“True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable”

David Tyson Gentry

Today is a special day, it’s my wonderful wife Virginia’s birthday, I wrote a blog back on June 14th for my son’s birthday and I referenced “Happy Thoughts”.  Well my wife Ginny, Gin or Hon which is a few of the endearing nick names I call her is the highlight of my life, she is my ultimate “Happy Thought”, she is my best friend.  We have been through good and bad, happy and sad and through it all she has helped me in ways that I could not even begin to explain.  She is my whole world and I couldn’t imagine a single day without her. She is kind, compassionate, loving and honest to a flaw.  Well, I could go on and on and never touch on how wonderful Ginny really is, but one thing is for sure, I’m the luckiest man in the world to have a wife, companion, confidante, lover and best friend like Ginny.  She is such a very special person and anyone that has had the opportunity of crossing her path in their lifetime can say they’ve been touch by grace.

I LOVE YOU GIN

“Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.”

Oprah Winfrey

It’s the start of another new year and I must say, the stroke of midnight was as anticlimactic as it possibly could have of been.  This past year for my wife and I has been somewhat of what most would say a nightmare, the hope of a better year lies before us, the hope of a better life is my dream or dare I say my goal.  I have many things I would like to accomplish before I leave this mortal existence, but the clock is ticking ever so fast and it seems like Read the rest of this entry »

“I am the punishment of God…If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

Genghis Khan  (1162 – 1227)

Once again life has taken me away from my writing, originally I had planned on posting at least twice a week, but as I said, life has sidetracked me once again.  My last post was at the end of June but I’m back once more.  As you already know due to the title I am once again focusing on the topic of bullies.  I really wish I did not feel I had to write about these gutless cowards but they must be exposed so the world can see them for what they really are.  I can’t use there names at this point but they know who they are and so does everyone else.  In my previous post about bullies, “Bullies Part I” I spoke of a person very dear to me, her name is Gwen.

“The practice of forgiveness is our most important
contribution to the healing of the world.”

Marianne Williamson

It has taken me a few days to decide how I would approach the subject of the life and death of Michael Jackson.  First I would like to send my condolences to Michael’s family, friends and fans.  I was once a fan of Michaels, I was a fan of the Michael that graced us in the 70’s and 80’s, not the Michael who left us this past Thursday.   When I heard about his death I wasn’t totally surprised, it seemed to me the way his life had Read the rest of this entry »

“Bullies are always cowards at heart and may be credited with a pretty safe instinct in scenting their prey.”

Anna Julia Cooper  (1858 – 1964)

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.”

Harvey S. Firestone  (1868 – 1938)

Bul-ly  [bool-ee] -noun

– a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.

Bullies, I don’t even know where to begin, this subject brings out the worst in me, or the best in me, depending on how I am feeling at the present time.  If I am in the “Light” as you might say, I try to let my feelings of hatred and anger go by the wayside, which can be very frustrating.  But if I’m, as it is referred to, on the “Dark Side” I will let my feelings grow into a Read the rest of this entry »
