Positive Peanut Excerpt:
As Skyler neared his den, he heard a soft rustling coming from a nearby bush. The skunk perked up his ears and looked toward the bush, wondering who might be there – at this early hour, it could be anyone: night creature, or day creature.
Sure enough, Skyler saw a small figure emerge from the underbrush. It was Peanut Squirrel! Her head hung low, and her fluffy tail was drooping. Skyler tilted his head with concern. Usually, Peanut was full of energy, always darting from branch to branch, but today, that bouncy energy was nowhere to be seen. Skyler decided to step a bit closer and check if she was okay.
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
