Sista's......why can't we just rise above???

Hello LoveLeighs

When I woke up this morning I thought I am going to Blog!! So I did, but this is not what I originally wrote. You see I wrote a little piece on the sadness and disappointment I feel about the women on FB and the nastiness that continues between grown-ups. But after a long-winded piece I decided to delete, because, let's face it I know you are all as fed up as I am with the in-fighting and nit-picking.

Then this afternoon I read a link from Build a Little Biz about death threats to an amazing female blogger!!! You can read the blog here http://ittybiz.com/death-threats-online/ and I was MORE than shocked I was sad!!! Ok so obviously there will always be 'people' who will try and bring you down, especially if they see you as a threat. Mostly these 'people' are insecure and unsure of who they really are and feel the need to be nasty as a way to compensate for their own inadequacies. But death threats is just plain crazy. I mean do these people really want to kill this woman because she is so successful?? And then live the rest of their life in jail??  It seems to me that there IS a LOT more nasty behaviour because you can sit in the comfort of your own home and blurt out whatever you like with little or no consequence to you. But you are an influence on others. You are RESPONSIBLE for what you say and HOW you say it!!

This is the second time I have heard of death threats to a woman who is successful by another who for whatever reason feels they need to dish it out on them.

Bully's don't win when we stand united against them!!! NEVER be afraid!!! After all we all have a SPAM box in our email accounts and a DELETE button and the police are only a phone call away!!!

Oh and one other thing....as a customer and a small business owner it may be best to RISE ABOVE the small, nasty behaviour of others and not engage in it. I have seen SO many pages losing good business and regular customers because they are slugging it out on their page.....and to be honest it is getting a little old. Most of us have kids and have to deal with their petty arguments everyday and then to get on FB and see 'grown' women slagging each other off is more than a little embarrassing.

'Nuff said!! (hopping down off my soapbox now hehehehe)
