Taekwondo Celebration Excerpt:
Tracy took a moment to remember all of the time she’d spent practicing taekwondo. It had been a lot of work, but it had also been a lot of fun. To do taekwondo, Tracy had to focus on the movements, listen patiently to her instructor, and practice often. It was something she had been working on for a long time.
Tracy felt proud of herself for practicing every day, even when it was tiring. All that effort helped her move up one belt color. Today, she would have her belt-passing ceremony after school, and after that, she would celebrate at her house with her friends and family.
Today’s Meditation: Relax as you imagine sunlight warming you as you lie in a grassy meadow.
Creating the original bedtime stories and art for Be Calm on Ahway Island takes a lot of time and care.
