Ahavati said:Congratulations on completing your 9th Napo, Viddax! We have enjoyed your lighthearted candor along with your more serious side. Wherever this thing called life leads you, may it be blessed with poetry, loving people, and kindness.
Namaste, my friend.

Thank You Tammy, and for all the NaPowriMo team over the years. It has been an honour and privilege to have had the many chances to sign up and see things through. It has always been a welcome challenge to stay the course, and delightful to read the wonders hat other Poets create.
Yet it is heartening that we go forwards with a sense of closure and peace, rather than purely bitterness and regret.
This final quote from the Truman Show seems rather apt: "In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night"!
Namaste, my friend.

Ahavati said:SatinUGal, congratulations on completing your 7th NaPo! The years you spent on the team were some of the best we ever had! Despite life calling you from that area, you remained steadfast and loyal to NaPo regardless of your heavy schedule. The spirituality expressed in your poetry contained a underbelly of mysticism and insight that I always enjoyed, and I will miss reading it.
Wherever life takes you, my Westcoast ally, may it be filled with magic, wonder, and creation!
Namaste, my Friend.

Tammy, this journey has been one of the best of my life, and it has never failed to bring something out of me that surprised and delighted. I can't believe it's ending, and really hope that it finds a home somewhere else next time around. I can't imagine my life without NaPoWriMo. If such a development needed my involvement, everyone can count me in. Much love!

Dear T,
Thank you very much for hosting this poetry event and supporting one and all from start to finish. All of this still feels so surreal. This site and your guiding presence has been such a constant whatever comes next will never be comparable. Thank you for being one of the first poets to take the time to read my first entry and make a meaningful comment. It meant the world to me.
Congratulations to everyone!
Thank you Tammy for your enthusiasm and dedication in keeping this event exciting and oh so worth while! H xx

Ahavati said:Congratulations, Gahddess, on completing your 7th NaPo! Seven years is a long time, but you stuck with it, proving it could be accomplished! Despite struggles, slips, and falls, you got right back up and carried on. As a veteran of DU, you always had such interesting offerings, and I never quite knew what to expect from you. That's always a good thing!
Wherever words lead you, may they be few in cliches and redundancies, and much in love and caring!
Namaste, my Friend.
Tammy
Tammy, what a beautiful name. It evokes memories of a wonderful Debbie Reynold's movie I watched frequently as a kid. Thank you so much for your selfless service hosting NaPo for so many years🙏 I feel it is a true labor of love for us and poetry. I hope to discover your new home...please let us know.
This wise mantra touches me deeply "Wherever words lead you, may they be few in cliches and redundancies, and much in love and caring! "
Namaste, dear fruend and master poet,
Bob❣️🙏

I want you each to know that your responses have moved me in such a way I find it difficult to express my feelings. Please know that each one is precious to me and I have taken a screenshot so that I will always remember them. I have a box specifically for expressions of appreciation and/or gratitude, and each one of these will go in it. Forever.
Always remember that.
Much Love.
Tammy
P.S. Bob, I was literally named after "Tammy and the Doctor". My father was in 'Nam and told my mother if I was a girl to name me "Bertha Rose" ( true story ). He wanted to call me his Rose. My mother hated Bertha, so her and my aunt ( my father's sister ) named me Tammy instead. My aunt took full responsibility and my dad said he'd never forgive her for that.
I told him I had forgiven her enough for both of us!
OMG just to think. . . .

Ahavati said:Congratulations, Luna! It's been an absolute pleasure knowing you as a NaPoet team member and close friend over the years. My deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, belief, and encouragement throughout these challenges. You've always been there for me and I appreciate it more than I can ever say.
This is not goodbye for us, nor well wishes, because we are a part of one another's Life!
See you on the flipside, Friend.

Thank you so much for this message...
It really means very much to me…
I am truly sorry that we bumped heads…
I very much care for you and respect you…
You are beautiful, elegant and brilliant…
Thank you for your well wishes, regarding
NetherWoodPoetry…
I have been thinking about it and…
I would like to continue NaPo…
I would just like to ask if you would
take some time to consider joining
me on Netherwood and continuing
NaPo…
I think that would be so awesome…
So…
I was on another poetry site, which
went under…
It was strange…
The same sort of thing happened, in
the sense, that I took a few months
off…
Came back and the site was going
under…
Quite honestly, I sensed it was
people were giving up on themselves
or something…
Losing the passion for writing…
Maybe it was just the times…
Maybe it was the shift from internet
1.0 to internet 2.0…
But…
I don’t get that, here…
I see super passionate artists who
will find a way, quite honestly…
It’s super inspiring..!
That shows me…
Poetry is not dead..!
Poetry lives..!
:)))
But yes…
Ahavati…
I love you…
I wish you nothing but
the best…
I hope you will consider
continuing NaPo on NWP…
I assure you I will never again
bump heads with you…
Anyway…
Just think about it…
(I am going to have a NWP
Merch shop…
We could design NaPo shirts..!)
