What began as a feeling of helplessness to protect his daughter from cruel playground bullying led to an evaluation of how he, and those around him, react to abuse. J. D. Daniels breaks open our hearts to the pain bullying can cause, and provides three steps to embrace the power and spirit of age-old wisdom called the "golden rule."

JD Daniel has a balloon art entertainment business and is passionate about bringing joy to others through his work. He is also passionate about connecting with people and helping those whose lives he touches gain emotional peace from the principles of non-resistance, forgiveness and compassion.
