Dear Haters, Trolls and Darkness. *Now that I got your attention* ❤️ I recognize and see all of you your with loving, pink hearts inside your beautiful cavernous chests. I see you all trying to be the positive role models and radiate kindness wherever you go. I don’t know about you all but are you not compelled to say something about the rise in the negative, hateful, stomach-turning, fake and deliberately anonymous emails and comments that come un-welcomed into our inbox and social media feeds?
