A Word on Positivity

Holy bitten blood bags, my Minions! If someone were to look at my blog lately, they might be given cause to think that I am a person who's all about the Doom and Gloom! Just look at all those downer posts. Blech!

I'm not a negative person. Not by a long shot. Your Auntie Heather may own an actual human skull. She may have a couch made from an actual coffin. But she is pretty much sunshine and rainbows, dancing in a shower of blood. It's true! I'm an optimist. I believe that good truly does exist in the world, that right will really prevail over wrong, that wishes really do come true. It's just that my wishes tend to involve morbid things, things you might not want to come across in a dark alley.

So why has my blog been such a source of bummer-dom lately? I haven't meant for it to. But recently I've been distracted by some medical stuff (no worries, please), which has had me under a bit of stress for a bit. I'm on the mend now, but I wanted to glance over my blog and see how that stress was affecting my words to you. Because words are important. How you use words – particularly to one another, Minions – is extremely important. Words can hurt. Words can heal. So I wanted to make certain that mine were relatively positive on the blog lately, and I came back to find…well…all of this. And it bummed me out!

I want to be a positive ripple in the pond of life, so let's do something to get that positive energy out into the world. Comment something that you love about the world. It can be anything! And for each Minion's comment before my next blog is posted, I'll donate $1 to To Write Love On Her Arms.

I'll get us started with this: I love you, Minion Horde. You make me proud. And I am honored to lead you all to our goal of world domination.

Your turn!
