Stop Preaching

As you may have seen Someone posted that to me today.... Stop preaching.

 

 

I really thought about it and decided that if my preaching about.... be good to the band and it will be good to you....helps one person out... Its worth having someone tell me to stop preaching.

 

So I am not stopping. I will shout it from the rooftops... I love my band and my band loves me because I treat it with respect and dedication... If it chooses to fail me down the road it won't be from my doing...and I will just deal with it when the time comes. In the meantime the band and my effort gave me a thin healthy outlook on life and I plan on singing it's praises forever....

You go girl!

I saw that post and realized that person knows nothing about you.

I'm glad you're not giving up on us, though I wouldn't blame you if you did, but I sure would of missed you.

Every time I welcome a newbie and tell them there is a lot of inspiration here, you are the first to come to mind, along with some other great ppl.

I believe the one's that call ppl "know it alls", "preachy" are just jealous b/c they haven't treated their bands well and they make excuses. Time for them to take a good look at themselves.

Thank you for staying!

You know what? I had just about decided not to be on any forums or care about what anyone said after having gone to the other one first. By reading your story and some of the other stories here, from the way you ladies/gentlemen welcomed me here.. I changed my mind. Please do not stop preaching. I NEEDED to read your story and the others. I needed to see with all the doom and gloom on some other sites that there are people who are long term successful and that ultimately it is up to me. So see there.. you have already helped at least one person.

Not to be a stalker but in the past week while I have been recovering I had read tons of your posts. I have looked at your pictures even the tummy tuck ones. I am inspired.

This is not going to be easy for me. I am sure I am going to screw up once or twice. I need there to be honest people with honest stories out here so I can see that other people are going through the same things.

Floriday's I am happy you will not stop.. YELL it Girl.. from the rooftops! You have been an inspiration to me from the moment I stepped into this forum and will always be! If people can't deal with it they have the problem, not you and I'm happy you know that. You rock ! Always look forward to what you have to say because YOU have been a success, you have been there.. what better to learn from someone who succeed than someone who didn't? Have a good night <3

Don't let the ignorance of a few stop you from sharing your story! You speak truth, and not only do you speak truth, you have so much wisdom from your own journey to share. I personally admire you so much. I know there's others out there just like me that look to you for not only common sense but as inspiration.

...if you ever left I'd hunt your skinny butt down. Just say'n ;)

preaching?

if a successful person is (preaching) aka you, missy, aj, grammy, alex, jeannie, b52, then let me get in the first row pew

my thoughts is this

the ones most vocal (against those successful) are the ones who are not following the rules/guidelines and are just upset with themselves as this (magical) cure all hasnt worked to their (specifications) and blame everyone........successful people, the band, the dr ..everyone but the person they need to look at..

as always, looking foward to you guys next post.
