Re: Make a Difference <To LUNA & All>

[Guest guest]

Dearest LUNA,

Yes, i know, i have read this story so many times before also, but i wanted post this story, as an appreciation to , who made a difference, by feeding the Homeless people.

You are the one with the very kind soul, LUNA, not me, with all your kind encouragement & comments, to almost all the postings, but however since, i am not at all a good writer, one who is unable to express myself fully, i usually respond a posting, with another similar posting...esp, since the experts are better at it, than me.

So, now i hope all Members here are not offended or take any offence, if i were to do so....Thanks very much for your Tolerance...i do appreciate it very much!

Namaste to you & all Members here as well, LUNA,

Alice

Dear Alice,I have always loved this story, thank you for posting it. Isn't it so true, we sometimes miss the fact that we can make a difference even if it be on being or soul! You are such a kind soul, thank you again, sweetie!

Dear Alice,

I prove my point, hehe *great bow of respect* YOU my dear,

whether you like it or not, are a kind, compassionate and beautiful

soul. You lovingly post many amazing stories and poems. It may not

be your words, but it is what is behind that gift that I love about

you and your heart of gold, dear! Yes, indeed! You have offered the

story of the starfish to , whom I fully feel deserves it from a

beautiful place in your heart. Thank you for being YOU! Love, LUNA
