It's Not Goodbye, Really.

My sincerest sympathies. I hope you find your balance as soon as it's right to do so.

Hugs,
Bill

Honey, I'm stunned and sad.
I can't imagine how you must feel.
Just hold this truth, YOU ARE LOVED.

I wrap my arms around you in the biggest hug yet.

Love, Ladybear

I wish you find a better employment soon.  Take care.
love and blessings and hugs,
samme

I know how much it hurts to lose a job that you love.  My heart goes out to you. I wish you all the best.

((((((K)))))) Been there K. You are valuable, passionate, and a contributor! You will emerge I have no doubt. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Showering You In Loving Vibes!
Ben

Ms.Caprikell:

I am terribly saddened to hear you have been laid off. I moved half way across the country twice fhen my husband took a job and he was let go within two weeks of moving. Moved on our own dime.

I remember when you got the position! I know how hard you worked to attain it, and how much it meant to you.

Please know I am in your corner and disturbed to hear this news. Wishing you the ability to manifest another fitting career situation instantly, for the highest good of all concerned.

 Thank you for your continued love and work to keep this community intact since the sale of zaadz to Gaia.

Blessings to you,

Aley

Oh, Kelly. I'm so sorry. I've hardly had time to process the past two days myself; I can't imagine what you must be feeling. Here's me adding to the love and gratitude and support in this thread.

Wow, Kelly.  I'm stunned.

I'm very sad to hear this.

Bless you.

Kelly – thinking of you. Hope you got my tweet. Sending you best thoughts. xoxo. - m.

The best things about the worst times are the love and support and caring and hugging that our family and friends share with us, holding a sacred space for us to heal and grow. You have a huge family here dear goddess who are creating a special place for you in their hearts and around you so that you will be protected as you flow with the current.

Thank you for letting us know Kelly. And Ladybear thank you for giving me the heads up.

You got to be a part of Brilliant Bri's dream. And look at all the keeeewl peeps you can call friend now.

What can I do for you sister?

You are on the right track. Stand in your power and be all you are, and more…and shine as the star you are.

Sending a box of tissues, warm, loving, furry hugs, and a basket of magical sparkles

btw…I have walked in similar shoes…I had to walk into the fire before I came onto my brand new path.

Thank you very much for everything you've done here…the visible on-line stuff and the behind-the-scenes work too.  I greatly appreciate you.  I know the visible stuff will continue, eventually.  We'll hold the space in the meantime.  Knowing you it won't be long…  ; )

You will be fine.  You will navigate this…one breath at a time.  And you already know this too. 

You have my number, call if you need to and next time you're in LA dinner's on me.

You are LOVED…                                 GODSPEED

Love One Another

Kelly, you are a beautiful person and I am so glad to know you. I am so sorry. Let me know if I can help you in some way. I admire your openness and your kind heart. And, I know you are strong and am inspired by you calling on yourself to be a creator.

Thank you for being beautiful.

i will share with you the words of wisdom, love and support that i got from our dear friend (you-know-who) when i was laid off back in april:

“I'm so happy for you!! Welcome to uncertainty… the land of unlimited possibility!!”

i understand the disorienting feeling of being laid off (4 times in 8 years… i'm a pro!).  just focus on all the ways in which you've created success in your life - you're sure to do it again.  why put your dreams and passions on the back burner?  why not turn them into your perfect job?

sometimes when we aren't walking our authentic path, the universe gives us a swift kick in the ass… may i suggest you take a breather, try and take a step back and look at the big picture… maybe your next step is something very different than what you've been doing.  just throwing out possibiities.

the friends you made at zaadz/gaia will always be your friends… it just may take a little more effort to see them!  but maybe it will make the time together that much sweeter.

you know i'm here if you need to vent or anything else…

much love to you,
fenix.

Hey, Kell - have been trying to find you on messenger - sorry, just trying to get caught up with everything…

Miss you already. 

With so much talent and passion I don't think you will be a free agent for long but I'm sorry to hear that you are no longer with us in full capacity. I wish you the best. Please keep in touch on any of the dozens of social networking we're connected on.

Changed my status to a crying ~Matthew, because that's what I've been doing for the past couple of days, ever since I heard of this news that four of my dear friends (family, really) were let go from Gaiam.  I miss you.

I want to say something wise or insightful but all i can think of is how sad it is right this moment ,reading your words,and wishing I could scoop you up into my arms like I do with my daughter or son when the world makes them sad….but it doesn't work that way.
Instead I want you to know that your intelligence,beauty,energy,has made this place so unique. Thank you for this.

Its hard to be insightful with mixed emotions.  I send you gratitude and commend you for all your have done for us.  Please blog for us the new journey and hitch your wagon to the star to get to the treetops.  Just know one thing–everything will turn out all right.  Thanks for all the help you've brought to Gaia.

Instead I want you to know that your intelligence,beauty,energy,has made this place so unique. Thank you for this.

Yes, and yes, and yes, and you, I know, will continue to do so, and you'll continue to be a part of this, wherever you travel in the world and whatever rooms you end up gracing next.

ok kelly i read it….. feeling ur words n sending energy…  love u ^.^

sending love, hugs and knowing you will be flying high dear one…

blessings love and peace..

Love

Hi Kelly.  I wanted to reply yesterday when I read your blog and honestly did not have the words.  I wasn't sure how to feel. I have mentioned to you before that I regret not creating the oportunity to meet you when you were in L.A.  If I remember correctly you were one of my first friend requests back in the Zaadz days. I know that whatever is meant to come your way will be beautiful, bountiful, and just the right thing for you at just the right moment.  I see change all around and know in my heart that this change will be a good one for you!

Your integrity and Love will take you far and wide.  Now there is room for expansion, more to integrate.

With Love,

Doug

Hi ~K

First off, let me say Thank You!  Thank you for being one of the most authentic, beautiful, creative and cool person I know.  Thank you for all the work you have put in, helping mold this place I love.   

I remember being so happy for you when I found out they brought you in.  Doesn't seem that long ago now, and it really wasn't.  I'm still a little stunned by this news.  I wish you all the best in the days to come.  Challenging they may be, but stronger they will make you.  Yes take all the time for yourself you need, but please don't stay away long.  I'll be waiting for and missing you.  I really hope you can find a great job so you can stay in Boulder.

Any time you want to talk or vent, I'm just a phone call away.  Nor am I far.  I'm always looking for a reason to come visit Boulder.
Great GREAT Big Hug! 
love,
John

So Stunned…. So Sad…. So unsure on what to say & feel, there is much to process.   I send you my love, encouragement and support to you in this moment.  You are a beautiful authentic person, Kelly.   I extend my hand & heart in support in whatever way is needed for you.

Much Love,
Lisa

K, again, this is the perfect chance to work towards those dreams you have been having on backburner. I know you know what to do. I'm here for ya.

Much love

Thonking myself on the head … I just now grasped on to who “Kelly” was (just always thinking of your as Ms.Capri!, then Kelly).  Lovey - big, big bear hugs.  Go ahead and cry and don't worry about finding the right words here and now.  I'd be a whole lot less eloquent then you were!  Love your pink hair.  Love you.  Hate what is happening at this moment to you but looking forward to some day hearing about how great it all turned out! 

Go PINK!  All My Love & Positive Thoughts,  Ayla

Holding you in the highest Love & Light

Many are finding themselves being pushed a bit by the Universe to honor their Spirit's Path. You're very intuitive perhaps this is just the nudge you need to use your abilities away from the Accounting Realm?  :-)

I am so sorry to hear about the layoffs, Kelly… you have my deepest sympathies.

Some years ago, I quit teaching to work for a publishing company in what some would have considered a “dream job.” My family and I moved 2,000 miles to Atlanta, only to be laid off six months later.  It's been quite a while now since that happened, and while it seemed a near disaster at the time, in retrospect, it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me… I returned to teaching and though life was difficult for several months after I was laid off, I ended up exactly where I needed to be when I needed to be there.

You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I will be wishing nothing but the best for you.

~Todd

Kelly,

I'm a “newbie” here in Gaia, and I did not even know that it was something that someone could get laid-off from. But that means there are real people in this community. And those real people can experience real troubles.

I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you. As a repeat “lay-off-ee,” I know the pain of this situation way too much. It must be even more difficult when you lose something that your heart was really into. For me, all I lost were jobs.

Your wisdom and enlightenment will strongly support you in your search for empowering work. I enjoy reading your posts, and from them I can tell that you won't fall into the nobody-wants-me–I'm-all-washed-up despair that I have fallen into many times.

I hope that you will remain active in this community. I'm sending positive energy and wishing you well…
Peace,
Mike

I know you are shocked and dismayed now; remember to keep breathing and focus on the nuance of the present moment.  Gradually, you will move from the loss to hope and fresh goals. 

When I got the email that you'd posted, I immediately thought about losses of my own, and how they have affected me in my life path.  We have to experience grief, and we do it in our own way, on our own schedule, with nuances based on the experience itself.  I hope you feel safe to grieve and find your peace easily.

Blessings,
Ro

Well I'm not sad, I'm actually very happy for you. Sometimes blessings are so big, that when they come, they break all the windows (Coehlo). The best things in life start like this.
Go ahead and feel however it is that you are feeling right now, but when the time comes, when nobody is watching perhaps, and a small smile out-of-nowhere starts to make its way into your face, write with your fingers on a misty window: I.wont.return.my.laptop.

Cheer up! Everything is fine, just remember your own knowledge, buckle up and move on.

Don't let the bastards get you down.  You rock.  They don't.

I am sorry to hear this news, I hope you are doing well and swimming upstream.
I hate to hear that the sale of zaadz has ended up in the hands of yet another “I'm sorry it's the bottom line, not you” company.
It sucks.
Suck it Gaiam.

I'm sick of corperate america.

Suck it corperate America.

I'm sick of lay off's for the bottom line.

Suck it soulless lay offs.

I love you however, if you need me, you know where I am.
