Hey everyone...Let me just start by saying THANK YOU ALL, for your support!! I have not had the time to be on MySpace that much...BUT I have been trying to get on here to approve pending friend requests and catch up on e-mails & comments. Sorry it is taking me so long!! All of my pending friend requests from 3/12 through now were deleted by MySpace (if you do not approve them within a certain number of days, they get deleted) so...please please please re-send and you should be approved automatically. Again, thank you all so much for taking the time to send me a bit of strength and inspiration via email or comment, your words have touched me and I thank you for that...with all my heart, I love you guys!!! :) ...and to all the not so kind words...I love you too, because it makes me push myself and want it even more. "Hard times don't last...only strong people".

Inspirational mail from you all...(here are SOME that really stood out, some made me laugh, some made me cry, some just made me stop for a bit and think...but they all made me smile)...Thank-You again. ps. no last names are included below so you will know if it is your story, but the rest of the world will not know it is you. :)
"When you are destined to be a star, life has a way of taking you there...even when it doesn't at first appear to be a good thing."
"Regardless of your decision, always remember: others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself. Greatness comes not when things go always good for you, but the greatness comes and you are really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes, because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.
My very best wishes to you,
Secret Agent Man :-)"

"Hey Ashley......Well I guess it would be a miracle for you to sift through your thousands of emails and find this one. Girlfriend you keep rockin and continue to climb that ladder of success. I know the media is driving you nuts, but keep the head high and positive. Always continue to follow your dream and don't settle for less. I am from North Carolina in the Charlotte area and have some great contacts down here as well as Los Angeles. So if you find that needle in the haystack...as in my email, give me a shout. Hope is all well with you and hope to hear from you soon! From one musician to another.....rock on baby!!! Kevin Drummer (rockafellas) Charlotte, NC "

"Dear Ashley Dupre
You dont know me, and I dont know you. However, I admire how you did not let this 'dirty laundry' and the media game stop you from showing the world that you are a muti-dimensional human being, and an artist. Words and song are my passion, and I find my greatest liberation when truth is enabled to speak from the heart. "All people have their stories safely hidden with in closed books". I think most people have done things, or things have been done to them which they would only tell a therapist- and maybe not even then would they speak , and let the truth set them free.
***
I wish:
for you to be strong...be clear...
Ride it out and WRITE it out...
Speak or sing your truth!!!
Be you!
Peace be with you,
Ahda"

"A poem I wrote for myself a while back, or was it for you?
Life We work all day then go to sleep
We laugh and cry and sometimes weep
We fight and love every day
We fight for love in every way
We do this to feel less alone
We do this until we're shown
That though we breathe, drink, feel and see
Our course is set, can we alter it but a degree
With hope with faith we face each day
Even with denial and anger we try to sway
But our path is set we cannot change the course
Even knowing we're wrong we deny the source
Remember this when you try to understand
When you feel overwhelmed by the creator's grand plan
Though every one of your days may be filled with strife
Be thankful and accept this very unique gift, Life
Harold B...

"Just wanted to say keep you head up! Everyone always has something to say but you know what you continue to live your life everyday and be content! Don't let anyone disrespect you or shame you. You are beautiful and I know how it feels for people to talk when they don't even know you. Stay strong and never let anyone doubt yourself.
xoxo Lucy"

"Thanks for adding me... I saw the media having a field day with you when all of the craziness was going on. I hope you are doing well, and are happy and at peace. I hope you get to do more with your music, or what ever you enjoy doing. Don't let the people with the negativity bring you down. Love is all around you. Even though it might not seem like that sometimes. I was really happy to see you among the friends on my list. Have a great weekend. Mike"

"Just wanted to say thanks for adding us! I also wanted to just tell you that I read your about me section earlier today when I added you...I know I don't know you for shit, and I normally would not share anything personal with a complete stranger, but for some reason I felt I had too...What you have about your life to date on your page really hit home with me...I can totally relate...Was abused as a kid, left home when I turned 17, and never looked back....Had drug problems in the past(no longer for a long time now).....I guess we all go thru hardships in life, some of us worse than others...I wanted to say that I'm glad you were able to overcome the hard times, and come out alive.....Too many are unfortunate, and never get themselves out......Anyhow,...just wanted to stop by, and tell you thanks.....After reading your page, it made me realize how proud I am of myself,.....ANd you should be proud of yourself as well......Sorry for talkin your ear off,....but for some reason I felt the urge to contact you....I feel better now! lol...Take care....F...ADS"

"You are like that sweet pretty wild flower that grows up through the crack in a side walk...surrounded by crazy hard difficult environments yet you still manage to bloom beautifully. When I first read your history and learned of your experiences I was possitive that you will come out ahead with a bright future. I don't know you but very few could withstand what you have and that takes a unique and resilient person. Take care sweet girl. Wishing you the best from Cali. Love your song by the way, almost added it to my page but wasn't sure if that was gay or not, hehe"

"You just became part of history, enjoy the ride! Nowadays you should be applauded for helping to expose hypocrisies in our society, don't take any shit."
