My #BeReal guest today is Jeff Welch. One of the things I love about #BeReal is that I don’t censor anyone. I love the unique voices. Of course we are looking for the acceptance of positive and real behavior so I am selective about who I invite to write here. That is to say I…
Please welcome my #BeReal guest today, Ashlei Hawley. Hi and welcome all. 🙂 I am honored to do a guest posting here at HastyWord’s blog on her awesome #BeReal series. I’m all excited so let’s dive right into it. For me, to #BeReal is to be an advocate, a creator, a seeker, and a scholar.…

Pulls out my two cents to share… I want to teach my daughter to take care of herself. I don’t want her to have the false sense of security that some laws tend to create. Trust me… being a victim of date rape I want to teach my daughter how to stay safe. Don’t go…
My #BeReal guest today is Lisa Blair. It’s a simple enough question, I suppose, for most people. For me, whenever I am asked it, I can’t help feeling a little sad. Thinking about who I am reminds me of who I once was and all that I have been through. I am reminded of all…
