Bullying is a major problem that children face. My desire is to help children
find the courage to create ways to stand up to bullies and to develop confidence
in themselves.
Mindfulness Meditation is one way to develop the self-confidence and the
creative thinking necessary to find ways of positive action. It helps develop
our inner strength and gives us access to our 'inner guides.'
The intention of this book is to provide a platform for awareness and dialogue
on the subject of bullying and to provide a coping tool for life's challenges.
The purpose of this book is to foster positive change that can empower children
and adults to deal with bullying and other adversities in their lives.
