I'll be honest- I almost lost my daughter.
I'm turning my rage, sadness, and grief into a channel for good. I'm on a journey and writing is the only outlet I have for everything I'm feeling and going through right now. I'm starting a new blog that you can find listed under my profile called Bully Intervention Central and I would love your support. My goal is to write a series of children's books to help reach those like my daughter who are too afraid to speak up and end the bullying.
Back to writing I go-
Best of luck with your campaign!

Thank you!
DeleteOh, I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. I either write a lot or not at all when I'm going through a tough time. I'm glad you found a way to channel this into your writing--and something to help others.
ReplyDeleteThanks- I'm an all or nothing person too. I have a lot of steam right now that I have to channel into something.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear your daughter has experienced bullying, and I hope things have settled down now. It's such a destructive thing but I'm glad you have turned it into something positive that will help others. Good luck with your series!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can make a difference. Thanks for your support.
DeleteRose, that's terrible! Use your anger to help others. Write those books and make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been to hell and back- okay, maybe I'm not quite back yet, but I'm fighting to put the pieces of our lives back together.
DeleteThanks, as always for your support.
I think bullying creeps into adult lives too.
ReplyDeleteFor sure. In fact, I'm dealing with one at work right now.
DeleteA hundred years ago when I was young, I was physically and emotionally bullied by schoolmates and members of my family. My life was threatened, and came close to being killed once. I'm not sure why exactly it didn't crush me. I had an outlet for one thing - my love of a horse. And living on a farm required a lot of physical work. I didn't have time to mope around and wallow in self-pity. I grew up and left those dark days in the past. Sometimes I'm grateful for those early lessons. I became strong willed, and compassionate. And I know I can survive anything. Blessings to you and your dear family.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Terrible things are going on in this world and it's good to hear stories of survival. We have always lived in the city but deep down I wished we were on a farm- away from people and surrounded by animals. For awhile I was volunteering on a horse ranch and I miss the hard work and being dirty. Maybe someday. . .
DeleteGod Bless...bullying is absolutely horrible. Through your writing healing will occur for you and your family and as well as others.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We are slowly beginning to heal, but it will be a long road.
DeleteSorry to hear about your situation. Hope things are better now.
