Proud of Pink

Eye-wateringly pretty

It's one of my favorite times of the year! Next Wednesday, the 23rd of February is Pink Shirt Day. If you read my blog, you'll recall I've mentioned it before (here, here and here). Pink Shirt Day is a day of solidarity, where we as a society show our true colours and stand up for the victims of bullying.

Given my size and assertiveness, I'm unlikely to be the subject of bullying. Frankly, I never have to give it a second thought. But that's why it's crucially important for people like me to refuse to allow bullying to go on in our presence. Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. So let's all be good men and women--and children--and do something.

Putting on a pink shirt may seem like a small gesture, but bullying only thrives in darkness and secret. When we all shine a light on it, and refuse to allow it, we can remove it from our lives. If you'd like a bit more information and resources on anti-bullying efforts, Pink Shirt Day has an excellent page full of good ideas, information and links.

If you want to take a picture of yourself, or your family, co-workers or friends showing your Pink Pride, please send them to tim@winexpert.com and I'll post them here on my blog. Please include the names of the folks in the pictures so that people can admire them for the cool, wonderful and great people that they are.

See you in pink next Wednesday!
