Tuesdays With The Angels-Resilience & Joy vs Bullying

Posted on by

Resilience means  The capacity or withstand or recover quickly from difficulties ;toughness .

Today in our world and our country when bullying has meant most of the US citizens are scared, many to speak out I, as an author, am not afraid. The first amendment clearly stated  Freedom of Speech to be the primary important part of living in our democracy.

I am not afraid of anything. I’ve lived a full life with many sorrows but mostly with many joys. Resilience is my strength. Finding joy by helping our own families but by helping those in need in our country and around the world, will help thwart the bullying that has erupted.

Finding calm in a storm by prayer, positive healing thoughts, speaking out against cruelty and loving each other will help us all. I don’t know the anwers to everything but I do know this. When my daughter Kate, passed away, and I felt guilt that I could not save her, I somehow with help from above found the resilience to keep going for my teenage children, my family and students. I had to grow as a human being with God’s gift of kindness and love to show those around me and those I will never meet my kindness. As a saying goes ‘Fear is at the door but faith answers it’.

My father and my father-in-law fought in the second world war to defend democracy and the spread of evil. The bully of today will never find peace or joy by hurting others with racism and bigotry.

 Hurting others can never bring joy. It will only hurt the soul of the bully. I write books about angels with the themes ‘Love always wins’ and ‘The bully never does win in the end’. Sometimes a bully can change. So I ask God and the angels to help the bully see the light of love and joy.  Nurturing your soul towards loving kindness is the way to happiness and to live the gift of our precious life.

Tuesdays With The Angels-Threads of Love vs. Bullying

Posted on by

Many of us have been bullied as children or adults. We remember it don’t we? What we remember mostly is the love for us that is never ending from family, friends or a just from a moment of kindness from a stranger. Threads of love are here to stay. They can’t ever be destroyed by hate and are stronger than bursts of anger and fear which are the characteristics of bullying.  

  The thread of love is impenetrable.  Love is the winner in most of the films and shows we view like the films of superheroes who not only have  brawn but might,  the strength of love in their souls. There are millions of people who are superheroes to their families, their friends, their jobs, their constituents. Their might is made of love threads. If we only can recognize the superhero in ourselves. Bullies don’t have superhero qualities. They don’t  choose love over revenge, jealousy or hate.

What we, who fight hate in the world, can do is to just keep building upon our love for our fellowman, those less fortunate, those in need wherever in our world. Working together is a love thread for someone or something other than ourselves.

We need to be voting for people in our government positions who care about people and their families, their futures, applauding  goodness like  the superheroes on the screen. Humanity is humans being kind to other humans in spite of our different races, religions and creeds. 

In reality there is no place for the bully in society. For  bullying is synonamous with hate. But bullies can change if they really want to. What will it take? Will they learn from those of us who believe in fairness, love and kindness? Hope is always possible. I obviously believe in angels and write about love and bullying in my books. The bully always changes as I write. So I ask with a heart full of hope that all  bullies change somehow after an incident of kindness someone has done for them.

People who are role models of goodness can spark an idea, do a good deed or do something that might turn the bully’s head around.  The love thread is unbreakable.  I can almost hear the angels whisper to me in my mind, ” Love is forever triumphant. Nothing is impossible with love at the helm.”

Tuesdays With The Angels-Kindness vs Bully

The more intelligent a person is, the more he discovers kindness in others”  Leo Tolstoy

In all my Mystic Bay books there is a theme where the bully is thwarted but has an awakening of sorts, a change for the better.

The theme of kindness to others, human and animal is always present in my books. In these times where bullying has been seen as part of the norm in the political world, there is still hope. For there is a spiritual awakening for many of us.

In my new book I’m writing in the Mystic Bay Series, a child is bullied and Angel Ken, and characters Gayle and Alex help change his life. Angel stories will abound in the town and the outcome will be one of love and goodwill. There is always a twist at the end of each novella, an ending of love and reflection for the reader. 

In our reality now, bullies of the world need an avenue to understand the power  kindness has for us all to hang on too. Kindness and love are the most important ingredients for a good life. Parents and adults modeling kindness to children will have profound outcomes for these future adults. Everyday,  I ask the angels to help me in my writing about angels and in my own life’s journey as a mom and grandmother. I see the results and what comes always is a pathway to joyfulness.
