From my experience I have been bullied and also have been the one bullying at times.  Bullying, whether we like it or not has become an accepted way of functioning in our world.  From the boardroom, to the street, to our homes and places of faith it is happening everyday to us or someone we know.

A mentor and dear friend of mine shared a book with me entitled "From the Playground to the Boardroom - Bullies - Strategies for Survival"  It has provided insight and ideas on many levels.

My intention for this blog is to create a community of stories along with healthy ideas and strategies for coping with bullying behaviour......others and our own, and in the words of Dewitt Jones "let's celebrate what is right with the world".

Quote to reflect upon today:  "By uncovering the unconscious rules of the power game and the methods by which it attains legitimacy, we are certainly in a position to bring about basic change."  Alice Miller
