To the bullies Who joined in on the torment… ...you’re forgiven ...you were just a child. To the bullies Who poked, prodded, and hit … …you’re forgiven …but understand what you did. To the bullies who enjoyed their sorrow and tears… …you’re forgiven …hope the child healed from the pain. To the adults Who knew it was happening…. ...it’s your fault …you could have stopped it. To the adults Who didn’t stop the bullying… …it’s your fault …your inaction enabled them. To the adults Who did nothing… …it’s your fault … you should have stopped the abuse. To the child Who was shunned by their peers… …it’s not your fault …kids can be mean. To the child who was teased, mauled, abused… ...it’s not your fault ...you didn’t deserve it. To the child Whose innocence was tarnished… …it’s not your fault …don’t let them define you. …dig deep into the rubble of your heart, find your light and shine.

Through words and art, she expresses thoughts, feelings and experiences through the many chapters of her life. From the eyes of a child, parent, grandparent, widow; through transitions; to exploring and expressing as she embraces new chapters. Experience made her who she is today.
