Thumping Thunder Excerpt:
Clouds filled the sky above the Ahway Island forest. A strong breeze shook the branches of the trees. Ballet Bunny stood on her hind legs with her ears perked up. She had been in the middle of practicing her pirouettes, when she noticed that the sky was getting darker and darker. The little bunny furrowed her brows in thought.
As Ballet considered the weather, a flash of red caught her eye as a bird landed on a branch of one of the trees above. “Good morning, Ballet!” chirped Carrie Cardinal, her voice bright and cheery.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
