Responding to change

[beautinthebeastr1lov]

This video is so moving!!! I'm planning to use it to close a professional development session with a group of teachers who have been resistent to change. Thank you for providing such a meaningful piece to take the learning of the book to the next level and making it relavent to everyone.

This is very good. We need to think more like this to make this place--our world--a better place than we met it.

you brought tears to my eyes. I struggle with my own tradgedy, losing my daughter, you made me a little stronger today...thanks..

[Beatleologist]

Wow, that was great. Believe me, nearly everyday I think about what I would do if something ever happened to Sara. The answer is always the same, I don't know. I don't know if I could handle it or if I could go on or even want to. In my life, the sun rises and sets with her. I pray to God that I go first.

It does make you think about a lot of things. Since making this video, I think I have opened my eyes up to a lot of possibilities, and considerations of what I would do in the event of particular changes.

Glad you liked the video :) I hope to make another one soon.

[alphaba2]

I love the way you think.

[ibkb]

Awww *blushing* Thank you!

[chriskoff]

That was really cool. I hope that I could be as big a person as the Amish.

[ibkb]

Yeah, me too. Glad you liked the video :)

[KayaRaven]

This is very Touching. Ive often wondered if any or all hatred would leave our fine world. But then something tragic like this one happens and it blows me right back to all the feelings i had at 9/11. I wonder if just one day we may all have A Day Of PEACE and Pass it on. I to beleive still there is much good in others. This was a wonderful Vid and one i will keep and pass on to many i know. Thank You and have a wonderful Day. :) Many Blessings :)

[ibkb]

Thank you AngellStarr!

ibkb, WOW, what a beautiful expression you've given us in this video. At this point, I can only imagine what it would be like if our nation's leadership had responded much like the Amish. What a statement of healing that would be for all mankind. It's never too late.  Thank you for posting. We are all one, Robin

[ibkb]

thank you! I'm glad you like the video... I can only hope others are inspired by the response of the Amish.

[phaedress]

This was so beautifully done. I've been reading about how the Amish dealt with their tragedy and find it quite inspiring. Your message of responding with kindness rather than "fueling the fire", is very much like my own.

keep up the good work.

[ibkb]

Thank you! I think they are amazing, and very misunderstood. People may not agree with their religious beliefs, but you have to admit they are fantastically strong people.

[Pookieftw]

Very nice video. I can't believe I am just seeing this for the first time. It should have been featured!

[ibkb]

Awwwww *blushing* I just made it yesterday. (Read my above response to Dickens123 for the inspiration)

Feel free to share... maybe it will get around enough to inspire others :-)

[Dickens123]

Your message is really so important. Thank you for posting it on my snowball! I am sharing it with friends; gave you 5 stars; inviting friendship; made it afavorite; and have subscribed! Looking forward to more vids! Enjoy your day!

[ibkb]

Thank you!! It was inspired by a journal entry I made while my father was undergoing a massive open heart surgery two days ago. It was unexpected, and made me realize how sudden things can change. All you can do is accept it and be a stronger person because of it :)

[Dickens123]

There is an old saying: if it doesn't kill you it can make you strong! Nice to meet you & hope you accept my invitation for friendship!

[Dickens123]

PS I hope that your father is doing well.

[ibkb]

thank you, that really means a lot. He is who inspired this video to begin with :)

[danielwebacc]

I love the video and enjoy the song!

[ibkb]

Thank you!! Hope you are doing well... you should be on day 30 now, huh?
