Bullying is hurting our children and we can all do something about it. We realize our children are watching and listening to bullies on TV, in schools and neighborhoods. Recently, I spoke at Desert Foothills Library in Arizona about my writing the Mystic Bay Series and my memoir Special Needs Children The Angels On My Shoulder. All my books include thwarting bullying as a theme.

A wonderful family came late to hear my talk. As I sat with them after the others had left telling them about the books, the mother stated, “The Archangel Michael sent our family to hear you speak about angels.” She told me she wants to write about angels and I encouraged her to keep her dream of writing alive. Then my daughter called. Our grandson is learning a most valuable lesson in his kindergarten. The teacher’s lesson is Fill your bucket with kindness? Isn’t that a wonderful message for young ones to learn? Kindness is healing. We can reach our children by being true examples of kindness ourselves. Bullying never wins. Let’s ask the angels to help us. I’m sure they’ll listen.
