Today’s guest is Jake with Routine Dreamer. I found him one day when I was trying to find a younger point of view. I loved his blog and the things he chose to write about. I love his attitude and his perspective. Truly an inspiring teen! BEING BULLIED IS NOT YOUR FAULT by Jake at…
I don’t have much of an introduction because Stephanie Yuhas says it all so much better. She is truly an inspiration and tells a powerful story about overcoming bullies by finding her own voice, and it is a very powerful voice indeed. I do want to include an excerpt from an interview she did for…
When best selling author Allie Burke sent me this post she gave me hope. Whether it is her character, personality, the way she was raised, or her attitude regarding life, Allie, has given us all hope that it is possible to live a bully free life. While there will always BE bullies I have to…

Not only is he a master with words he is way smarter than I am (and that isn’t me slamming myself…he is just that smart). He is often the first one I notice…
I get to showcase two incredibly talented people today. Lizzi with Considerings and Samara with SamaraSpeaks. Samara is showcased in this post in a round-a-bout way but I am crossing my fingers that one day she will write something for this blog directly. However, in the meantime you will see a glimpse of her as…
Do you ever read something you wish you had written? Something that stops your heart but then makes sure to restart it before it’s finished? I met Mandi very briefly not too long ago and she not only does that with her writing but she does it with her presence too. She is beautiful, the…
