I lock my gallery for a while. No need to email or IM me to ask me why.
I need time for myself now, hope you can understand that !!
Better to post here some words, before people just guessing why,

and making their own stories!
No need to explain why I made this choice, it's private
maybe I come back after a while...but for now I have enough from it

I will look and leave some comments if I feel the need,

but no uploads from my side

thanks for the always nice comments I got!!*

I will read here, so please don't email or IM me,

I will not reply on this thread,

it is fair enough to let my favorite artists know

I know some will be disapointed, sorry for that

Ilona

I just thought of mailing you, when I saw this... Thanks for the message... and take care! (je bent oud en wijs genoeg, LOL)

Best wishes whatever you do - Richard.

oh.... other person to go... i'm very sad to see that... Well i respect your choice I cannot to make anything more...
I hope  you can to find what you need now... And, accept my sincery congrats for all your beautiful gallery...
Peace

Ilona, you are kind and straightforward in simply saying your reasons are private..we all should be able to understand that. Best wishes, talented lady.  And lots of joy to you.        Tom.

I hope you get the respite you need and that we see you and your lovely work again before too much time passes. Take care Ilona.

I won't ask you why Ilona.

But i totally understand that you ain't young or little to do or make your own dicissions :) I am pretty sure that you are doing the right thing..

Some times people need to rest, or they will blow.. Like Tom said.. Straight forward and kind.. How nice of your to let your friends, FAVED+ artists know that you are taking off for sometime..

Me! I totally understand, also getting a bit bussy.. so i will be in and out for sometime.. Need to do better things.. at the same time i guess that we all will be waiting to see you back..

Thank you for the thread and have a lovely day,

JOE

Good luck in whatever you decide to do from now on. Take your time, and just remember that you´re always welcome back here to us.

Take good care of yourself - take whatever time you need, knowing that you are not forgotten and are welcome back anytime you want.

My glass is running over

But the barman keeps on pouring

My head is so hungover

But the jukebox keeps on roaring

My world is falling apart

But this joint I’m in is jumping

The singer is breaking my heart

And the base drum keeps on thumping.

Take me out of this madness

And lend me Solomon’s shoulder

Leave me alone with my sadness

Let me weep until I am bolder.

Did you write that,John?

is very beautiful this one...
