Hello, Everyone,

I would like to take the time to get a little personal with you.  I am banning together with Indie Authors Care to raise money for To Write Love On Her Arms in an anti-bullying campaign.  This cause is very dear to my heart since I suffered from severe bullying early on in my life, and I am still suffering from PTSD due to what I went through.

I don’t want to dump my past on you, but I will say that having suffered from bullying connected with sexual abuse, self-harm, and a suicide attempt, bullying almost ended my life.  For years I have suffered from PTSD and panic attacks, and I have never been able to forget the things that were said to me or the threats that were made against me throughout middle school and high school.  Bullying is something that one never forgets, and every little action counts.  You never know what a person is going through, and it is more important each day that we take notice of how we are treating others.  Bullying can end lives, and with the current political climate, it is more important than ever to stand up for ourselves and for others.

That being said, please take a look at this wonderful foundation and consider donating.  If we all ban together, we can save lives.

Much love,

Ashley
