I am so sorry that you have these hateful people in your life Carol. I have learned from a couple of haters in my past towards me that they are not worth my time and energy, but when it got out of hand, I had no other choice but to put an end to it. I also hope for all of the things you do:

I continue to hope that the broken will be mended, the sick will be healed, and good will win out over evil.

Wouldn't it be nice if the haters were more like Pollyanna?
I do love how freewriters from around the world have come together, supporting and loving each other. I also thank @marriannewest for making that happen. And thanks to you Carol for all that you do for the Freewrite House and for spreading your love. Thanks for the kind shout-out too! BIG HUGS!
