My guest today, Lisa A Listwa, was a high school teacher for fifteen years and she has a LOT of great things to say about this topic. I can’t even IMAGINE what being a teacher to teenagers is like. I am good with my ONE kiddo at home. Actually, who am I kidding? I can…
I am struggling to keep caught up with all the posts that have been sent in. I am so very grateful for all the contributions. When I started this project I was worried I would not have enough participation to fill the month. I WAS WRONG My guest today, Rachna Parmar, received so many emails…
My guest today, Nick Sanburg, is a blogger who caught my eye as I was thinking about doing this bully theme. My daughter and I have learned so much from reading all the different stories and perspectives so far this month. Of course, she is too young for some of the posts but they have…

Matthew Krause is very honest in this post and I think maybe he doesn’t realize the STRENGTH and POWER that he wields by choosing peace over violence. You can find more from Matt at StorytellerMatt.…
