In The Spotlight

Giving The Gift Of Presence

Welcome to In The Spotlight – a new column that features a linked post from the previous edition of Friendship Friday that caught our eye!

This week Seraireland of Living Intentionally Simple is In The Spotlight with her heartfelt post, Giving The Gift Of Presence!

Seraireland reminds us that it’s easy to get distracted by technology and toys – but what all of need – especially children – is each other! We need each other’s full attention We need to be present in each other’s lives – memories, not stuff, are the best gift that we can give to one another!

To read Seraireland’s post in her entirety, please visit Giving The Gift Of Presence – explore her wonderful blog – and congratulate her for being In The Spotlight at Create With Joy!

Thanks for partying with us each week at Friendship Friday! Be sure to leave a comment as we’d love to get to know you better!

We look forward to the opportunity to highlight you in an upcoming In The Spotlight or Friend Of The Week feature!

Inspirational Video Of The Week – A Bullied Girl Voted “The Ugliest On The Internet” Responds To Her Tormenters

In a culture that is obsessed with physical, can you how emotionally devastating it must be to be voted “The Ugliest Girl On The Internet”?

Now imagine what it would be like if you received that designation when you were only 11 years old! (I am filled with anger and tears just thinking about this cruelty!)

That’s what happened to Lizzie Velasquez – a young woman who was born with a disease that’s so rare, only two other people in the world are known to have it!

How would you respond if happened to you?

Today’s inspirational video is powerful. I encourage you to watch it and to share it with a friend!

    The story behind the video is moving. It is so sad somebody posted a photo of a sick child as an ‘ugly’ photo. :/

    Thank you for hosting.

  10. Thanks for giving me a platform to gain more friends and be read by a wider audience =)

  11. It’s amazing how mean people are to others who are different, especially kids. Children can be really cruel to their peers, but how horrible it is that adults (more than likely) were leaving vicious comments on YouTube. You know what I think? Here’s a woman who can’t help how she looks, but despite her appearance has grown into a beautiful person. But, there are scores of beautiful girls who deface their image on purpose. It doesn’t make them less beautiful on the inside, but the thing is society openly accepts it and yet they are scared of the way Lizzie looks. It’s absolutely craziness! Somewhere along the way, kids aren’t shedding their rudeness as they grow up. They don’t know what it’s like to have empathy or good manners, but think it’s fine to bash someone while hiding behind an IP address. Lizzie is an amazing person. She truly is inspiring. Thank you, Ramona for sharing this with us today!

      Thanks for your beautiful and heartfelt comment Cathy – it amazes me how cruel that people can be. I hope that by hearing this “beautiful” young woman speak, that the next time we are tempted to make an off-the-cuff remark we will remember how powerful our written and spoken words are and the potent and lasting impact they can have on others – even people we may never meet!

  12. Thanks for the party! Have a great weekend!
