which has been noted by me from the start.

I had those same tears as I wrote this post.

Blessings,

Michael
