This week, for the first time, I questioned my ability to put up with the negative comments that try to knock others down when they are different, think out loud, and put it on the internet. Long story short, I was feeling really low:  two whole days low.

Michelle encouraged me to stay positive and ignore the negative attitudes but I just couldn’t shake off my little rain cloud.

My mother, hearing about my mopey state, sent me this email:

Ignore them! People love to hurt others with words. Rise above it. You are strong. You are smart. You are special. You are loved.

Simple. True.

Stay Strong!
