okay well I just felt I should post this!

I mentioned in my other thread for those of us staying that we ought to throw our friends a retirement party well

this is their going away party.

I've learned a lot from all of you and will miss you lots!
I respect your decision to leave and have reached a sort of understanding that it's meant to be even if I'm sad to see you all go.

So this is my way of telling you I care and let you know how much you have impacted me and this place.

Many of you were my teachers and friends.

And I know some people are upset you are leaving even kind of offended so I propose that we concentrate on all the good things we have learned from you and all the good times had here on IS.

If anyone has anything NICE to say about someone this is the thread to do it!

I know one thing at the very least... before Imzadi I didn't like cupcakes...

I know I know... but now I love them. They remind me of this place and you wonderful people.

I have many things to thank you for my teachers and friends.
Despite all the negative things being said and thought and felt right now
know that you will be missed by me and I respect your decisions.

Well everyone else feel free to add to this!

aww....*sobb*


Imzadi, cupcake Queen i don't know her well truth be told, but it seemed she put her heart all in IS, always trying to balance and soothe, always an open ear to listen, always having some helpful input....i just found out she left a few hours ago, and i was speechless, my heart stop for a moment! Imzadi i hope you keep walking your path, you are the change! may love and light be with you on your path!

Freespeak, he had this disclaimer on this sinature when i first got here, saying something like "this is an older indigo, so you might not understand my words..."(very poor wording of mine!)something among those lines, and man, that was so true.... always brought "crazy" topics! He took me in, connected me to others, allowed me to feel that i belong somewhere! I hate to see him go, much wisdom he brought to this place...
I know you 're still gonna have fun elsewhere Freespeak stay who you are, not perfect but awesome!

Lavella...i still have no words for her leaving...this one really hurts me, me inside....a person so caring is rare, she would have given everything, and she did, even with leaving this place! *hugs lavella*....*sigh*

To everyone who has left this place, may your beaufitul lights shine and ignite other people on your path. Always stand for what you believe in, and pursue the truth with a pure heart.

I didn't know many (if any) of you personally, but I know the impressive flame feeling that was around when you were online, and that is something that will be missed. But hopefully it will be able to inspire a new way of being for those that have chosen to stick around a while longer. For the cycle of change is one that can be relied on, and as we grow and learn different settings and situations are more appropriate than others.

i have not been reading posts - i hope for a return. imzadi if you read this you are a shining star that so needs to be here. all this news makes me sad, i hope a new post is here to say it's not so.

lillies1978,

i really liked what you said about all the others - maybe i have not found the post of the return. hope it's just a break from the intensity.

always looked forward to imzadi's kind words and her beautiful heart.
