Hi

CAN’T KEEP UP…BUT THANKS FOR THE “THANX”
I’ve had many hundreds of thousands of comments on my various other WordPress blogs at https://craigsblogs.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/craigs-list-of-blogs-updated-sept-2011/
in recent years …true!) …a few of my blogs (this one and a few others) went “balistically viral” a few years back.

Obsessive or WHAT! Am really pleased you are enjoying my writings, as the reason I write is to share. However I am unable to keep up with the comments and was spending entire days just on replies on my various blog pages.

Though I’m rather “driven”, I still get really, really fatigued (there’s a few books there ). so sorry can’t reply individually to all you good people scattered around the planet, but DO try to read as many as possible daily (and even moderate a few when I get a “mo”), I got swamped with comments on my various blogs, so have had to close them off on all of my blogs, except for one or two of particular interest to me  

– sorry and hope you can understand.

I do really appreciate your liking, linking to and/or following this blog (and “writing in”), so “thanks for the thanx”

“As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”

“Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.a
“Aim at the stars and you may reach the moon.”
“Aim at heaven and you’ll have earth thrown in…
and you may even hit the stars.”

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
– Leonardo da Vinci

When (or if ever) you arrive in heaven, let faith, hope and love be the wings that carried you there.”

“The Greatest Race: Living by (with) faith, hope and love is the highest podium any person can reach, God’s podium that anyone stand on.”

“Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win.”

“If a man is called to be a street-sweeper,
he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted,

He should sweep streets so well
that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say,
here lived a great street sweeper
who did his job well.”
– Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

I wish you rainbows to brighten your day
To feel your quiet moments with a special kind of warmth
to remind you that happiness can happen
when you least expect it.

I wish you rainbows to make you laugh and smile
to show you the simple beauty of life
and to give you the magic of dreams come true.

I wish you rainbows
I wish you well.”

A Problem: Spam Mail

Hi

I do really appreciate your liking, linking to and/or following this blog (and “writing in”), so “thanks for the thanx” and your many thoughtful comments. However, I do have a problem in that I’m being inundated with spam from Youtube (US car dealerships and http://getforeverrecovery.com/) (thousands and thousands of messages), so am having to delete, so if you have sent a comment, it probably got missed amongst the deleted junk mail.

 THis  also unfortunately means that you’ll have to be logged in to WordPress to comment on articles. Sorry about that, but that’s the only way I can manage. A  few have spoilt it for the many.

Thanks for the understanding

THANKS (for the “thanx”)

 

Hi to all you “out there in cyberspace”

Pleased you all like this post (or quote) and thanks for linking to and/or following this blog. I’ve had many many hundreds of thousands  of comments (perhaps millions – true!) since I started this blog a few years ago, together with so many links already, so thank you so much. I had to close off comments a while back. With so many blogs (www.craigsblogs.wordpress.com) and books to write and manage, as well of the thousands and thousands of comments at  www.creativewritingcourse.blogtown.co.nz (and so little time in a day and night) unfortunately as a “one man band” (but totally unmusical), I can’t return the favour, but your actions are much appreciated. Instead of replying individually, I’ll just carry on writing… “till I drop” *…

All the best and happy writing

craig

thanks to all for the great feedback

Hi

Thanks for the feedback to you all, but I’m being swamped by “spam mail” (no, most not really “spam” – most of comments are great, but some people are abusing the system, just trying to promote their own products….and so spoiling it for most) For the past days I’ve spent all my time going through the mail and sorting out genuine comment

So I can’t go through the hundreds and hundreds of messages, I get each day and have to “simply empty the “spam” box (not really spam)

Still I’m pleased you readers are enjoying these thoughts (why I write) and I really DO APPRECIATE the feedback. Will try to read as many responses as I can each day, but may only approve a few. I’ll try to manage as best I can and “do as I go”
I do appreciate the feedback

To answer a few questions raised in your comments (I’m “snowed under”, so sorry, don’t have resources as a “one man band” to answer you individually)
* All my writings and articles may be freely reproduced (sorry don’t have time write for other websites), as I’m busy writing a few books at the moment
* If you clicked on contact and you keep on getting mail (or something like that) I know NOTHING, so contact WordPress admin direct. I put most of my energy, my focus into my books, so have no idea how to add sound, video, etc

* I don’t have a newsletter to subscribe to
* please feel free to link to the web site or my other wordpress blogs at http://craigsblogs.wordpress.com
* I’m a “total non-techno”, so know, nothing about web site design, feeds, etc. And lay-out is not one of my strong points. I just write! How I got am where I am now is a “miracle” . And no one would believe the story!
* Will try to post articles from time to time, but all my writings are available at http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/user/15565 and http://www.ideamarketers.com/library/profile.cfm?writerid=981 in case you’re interested
(Personal growth, self help, writing, internet marketing, spiritual, ‘spiritual writings’ (how ‘airey-fairey’), words of inspiration

Thanks again for the understanding and back to writing new books  (have some new ideas)

craig

PS: Perhaps someone with more time and technical talents than than me could SET UP A BLOG with WordPress to discuss the issues raised and take comments , then I could do a LINK!

I, like most people am not religious, but rather ‘spiritual’ (and religion and dogma divides)

“We are all spiritual beings  on an earthly jouurney ” (or should that be the other way round)

Perhaps a new topic for discussion???
