“Haters” has become a popular new piece of slang. i used to roll my eyes whenever someone spoke of having haters, being blind to their haters etc. It seemed both silly and self-important. Now i’ve got some haters of my own. LOL. Someone has been attempting to sabotage what is a very good opportunity that has opened up for me. i have no idea who it is but it is obviously someone who knows me, most likely a close acquaintance or colleague, perhaps even a “friend”.

my first reaction was disbelief that someone could be so willfully and strategically hateful, spiteful and mean.

nothing rolls off my back easily but i’ve decided that whatever will be will be. i’m not stressing.

whenever someone is grudgeful of whatever it is they think i have i laugh to myself. i’ve been blessed and life has been good to me. i’ll be the first to admit that i enjoy tremendous privilege. but there is also the living on the edge of sanity, literally waking up each day and having to choose to live, to hold it together, to take life one day at a time. there is the long, hard, impossible road i’ve walked- so much pain and shame that it is a task not to let it overwhelm me.

i only wish to do a little good in the world, to honour all that i’ve been given. and when i give, i give generously of spirit which is all i have and all that really matters anyway.

so i’m sending a little love to those that are wasting their time hating me and trying to put obstacles in my way. i will rise and i hope you do too. the world is big enough that we can all be brilliant. now stop the foolishness!!!

  1. You should be happy you have haters.

    It is always a great sign that you are doing great things.

    Just ignore ‘em!

  2. I never thought of it the way Aulelia put it…that it means you’re doing great things…but now I do! It’s true.
