// “So then he kicks the door in as soon as he kicks the door in and tries to take a step in my house that’s when I shot him and he ran off,” she told Fox. “Something just came over me, I got calm and my heart slowed down.” //
That’s the line that jumped out at me, as well. Well done. I hope that I can be as effective in my actions as she was in such a terrifying time of need.
Here’s the video, well worth watching & further fleshes out the experience:
*she speaks very matter of factly about the situation: “I went and got the gun by our bed.”
*not only did she feel calm come over her & her heart slow down, but she said she became more focused.
*never thought she’d have to use her gun, doesn’t know what she’d have done without it.
*great example of 2a in action.
