Dedicated to anyone.....


who has ever been bullied, picked on or purposely excluded.
To anyone who has been made to suffer by other people, who, for whatever reason decide that YOU are on their hit list.
Some people seem to take immense pleasure in upsetting, controlling or manipulating others.

Well, you know what?

Let 'em get on with it.

And while they're having fun scheming, bitching or whatever....have a seat here with me, next to the fire.



Look, it's gone six, let's open a bottle of wine and have a glass, or two...



Never change yourself for others.
It's o.k. to try on other peoples opinions now and then, but don't lose sight of your own.
It's your life, make sure you live it your way.

Here are some quiet corners...enjoy!

I love the cat, does he/she belong to you? I really do not like to see bullying in any shape or form, fortunately I have never been subjected to it, I hope you haven't. I go through life just being myself, it is the best way. It looks like that teddy has found himself a quiet corner in your cosy abode. x

Great sentiments with bullies.. they can all go take a long walk off, a short pier in my opinion!

Erica,
I hope you had a nice Christmas and that you are feeling well. We've missed you lately. (Your mice were my daughter's inspiration to make some little felt things.)
We've just had a bully at our house! See, they're everywhere; but just ignore them and their spiteful, petty ways.
Hugs, Laura at Amongst The Oaks

Hello Erica... true words indeed :) If you stood out as a kid and didn't fit in .. then you will stand out as an adult in your life too ... and that's wonderful isn't it?
Happy new year in your cosy nook
