What would you do?

I would like to know what and how you would deal with someone who is jealous of you? How would you deal with this person if they spend so much time harrassing you, defaming you and your good name?

I know this is a strange thing to ask but I have reason and am looking for answers. thanks for any and all help.

It is a crime to defame someone, that is to say things about a person that are not true that destroys one's reputation. If this person is doing so, you might want to contact an attorney who would call that person and telling him (or her) that it is a crime to say untrue things about a person that destroy a person's standing in the community.

Comment by Pastor Sharon Billington on November 18, 2007 at 12:07pm: Tiva, I'm sure you've thought of this, but have you considered contactng her and telling her that she has a right to her opinion but to stop saying bad things about you in public forums. Have you considered telling her that you will hold her accountable for any professional harm caused by her actions? If she doesn't stop, have you considered having an attorney draft a letter to her on your behalf? That way, even if she doesn't stop, you have done the best you can, and I pray you can have some peace in that and can move on to better, happier times.

Hope that helps.

Hugs,

Your energy is too precious to give away to someone with such a low vibration! Know that they're looking at you and seeing what they can't- but want to- contribute to the whole.
Your good name will remain no matter what anyone says, wisdom is justified by her results -address it in this manner . . . look at Sylvia Brown, nothing gets to her even her own bad cold readings.
Keep working; and as hard as it may be for one who opens themselves up to the public-ignore it. Remember that what you give out you get back so don't do anything that you wouldn't want done to you.
If you feel you may be in physical danger turn it over to the police that's what they're here for.

-May you stay safe and protected
