Popcorn Adventure Excerpt:
The two girls ran over to the swing set, giggling all the while. They each tried to swing as high as they could, imagining what it would be like if you could swing all the way over the top bar. The wind tore through their hair as they swung, and their laughter echoed through the park.
Callie took a break from swinging and slowed down. As she touched her feet to the wood chips below, she spotted something out of the corner of her eye – something green peeking out from the forest at the edge of the park.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.
