Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

Regarding Francine wanting to strike a conversation with Steve- maybe he is intimidated by her? If she appears to be confident and outgoing, that in itself, may intimidate him, while if a shy person approaches him, he will feel more comfortable. So my advice to Francine would be to approach him in a reserved way, low volume, gentle voice, a light smile, low key.

I like very much smashing the inner bully with a silver disk crushing it under a bus. You can’t come up with any ending to the inner bully that I would consider too harsh, that’s for sure!

I love, love, love the song about the inner bully and can hear the repetition of it, the chanting like and it is very fitting. Some of my favorite lines

““the arms of the inner bully goes grab, grab, grab.
…the voice of the inner bully says “not good enough, not good enough..
It’s arms are twigs in which i will break, break, break
…the inner bully chitter chatters all day long
“Not good enough, not good enough, not good enough” …
i fast forward the screen, the inner bully doesn’t hold the remote to my life
…the inner bully says “fail, fail, fail”
what good would your actions do? ‘cuz i’m the inner bully “ha, ha,ha”
and i say “you will never shatter my spirit inner bully, begone!”
i will not tolerate your insults and curses
you are nothing, but a miserable shadow that just latches on to people
you don’t have physical form, you just lurk in the shadows waiting to be triggered”

There is more that I like, but these are some of my favorite.

“You will never shatter my spirit, inner bully, begone!

Great light hearted, creative, amusing writing, Shirley! Very rhythmic too and of course, creative bio references!

This post is one of the more humorous expressions of the amazing Earth Angel!
