101 Reasons We Will Miss Simone
Aww shucks!!
You're too kind to me. Anything good I may have done for you is simply a result of your being helpful, active members of our community and creating such interesting, enlightening Hubs.
I feel so lucky I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know y'all!
I will miss you too, though I my digital door is and will remain open- you can always drop me a line. I'm here to help.
I have a hub planned for this very thing, so I will save my reasons for its eventful launch. Thanks Marcy for inspiring folks to send her a massive message in a truly unique way, to say Goodbye as a community. Cool forum post!
"We love you Simone & you will surely be missed by us all."I will also miss Simone's incredible sense of personal style!
Here's the Great Simone, at the Whole Foods Flagship store in Austin during SXSW week:
I'll miss the entertaining and funny hubs that Simone writes.
She's inspired me to wear bright colors. She helped me get my start with online writing and always patiently answered my questions. I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors; she's helped to make HubPages the great place it is today.
For those who don't know, Simone is all over youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INz7BwekPJo is just one example. I'm guessing there are maybe a 100 more. @Simone. I find you to be quite advanced. As an example, I never could do public speaking, I've tried, but am just unable. You are also living life to the fullest. Keep doing that. In fact, I haven't posted this in awhile, so I shall do so again.
It is what I try to live by.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.- Ghaelachposted 10 years ago
0 I will miss her sweet quirkiness that made her so genuine and original, truly one-of-a-kind. In fact, she's so original that I could never figure out where she's from - California? Australia? Is she American? She just has a way with words and expression that I found to be all her own. Her energy will be missed in this cyberspace.

I think for me, it's the bow thing. I might have "bow withdrawals."
Oh Simone, so sorry to see you going. You've been great to deal with, have been an inspiration to newbies and you were always available when I needed to ask questions, your prompt responses were always welcome. That's no mean feat with our different time zones!
Good luck Simone, thanks for inspiring us all.
