Remembering Martha's drawings

She was a very talented little artist at age nine and how well I remember her drawing for me. She drew my beloved Scottie bird sitting proudly on his purple perch. His orange head with its crown proudly on display.

She drew stick figures for me, then she drew the sky and the grass. In those days she would draw anything that I asked her to and she did it with such ease and alacrity. She was always so willing to draw and with a laugh and a smile she would come to me and place it gently in my hands. Then I would look at it and smile! "Well done, Martha!" I would tell her.

Then she would only utter a soft "thank you" and then run away about her business. Soon enough, however, she would be back with another drawing to show me. This all took place when she and her dad spent three weeks with Mom and me when she was nine years old. I had such fun then and shall always remember.

This is a personal message from author Donna Jodhan
"Each time we raise our voice at someone else we are engaging in bullying! Each time we raise our hands to slap or punch someone else we are also engaging in bullying and each time we engage in actions to either manipulate or force someone else to do what we want we are also engaging in bullying!

There is no room in this world for bullying and each day we fail to take action against bullying it is another day that we allow others to bully us and our kids. Our heroes and role models are the ones who have made us proud; those brave young men and women who gave their lives for us in past wars and those who continue to do so. They are not the ones who choose to be racists and those who believe that their bad behaviour in public is acceptable.

I write and record audio mysteries that are being used at such events as murder mystery evenings as well as at public awareness and team building events. I promote understanding, tolerance, and problem solving and my audio mysteries continue to be broadcasted around the world and you can listen to them anywhere! On the plane or train! In the car or right there in your home! On your i device or computer!

Please join my campaign against bullying (CAB) by supporting my efforts to keep on writing and recording!
If you truly care then you will certainly dare!"
