Tinka,

A beautiful painting, a beautiful write . . . stirs the emotions -
vous faites à la main votre travail avec la brillance totale - Bravo!

Hugs,

Lance

We all feel ourselves drowning in moments like these
just relax and write about those moments themselves
and you see how fast you find yourself back on track
try it you might like it
As I wish you all the love & peace in the word

William

I am very familiar with these feelings, TinkaSweets. Thank Goodness that you are back now. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

I was looking for your recent work and I found this instead. I hope that you will feel better and come back soon. Sometimes we all need to stop what we're doing, it's only human. :-)

Axilea

I know exactly how you feel, Tinka. Take your time to recover your will to engage this creative aspect of your life, dear poetess. We all must withdraw from time to time; it's part of our endless cycle of incarnation, growth & revival...
Peace & Blessings,
Carolyn

You've posted, so I hope you are better. That painting is beautiful! Painting is great therapy and, based on what I've observed, original painting becomes much more valuable than bookloads of poems.

Keep painting my lust into your canvas and the notoriety alone well make you famous... if not happy.

Ron

WO!! I feel CRUSHED! So sorry I didn't see these heartfelt feelings earlier Sis!
(my fault doing too many things)
You have been in my heart daily since we opened up even more lately! I wish you nothing but the BEST and as you return, you will in body, mind and spirit!
I just know it, don't let inspiration get the best of you. That will never do!
I feel your sadness and pain and I don't want to hear it again, I am sending you unending happiness and warmth of my energy, to be with you daily!
Write On!
Warmest Blessings and Inner Peace, Warrior Purple Lady Shexooo

STay Positive!
STay Strong!
P.S. I don't know what HAPPENED, but I hope it's over with now, and your wisdom is strengthened! I missed you! and your loving kind heart!
Write On!

I will miss you Tinka, but I know this about you girl...you're one tough cookie who will be back...and when you do come back you'll be so full of spunk! Be well, love Holly

We are all with you Tinka... we are your AD family

Tinks, I know how you feel, at times life just loses its appeal, and away goes the thrill but it's worth holding onto. I'm at your point also but I refuse to give into the pits, its harder climbing from the bottom. It's easier just staying somewhere near the top, and refusing to stop, must less drop. Sorry about the rhyme, just habit, like trying to stay on the top I guess, love & hugs and do take care

Hi Tinka,
I know people have to get away. I do myself. I'll always love my
family here at AD.
Love ya Tinka and be well
Ron

Such a painful write my friend, written from the heart...your artwork is outstanding as your work always is. I too have been away from the den for other reasons, but I think all poets/artists go through these emotional times...know that you will be missed, take care of yourself! We await your return home...you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Blessings from Ky.

Oh such pain. Perhaps a break in writing will help gain perspective, but pain has been unrelenting to you. Love, R
P.S. Not sure about ERT -- Cancer specialists say they are seeing more of a certain type of tumor resulting from women who have been on ERT.

I often find personal comfort deep in the valley of isolation. Here I discover that my memory is too full and begin to re-arrange what's there, clearing out any dregs that shouldn't be. I then have a little chat with life, asking why it doesn't ask what I want instead of lumping me with options that I don't. John Lennon sang, 'Life is what happens to you while we're busy making other plans.' So true.
I hope the clouds soon lift, making way for the bright rays of inspiration and indeed optimism to shine once more in your precious life.
more.

Regards
Dai

Tinka your words felt very painful
I hope and pray that this emotional torture will
Soon stop and for only good thing
Will come to you
Don’t stay away to long for I will be praying for
You every day till you come back to us
Remember that we will always be with you!!
Peace Love and Light
Hugssssss…….Morning Star

Tinka, remember that our love walks hand-hand with you. When things look bleak, please remember this. Until the Muse tickles your imagination with excitement, our prayers are with you. Peace. Jon Michael Willey

gosh Tinka,, your words make me sad,, you are full of spunk and fun, so we need you here to brighten our day,,!!!
Love, Christine

Ouch, Tinka, this hurts, Darlin. I, too, do hope that this is just a very brief crunch-time and that there is too much of your blood and emotion invested here... and you into ours... for you to be able to stay away for long. I'm sure we are all pretty much AD-junkies, actually. But mail me if you need to open a window or something. I am actually a diffident person and never seek to intrude because I know how important personal space is, especially when you need it! BUT YOU ARE NEVER, EVER ALONE as has been said. Reach out to one of us if you need/want to. But know that you are loved and will be sorely missed. And if this break gives you more time with your fabulous art, then that is to your gain! Be well, Sweetheart. Take care and time to make some daisy chains. Keep us posted. Love, Kate xx

I hope that life decides to treat you kinder but I did the same thing myself and threw in the towel for several years. I do wish you find your inner peace and come back soon

Now my little friend, maybe all you need is a boot up your rear end to wake up, make you mad, and grab that Muse of yours by the throat and shouted in her face that enough is enough and that your heart wants to write, so, she should start to move her fanny! ! !

Georg

I certainly hope you start to feel better real soon sweet lady...stay safe and well...Hugsss

Tinka...you are in my thoughts...my prayers. Know that you are never alone.

Tinka my thoughts and prayers are with you! We all can relate,and know this is difficult time for someone to go through ,just know you have our love,and our emails if you need to reach out, don't hesitate. Hope to see you soon!!!

Love,
Eileen

Stay away, but not too long.

these sound very similiar to ascention symptoms Tinka, hugs....know that they will pass, and when your energy returns renewed, you will be welcomed back.

Tinka, I hope you take a breather and be back soon, we all find ourselves from time to time facing what seem like insurmountable problems and stresses in our lifes and need to take a step back and pause to catch our second winds. Tink I have shared words and thoughts and caring with you for a long time, you and I are a few of the "old timers" here on the den and this family cannot afford to lose your voice. Hurry back.
hugs
Fee

please take care of yourself, i will think of you and wish you well

Oh Tinka, in my thoughts and prayers you will remain. Hope you will find the inner strength to sort everything out, sparkle and shine like the bright star that you are. You will be missed, but do understand well....

Be always safe,
Karen

You take care, Tinky, and we all look forward to the day you are once again feelin, Pinky.

Do what you must do . . . I quite understand . . .

I am sure you will be in everyones thoughts till next we hear from you...by the way, you sound like a candidate for anti-depressants, hey, they work for me...go to the beach and find PEACE...Ed & Rufuz

I guess when you are hurt this much the best thing is to rest and compose yourself. You will be in my prayers that this dark night will soon pass.

(((Tinka)))

I am sorry you are going through this; is there any way you can get any help?? You are in my prayers, sweetie; please take care of yourself! The den will be a much sadder place without you!

I love you!

(((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) and many prayers~

As always, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :( >tears! <
