It seems like every­where you look: on the news, online, even in your own neigh­bor­hood — every­one is talk­ing about issues with bul­lies. Gone are the days when Lit­tle John­nie and Ornery Mike meet behind the school to duke out their issues. Now we’re deal­ing with kids that shoot each other. It’s bone chill­ing. How­ever, kids are obvi­ously not the only one’s deal­ing with bul­lies. I’ve actu­ally wit­nessed some seri­ously nasty tweets between moth­ers. I was embar­rassed for them just read­ing it!

The bot­tom line is this: Once you hit ‘Send’ it’s gone…there’s no get­ting those words back. Period. If emails can come across wrong because you don’t HEAR the per­son, can you imag­ine what can come across in a few, quickly typed out, sentences?

Your words are so choice, so tasty;
I pre­fer them to the best home cook­ing.
–Psalms 119:103 (The Mes­sage — cracks me up!)

“You can catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar.”

Most peo­ple crave pos­i­tive words of encour­age­ment. So be the one to start it.

Just as there are trolls in the blog­ging world, there are nim­rods in the social media realm as a whole. There is no help for those peo­ple. The good thing about most social media sites, you can do more than just ignore them. You can actu­ally block or delete them from your list. (Mwahahaha!!!)

**Side­note, just for fun…
