Bullying is not just for kids...

Jealousy is a deadly weapon.  It would seem that the success of a person may intimidate some and cause them to attack the very hand that has brought the the things they wanted. Maybe it is the stress we are all under but there comes a time when enough is enough. Bullying is alive and well in the most unlikely places.

Interesting that hard work may not always pay off - there is a reason people are less than willing to step up and actually do something. There is always someone who wants what you have and doesn't have the courage to build something, they only know how to throw stones and in this case at the wrong target.

Interesting that there is a wonderful group of people just waiting for a chance to be part of something special, that can make a difference without fear of gossip, hate and bullying.  So here is to the bullies - have a nice day, I know I will because I know that I will no-longer let you harass and threaten me - you will have to find another target.
