Stop bullying:: Wear Purple

I know this is 2 days late but I wanted to post it anyway. I stand against bullying. It breaks my heart when I hear the news that another teenager had cut his life short.
As a  child I was bullied a lot in High school because I was too skinny ,  I was not in the popular group, I was the quiet one that they would pickup on , the one with the glasses the ugly duckling. It was a time in my life where I had to be strong cause showing that hurts would fuel the bullies to continue. I am so glad that is over. I am a stronger person, a much happier person and I have learn to not let others tear me down with words. But I am glad that there is contact lens though.

                                                   This is me and my friend J wearing purple.

I think this taught me a lesson too, to look at others and appreciate their individuality and their beauty and to be respectful of people around me wheter they are poor or rich, black or white, or speak a different language.
We should respect others no matter how they live their lives. They too are human beings like us,  we may not not accept certain lifestyles but that does not give us power to call them names,  disrespect them and drag them to a point that they see no way out.
I have had many talks with my children about name calling, we have talked on  how we should respect  other people their religion ,race, culture, the color of their skin and more.And what they should do when other kids call them names.

I wanted to say if you are a victim of bully and you a reading this post know that you are not alone, please do not harm yourself do not end your life because you are tired of it. You are stronger than you think  and you can face this and eventually the bullying will stop, seek help by talking to a  counselor or a friend who understands you. Change is on it's way.

Not showing my Valium face

I am sorry but my face is not worth showing, so no look of today. I took some valium to help me calm myself down before I go to the dentist I feel like a train went over my body. Everything went fine and it went quick. I have always had a fear of the dentist. It is not even the injection is the sound that the computer makes when the fluid is going through the injection "it sound weird I know". I am going to leave you with some pictures I took of my recent creations, these will be listed later in my Etsy shop.

 

Wednesday: Rouge makes me feel sassy.

I am always on the lookout for spots for taking pictures, this time I did not go far. During this little shoot we saw someone walking that told us to watch out for a fox. I thought to myself her accent is so familiar , so I asked her "r you dutch" and yes she is dutch so we stood there for 45 minutes speaking in dutch about our lives here in the United States. The world is indeed small. How is your Wednesday so far? We had on and off bits of rain, but overall it's a warm and gorgeous day. Have a great day guys.

Beautiful day calls in for some tea on the square. Take time to enjoy your friends, sit back relax and sip a good cup of hot tea. These past week we have been blessed with beautiful sunny weather here in Georgia, I tried to make the best of it, by going out and just sitting outside with a book or catch up with friends over a skinny latte.  The rain is lurking, hope it does not linger to long here.
Have a great Tuesday guys.
