A Mighty Roar Excerpt:
LaShawn trekked until he stopped at a big rock. He jumped up onto it, lifting his chin high. The cool breeze ruffled his fur and the air smelled fresh and sweet. This was LaShawn’s favorite spot to practice. It helped him pretend he was standing at the very top of the mountain and roaring up to the clouds.
LaShawn braced his paws against the rock. He held his head up. He opened his mouth wide, ready to let out a big roar. LaShawn sucked in a big breath. But when he let it out, all that he heard was a little meow.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with love as you imagine a puffin family and think about your own unique family.
