Turning a wrong into a "write."
 Perhaps we are not as tolerant of others' lifestyles, race, and religion that we were a century ago.Three names; Rosa Parks, Rodney King, and Matthew Shepard. It became apparent a week ago with one of the den members posting an unflattering message to my message board. The message last week was removed immediately by I would assume AuthorsDen management, and it happened again this morning, posted by the same member and that response and message was also removed quickly which I also assume was management. So I would like to aright this today by posting what seems to turn a wrong into a "write."
"With malice toward none and charity for all, we extend our sincere wishes for greater prosperity, health, and happiness. Let us think as well of our neighbor grocer or clothier across the street. Let us rise above the petty jealousies and differences that so often grow out of competition, so that in the evening of the day's work your competitor will be as welcome to break bread at your table as would be your doctor or your banker."
This is Sears & Roebuck Company's message of Good Cheer that was posted in their 1800s day mail-order catalog.

Well done making a wrong into a write!! Good Cheers to you!! Love & Friendship Suzie xoxo :-)
I will never understand why people have to be so narrow minded about others lifestyles or gender identity. To me this is childlike, but most children have more sense than this also. So when people send me very uncomplimentary messages, I delete them. Yes it bothers me that there are still people like that in our society today. When I give the prayer at the end of each review, I actually mean every word of it, because the Lord has been very kind to me. It is people who are unkind.
Except for that one person, everyone else here at AD has been very nice to me. The words that are given in all the reviews to my works, make me cry a lot, because after years of physical and sexual abuse, confinement in my teens, abandoned by my mother and hated by my sisters, I find love, tolerance and acceptance here.
Thnx Sage, you are a wonderful person.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sad and very terrified little sister, Barbie
