My guest today, Lisa Sadikman, wrote this piece for Scary Mommy and I am honored they are allowing me to include it in this BULLY series. This is a great post on the importance of learning to build each other up in a society that is really good at tearing each other down. Raising…
I love the perspective, The Red Headed Authoress, shares with us today. This girl was all smiles when I met her, so really, I wasn’t surprised to get such a wonderful contribution from her. Please give her the warmest of welcomes and check out her website and say hello! Be a Clown By The Red…
As promised earlier today here is my friend Lizzi with her bully post. Her story serves as a reminder of how important our jobs are as guardians and the village as a whole. We can’t protect our children from all the bad things that can and will happen but we can do our best to…
Today I am very happy to host my closest friend Lizzi and her blog post on bullying. BUT FIRST… I want to start your day with a poem we wrote several weeks back. I saved it because I love the message and feel it represents a wonderfully compassionate attitude. We all have moments when we need…

Bullying comes in an endless variety of forms born of limitless circumstances. We all need the…
I am very happy to share this final post on compassion. At the beginning of February a few good friends started the #1000speak initiative and more than a 1000 voices rang loud and proud on February 20th with their viewpoints. I am very thankful for them and for all of my guest bloggers this month.…
