AM I THE BULLY, HERE?

I am going to be a bit vulnerable today before I introduce today’s guest.  Her post inspired me to do some of own internal reflecting. I am just now getting back into the swing of working out again.  I could work out at home, and do on occasion, but I hate it.  There is really…

BEING BULLIED IS NOT YOUR FAULT

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…

FROM BULLIES TO BUSINESS

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…

BECOMING ROBOTS

MIND OVER MOUTH

So…. I am a big girl. When I say that I don’t mean I am wearing my big girl panties. I don’t mean I am tall and thick. I mean I am 5’3″ and 195 lbs. I am also old and the pounds I have fought my entire life to lose are sticking to me…
