Author Elliot A. Herland lives in Rosemount, Minnesota, with his wife, Julie. They enjoy an empty-nester lifestyle and their four adult children. Theirs is a blended family, each bringing two children into the mix. All four kids grew up hearing "The Cloud Story" at bedtime. The story wasn't written. It was made up as a bedtime breathing meditation that continued until sleep arrived. Each night, Elliot used the same story line of releasing the stresses of the day by drifting on a cloud. Only the story's details changed. This attorney-mediator-meditator used his creative imagination to negotiate his kids to sleep.
