		<description>So sorry that this happened.  I&#039;ve enjoyed having your calendar on my computer for years and will miss it.   Can&#039;t say I don&#039;t understand your feelings.</description>

		<description>Dear Mark and the talented Flowerbud staff,
I went to look for the free desktop calendar that I appreciate so much and went to your journal link instead and read the entry, much to my chagrin!

I just want you all to know that I&#039;ve truly enjoyed my monthly desktop calendar since I first heard about flowerbud. Many years ago it was featured in one of my &quot;beautiful websites&quot; books. I had to go check it out...and indeed it was...and still is! I&#039;ve been back monthly since your site has been up and have put up your monthly calendar on all my desktops and laptops!

The fact that you&#039;ve provided a free desktop calendar monthly was like the icing on the cake and for that I feel the need to say a big thank you! I&#039;ve received LOTS of compliments on my desktop, especially when doing webex presentations...I always point people to your beautiful website to order some gorgeous flowers.

Anyway, all good things must come to an end. Obstinate people like Menelika are reminders that karma will indeed catch up to the meanness of such bad energy!

Keep your chins up...there are people out there that truly appreciate all your hard work! I can also say that every month I&#039;ve enjoyed my desktop calendar from my &quot;flower buds&quot;! :)

Cheers,
Samantha</description>

		<description>Gavin told me how excited he was to take you up. What he didn&#039;t say was what an accomplished writer you are. Two of a kind - one of you plying his trade with a pen the other doodling in the sky.</description>

		<description>Mark,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at the Power Breakfast and I really enjoyed the read. 
It sounds like you have the right perspective on things that matter.

Wishing you continued success.

		<description>I am so sad to hear the Sonesta is no more. I had heard it was closed, I had thought for renovations, and was looking to see if it had re-opened for a trip we wanted to take in the spring. I kept going to its website and only found something saying the hotel was closed. It took searching to find out why and that is how I found your article. That was back in 2006, so I guess it has been gone a while now. Something may be in its place, but after staying there about 10 years ago and loving it, I won&#039;t be staying in its reincarnation. Thanks for your piece on the place and its history. We learned alot about the history of the area from a waitress in a restaurant in the hotel one day, and from a women working in one of the shops. We also enoyed conversation from a woman from New York who had been coming there for years every winter. Unique place. I will miss it.</description>
