I spend most of my day with children from ages three to five. They attend my pre-school and they keep me laughing, young and full of wonderment. They keep me grounded. I also enjoy writing and getting together with writing groups. I desire to continue learning until I leave this plane of existence. In spite of many challenges, I love life!

Do Not Take It Personally!

Do Not Take This Personally!

Do Not Take It Personally!

Do Not Take This Personally!

I repeat this over and over to myself.

I agree with Meg Ryan in the movie

"You've Got Mail"

"What does that mean?"

I need it defined for me.

I hear it all the time.

Does it give one permission

To say mean or cruel comments.

Does it excuse one from being rude and obnoxious?

As long as you repeat the mantra over and over,

"Do Not Take It Personally?"

How am I suppose to feel?

What do you think?

...is this about what Kimmy said to you on the phone? Or is this about another incident? More specifics might help us feel you.

Feeling your pain Angelina. I have been receiving nasty messages on my blog...that are very hurtful. Ask yourself what is the truth here? Then forget about it if it isn't truth and you did the best you could. You are such an amazingly kind, compassionate, caring woman. Anyone who can't see that is BLIND!
Keep writing.
