Bullying happens at some point to all of us either in person or on social media. When very personal unkind questions were posed to me the other day,  I didn’t hesitate. For long ago I realized the gift of love, forgiveness and carrying on.

As I write in my novels and blogs the bully is the ultimate sad character. He or she never wins while only trying to feel superior  by hurting others.

Recently, one of my children told me of a friend who said racist remarks about another. “How sad,” I said. “I’m so happy you have grown up to be a kind loving person.”

The other day I turned a bullying comment away myself by ignoring the intrusive negative comment and moving on to a positive yet vague comment of my own with no personal information given.

Today in our world, I believe there’s a spiritual awakening and only love can mend us all. Loving yourself and others is the only armor anyone needs to counteract any cruelty. The angels have been with me on Tuesdays and everyday all my wonderful grateful life.
