Dear Friends

Just a note to let you know I am taking a break from the soup. I didn't want anyone to worry.  I do plan on coming back, I just need to concentrate on other aspects of my life for a while. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me and helped me grow over the past few years. Sometimes I may have seemed unreceptive but I have learned so much since joining the soup. This is an amazing community and I hold you all dear to my heart. Your friend and fellow poet, Richard.
