Hey All.....it's me......Bonnie..............and heck......it hasn't even been a month since my 'farewell'.   Oh shoooosh!   I can hear the groans from over here.

;)

Today I tried to rejoin the site in order to add my expressed support for Nicolas during his troubling times.  But I couldn't!  The site must have taken the opportunity to kick my tush to the curb when I left last month because it won't give me a 'verification code' to finalize rejoining the site.  Well.....it's either the site that is doing it or the cosmos....which come to think of it might be trying to tell me to stay OFF the site and keep on my path of change!   Who knows, eh???

But.......I found a way around it all..............I asked our sweet Mara to post this to all of you and especially to Nicolas....

Clever, ain't I?   LOL!

Anyhooo.....seriously......first up........I hope this post finds all of you happy, healthy and wiser than when I left ya's.  I miss all of you terribly but I've been busy as heck changing around my life.  You'll be happy to hear that I am in the running for a job right now.  I should know sometime in the next week whether I've landed it and from there I'll have to decide if it's what I want or if I want to keep looking.   The job itself is right up my alley....it's just that it depends on what location I would have to work out of.  If it's too far from home it won't make sense for me to take it, ya know?    Anyway....I am babbling.

So here goes........the real reason I'm yakking away again......here on the Cagefactor forum........

I seriously had no intention of showing back up here for a very long time but, like all of you, I've heard about Nic's troubles with his finances....from his having to put virtually every one of his properties on the market.... to having liens places on a couple of them for unpaid taxes.....and now to his suing his Finance/Business manager for getting his finances in such a mess and well.............I just want to say that I hope he can weather this storm with positive thoughts, actions and deeds.

It won't be easy for him to win a lawsuit of such magnitude as Nic has said himself in the past that he likes to spend his money as fast as it comes in and he'll have to now prove otherwise.  His whole life may become public with this lawsuit....and that would be a most uncomfortable place to be for anyone.

The thing is.....he must have a great deal of evidence.....(hopefully a truckload of a paperwork trail pointing to the bad management found by and gone thru with a fine toothed comb by his new finance management company).....in order to have obtained such high powered attorneys ready to fight for him in court.

Ya know.....for most of us......we're probably having a hard time understanding how things could have gotten so bad so fast for Nic.  But.....if ya look at it....on a lesser scale, we probably all know someone by now who is veering very close to the financial edge simply because of the hard economic times that have hit the entire world.  So....in essence.....it's pretty much the same thing.....even for multimillionaires like Nic.   Nic is no different than the factory worker in that....it doesn't take much to fall pretty far.

His troubling times, however, because of his public persona, are being plastered all over the papers and the internet and sadly.......nasty individuals tend to like to go in for the kill against celebrities.....it's all a part of the job, I guess.   BUT, by no means a fair one.   I just hope that Nic has the personal strength to stand up straight and firm, eyes forward and be able to deal with the idiots who for perverse pleasure, just want to get their licks in.

In truth, Nic should ALWAYS be proud of what he has accomplished in his professional life.  He was a public school kid from a broken family who dropped out of High School and look what he has done with his life....all that he has achieved!!!!   Simply amazing!   It's sad that he has to 'weather' this storm.....but I have absolutely no doubt that he WILL weather it and in the end COME OUT ON TOP again!

Ya know.....sometimes people are handed trying times like this in order to learn a needed lesson or to remind them of what is truly important in life.   Whatever the case may be for Nic, I sincerely hope that he knows and FEELS the support of his true fans and that it, somehow, in some small way.......makes a difference for him.

I, for one, have always been and always will be, PROUD of such an amazingly talented man.   Godspeed Nic..........Godspeed!
