Leafy Leap Frog Excerpt:
A cool breeze tickled the leaves lying on the little path in the forest. They fluttered up into the air, twirling with their invisible partner. Tad the toad watched as the leaves whirled and danced, flying higher and higher.
Tad felt a tingle in his legs, as though bouncy energy was building up inside him. Watching the leaves made him want to jump high, too! The little toad decided to play a game with the dancing leaves: he would only jump at the same time the leaves did!
Today’s Meditation: Imagine you are a twinkling star, receiving and sending energy through the universe in today's meditation.
