  • Taking A Stand: Stand OUT Against Bullying

    Taking A Stand: Stand OUT Against Bullying
    Sep 27 2023
    A powerful episode that touched our heart and gave us chills. 5 minutes from one of our homes, a man was plotting a mass shooting at a church, this past Sunday. Our time on this planet is so brief- don't you think it's time to treat one another better? If you or a loved one are struggling with bullying, listen to Dominique and King and Cruz as we share our experiences. YOU are not alone- YOU are loved- YOU are uniquely and perfectly made for the purpose designed - just for YOU. Seek out support until you find loving and kind warriors to walk by your side, they are out there, do not give up. If you feel you are a bully in school, or an adult still stuck and gossiping and causing division in the workplace, social circles or online, it's never too late to turn it around. We get it- you are hurting too. But, there's enough grace and space for every individual to be themselves and SHINE. Instrumental version of "Cycles". Find, "Cycles" by Jonathan McReynolds, an amazingly inspiring song, on Apple Music, Spotify, Audible and more. Dominique was strengthened and inspired by that track. Maybe it does the same for you. All of our love, King and Cruz
