Stretchy Kitty Excerpt:
Kit rubbed against Marta’s legs, purring loudly. Then she noticed that Marta was carrying a rolled-up tube under one arm. It was bright purple and looked soft. Kit sniffed the air. It didn’t smell like food. Or flowers. What could this be?
Marta set the rolled-up thing in a corner next to the couch. Kit crept over to the object, feeling curious. She sniffed it. Then she pawed at it. It was squishy! With delight, Kit pressed her paws into the roll, kneading it over and over
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.
