			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-407" title="&quot;Oh No, Woolly Bear!&quot;" src="http://grianmcfadden.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/004.JPG" alt="&quot;Oh No, Woolly Bear!&quot;" width="296" height="222" />I got to do a reading of <em>Oh No, Woolly Bear</em> on Friday.  It was a great experience, as usual, and really got me psyched up to do more school visits.  My goal for this week is to get at least ten more visits lined up.  There are plenty of schools on this side of the mountains and not that many children&#8217;s authors, so I won&#8217;t have to go far afield to find places to read, I&#8217;m sure.   I&#8217;m not going to worry about what, if anything, I get paid.  I just want to get out there and share my stories with children.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been reluctant to promote <em>Woolly Bear</em> because of some snafus and miscommunication with the publisher.  I have tried to take action to change the situation, which hasn&#8217;t worked so far, so I&#8217;m now focusing on simply cleaning up my own vibration&#8211;which is all I need to do, according to <a class="aligncenter" href="http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php" target="_blank">Abraham</a>.  And, yes, I am a believer in the Law of Attraction.  Sometime I&#8217;ll go into my reasons for knowing it works (not that I always am in top vibrational form).</p>
<p>Anyway, back to school visits and <em>Woolly Bear</em>.  It&#8217;s an incredibly beautiful book, thanks to Michele Coxon&#8217;s illustrations.  Kids love the story and adore acting it out with my puppets.  They also love my other two books, <em>Turtle Island </em>and <em>Dragon Dilemma. </em>It&#8217;s ridiculous for several hundred copies of a couple of really good books to sit in boxes in my garage while I sit in my office beating up on myself because they&#8217;re only good rather than &#8220;perfect&#8221;.</p>
<p>Kids don&#8217;t worry about things being perfect (until they are taught to do so).  They&#8217;re all about enjoying  what is, moment-by-moment.   Jesus said we needed to become like little children in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.   I think what he meant was that we need to let go of all those pesky, ego driven &#8220;shoulds&#8221; and reclaim our birthright of wonder and appreciation.  When I am able to do that, I&#8217;m definitely in heaven right here on earth.</p>
<p>So, back to school for me.  The kids and I have a lot to teach each other!</p>
