Pretty Poinsettia Excerpt:
The snow fell softly over Ahway Island, blanketing the town in a quiet layer of white. Inside the flower shop, a poinsettia plant looked out the front window. Its vibrant red leaves made a splash of color against the wintry scene outside.
The poinsettia had never seen winter before. It had traveled to Ahway Island on a boat from a warm, sunny place far away. This new place, Ahway Island, felt special. There were so many wonderful things to see.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.
Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
