A Page’s Purpose Excerpt:
In a quiet shop on Ahway Island, the back-to-school sales were in full swing. A vibrant display of pencils, folders, erasers, and other classroom supplies stood proudly near the entrance.
On one shelf sat a blue notebook. It was neatly bound with blank, white pages that were waiting patiently for someone to pick them up and put them to use. As they waited, the pages liked to whisper to each other, dreaming of the fun things they could be used for.
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
