You know who the bully hurts? Our children, the most vulnerable in our society. Many lives of children are suffering because of the bullying in the schoolyards, the bullies in the neighborhood and as they see it play out in the media. Recently, I purchased a t-shirt that is for kids and adults. It says Everyone Is Welcome Here.
In my seven Mystic Bay Series of novellas, and memoir, Special Needs Children The Angels on My Shoulder, bullying is always one of the main themes. Why?Because bullying has to be taken to task in our society. Teaching about bullying begins at home and in school. Teaching kindness and how to be kind is our great opportunity to change the world.
Every one of us may have been bullied in our young lives or as adults and there is such a need to teach the children how to overcome being bullied and how bullying hurts. We can teach kids to walk away, tell parents or adults like their teacher, bus driver or family member if somebody has bullied them. Talk to your kids about bullying.
An important lesson for our kids is to explain to them how kindness helps us grow into loving adults and how helping others helps ourselves grow up to be kind. Being kind can spread love around the world. It is more powerful than hate.
I’ve writen books that have won awards, I think mainly because of the themes of love, forgiveness, redemption and thwarting bullies. In my next Mystic Bay novella due to be released in 2026, bullying will once more be a theme. I love to write and the angels inspire me to realize my potential to get themes of love and hope out into the world. It is my belief that any one can change if they want to.
I ask the angels everyday to give me inspiration and they always come through. Phrases of hope, love and working through problems come to mind in my writng, creating good outcomes. Through educating our children by helping them solve problems and through our role modeling these traits in our lives , love and kindness will win against bullying. Kindness is inherent but can be learned. Being kind never leaves you. Kindness Crossing and Everyone Is Welcome Here are signs I love for kindness is forever, a gift from above.
