PLACE OF FEELING FASCINATED & FUNfilled
place of feeling Fantastic & Funfilled
There are different ways to build a team to help you with bullies.
You are at lunch. A kid comes up and makes you his target. YOU tell him (or her) to leave. He won’t. What do you do?
Before lunch, you talk to all your lunch buddies. They are to back you up and anyone else who gets targeted at your lunch table. You are a team.
Here’s what to do.. When you tell the bully to leave, if the bully doesn’t leave, one of your lunch mates says, “She (or he) told you to leave.”
No giggling. No bystanders. You and your lunch mates are a team. They ask the bully to leave too. They are there for you. You all demand he or she leave enough, either the bully will go, or an adult will notice and help.
Now go on – with your lunch and your friendships. Teams are powerful…

POFFF and Artist, Author Melanie A. Stinson -with a little help from her friends- will be posting here on and off to help YOU up your pizzazz. Why? Because no one should be bullied.
Kheris Rogers found a way to go in to her SOUL with her sister’s help. She developed a slogan, Flexin in my Complexion.
You can do this too. For instance, Mighty Shiner at the POFFF!
Some times we feel afraid to tell someone we’re being pushed, bullied or hurt in some way. Put on your super hero cape for a while and eve if you’re shakin’ all over tell someone who you know loves you, a parent, grandparent, or a favorite teacher, counselor or adult friend.
If Flexin’ in your Complexion doesn’t suit you, what does? We are all super in some way. Find your slogan in that. Need help, ask supportive family and friends.
Some times we’re sad though and it’s hard to find that part of us. That’s okay. You can get help with that too. I often go for help. I have counselor, therapist and other healing practitioner people who help me. You can too. Soon the POFFF will have some link to those kinds of help.

When I made pictures for my book, The Middle Princess, I let you, dear readers, create in your minds what you think gnat-giraffes, I-ings and hairy fairies would look like. It’s more fun that way.
If you care to share any pictures you make or take (if you find an I-ing under the bed), I would love to post the best pictures. They need to be virus-free and jpg files.
You can purchase the book here. SUGGESTION: only purchase the kindle book because I have no idea why Amazon would charge $40 for the print version. It should be no more than $12.00 as it is a picture book with not too many pages. 🙂
The POFFF Master – MelanieP.S. The Middle Princess is for ages 6-10 and can be read to anyone.
You can go on an adventure anywhere – to your backyard, along a wood fence, in school, or in an office building. Take along a sketchpad and journal. Doodle, jot down ideas. Oh – maybe you’ll take a camera and take some pictures!
On some adventures, it’s fun to find stones. According to some native peoples, stones you find can tell you stories. You gaze at them and see what pictures you see there. What story does each picture tell and do they tell one all together? What does each picture remind you of in your life – or about you today?
Maybe you like a texture on one part of a stone. Does that texture show you a picture or two? Do any ideas come to you from the feeling you get from holding the stone? Is that part of your story time today?
Here’s a favorite stone I found in an adventure in a gem and crystal festival I attended. It could be the stone of where I live in the Great Black Swamp. This stone speaks to us in different ways.
What might I find in a swamp today? What creatures lived in prehistoric swamps? I’ll bet there were some kind of dragonflies.
