![]() I just posted my first YouTube video! A friend (Scott Gaul) helped me take the video and edit it. Very exciting! I haven't quite figured out how to load it here. I followed the directions, and nothing happened, so here's the url: https://youtu.be/nthXcDN0JlU The video is me, reading my first Children's Picture Book, Atom's Monster. What do you do when you wake up with a monster in your room? When my 4 year old son woke up screaming, "there's a monster in my room!" I told him this story and later made it into a book. He and his little brother modeled for the illustrations! Now the son is a father and has shared the story with his 4 year old son. When I made the story into a book, I was interested--still am--in ways to overcome fear without violence. We are taught that there are three ways we react to fear: fight, flight, or freeze. I believe there is another way, the hardest way of all: Stand and meet the thing that terrifies you with love, or at least without hatred. I'm still learning this technique.
