November 06, 2020 152. Color Helpers: a relaxing short story and meditation
Billy teaches his sister how to use color helpers to organize school stuff.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Color Helpers," and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Color Helpers Excerpt:
It was an ordinary day. There were some clouds in the sky. The air felt warm as Emily and Billy left with their dad to shop for their school supplies. Emily felt excited! It was her first time shopping for school. She was starting kindergarten this year and couldn’t wait to have a backpack just like her big brother.

As they walked down the aisle with the supplies, Emily’s eyes grew big. There was so much to choose. She began to feel nervous, and decided that to make it easy, she would just choose everything green.

Emily quickly picked up a green binder, 6 green folders, and 7 green notebooks. It was a lot to carry and Emily struggled to hold everything until …she dropped it all on the ground. That startled Billy who had been carefully considering what binder he should get.

“Emily, are you ok? I know it’s your favorite color, but why do you have all green?” Billy asked, seeing the emerald sea of supplies surrounding his little sister.

“Well, green is my favorite color. With so many choices, I felt overwhelmed, and just figured if I picked all green, then I would be done, and wouldn’t feel nervous anymore.” Emily said.

“Would you like some help?” Billy asked.

“Yes, please!” Emily said.

“OK.” Then Billy added with a smile, “first, let’s try something to help you calm.”

November 02, 2020 439. At Work with Mom: a relaxing kids’ meditation and bedtime story
Owen spends the day with his mom at work and helps return an otter to the sea.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:12
At Work with Mom Excerpt:
A warm glow spilled through Owen’s window as the sun rose. Sensing the time, and eager to get going, Owen hopped out of bed. He zipped over to his closet and grabbed his favorite purple t shirt and a cool pair of pants that would dry fast if the waves splashed him, or it began to rain. Owen wanted to be prepared. He wanted to show everyone his best for his day with mom. All dressed, Owen hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. Mom grinned when she saw Owen. She bubbled with as much excitement as he did for their day together.

As Owen finished his breakfast his mom asked, “Are you ready to go to work with me?”

Owen beamed at his mom and exclaimed, “Yes! Let’s go!”

Owen and his mom walked out the door and headed to the marina. In the distance Owen heard waves rolling onto the shore, seagulls singing their morning greetings, and motorboats rumbling on the sea.

October 30, 2020 151. Cozy Cardboard! a bedtime meditation and story
Chance the cozy Cardboard Box wonders what will happen today. Everyday brings a surprise!
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Cozy Cardboard!" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Cozy Cardboard! Excerpt:
It was dark in the back of the truck where the cardboard box sat, patiently waiting. Chance was surrounded by oodles of other boxes. Some had just begun their journey and could hardly contain their excitement. Others, in the middle of their journey, felt a bit tired and cranky. Already the cardboard box had been on a two trucks and a plane before being placed on this truck. It certainly had been along trip.

Now that Chance was reaching the end of his travels, he began to feel excited once again. The cardboard box felt the truck slow down and stop, as it had many times before. Then the doors opened and light poured into the truck. Chance was lifted up and he knew it was time!

The doorbell rang and when the door opened, the cardboard box was sitting on the stoop. Chance had been on a very long journey, and felt relieved and a little nervous now that his task was almost complete. What would he do now? The cardboard box took a deep dragon breath in and out as the person carried him into the house and set him on the table.

Chance looked around, searching for a clue as to what might happen now. Then he realized he still needed to finish his delivery. So the cardboard box took another deep dragon breath in and out and put his worries about the future aside.

October 26, 2020 437. Dad’s Job: a bedtime story and meditation for kids
— Owen spends the day with his dad at work and learns the value of listening and a caring smile.

Narrator: Male

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:40
Dad's Job Excerpt:
Sunlight slipped through the shades in Owen’s room. As the light sparkled on his pillow, Owen blinked. Then he sat up excitedly. Today was the day! Owen hopped out of bed, practically running to his closet. He grabbed his favorite purple collared shirt and his nicest pair of pants. Owen wanted to look his best for his day with Dad. Now that he was dressed Owen zipped downstairs to have breakfast. Dad grinned, glad to see Owen felt so enthusiastic for their day together. After all, he was just as excited as Owen.

As Owen finished eating his breakfast, Dad asked, “Are you ready to go to work with me?”

Owen beamed at his dad. “I’ve been waiting for this forever! Let’s go!”

With breakfast finished and the dirty dishes washed, it was time to leave for work. Owen and his dad walked out the door and headed to the wellness center. Birds sang, breaking the quiet with a cheerful melody. Owen took a deep dragon breath, in and out, enjoying the fresh air. Then his dad took a deep dragon breath, in and out, and said, “This is such a peaceful morning! I’m so glad we can share this time together, Owen.”
Today’s Meditation: Feel your body fill with warmth and love as you send your loving energy to the world.

October 23, 2020 150. What’s This? a mindful bedtime story
What's this construction project in the forest? The Train is curious and can't wait until it's finished.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “What's This?" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
What's This? Excerpt:
The setting sun painted the clouds in a pinkish hue against the blue sky. Before long the sky would change colors as well, from blue to orange to red to deep blue. The Sparkling Train smiled as it watched the painting in the sky transform with the change in lighting. It was time for the sunset roll. The Sparkling Train slowly pulled out of the station and began to hum along its magnetic tracks, ready to check on everyone as night fell.

The first land the train approached was the beach. The Sparkling Train took a good look and saw that the blue penguins were all parading back to their homes. Slowly, the train approached the beach station. The doors opened with a whoosh and people filed on. As the train waited, it noticed the sand bucket was snuggled into the warm sand, and the palm trees swayed in the gentle breeze. Yes, everything looked fine at the beach. Once everyone was seated, the train continued on with the sunset roll.

Before the Sparkling Train passed into the land where the people lived, it passed through a small section of the enchanted forest. The train looked, hoping to see the dragon again. It was nice to have some company on the starlight ride. The train didn’t see the dragon, but did notice something was going on in that part of the forest. The Sparkling Train decided to look more closely at the magical forest next time, to try to figure it out.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.

October 19, 2020 435. First Snowfall: a mindful bedtime story
Owen enjoys the first snowfall of the season by going sledding with a new friend.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:15
First Snowfall Excerpt:
According to the calendar, the first official day of winter wouldn’t come for another month, but to Owen, it seemed that winter had definitely arrived in his neighborhood! Overnight, the first snow of the season had fallen all across Ahway Island, covering the neighborhoods, forests, and beaches with a thick blanket of snow.

Fluffy white flakes piled on top of each other on the window sill as Owen gazed outside. He watched, entranced, as more and more flakes slowly floated down to the ground, covering the snow that had fallen overnight with ever-thickening sheets across the front lawn. Owen smiled. He had always loved falling snow, and the first snow of the year was always a particularly joyous event. He knew that when he went outside, he would experience that special, quiet hush unique to a world covered with freshly fallen snow.

Owen watched for a few more minutes, just quietly enjoying the sight. The peaceful beauty of a snowy world was one of his favorite things and he just wanted to watch silently for a little while. But after a couple minutes, a thought occurred to Owen. The snow was probably thick enough for sledding!

Gazing through the window, Owen looked down the block to see the hill at the end of his street. All the children in the neighborhood called the hill “the sledding hill,” no matter what time of the year it was. Today, the hill stood tall and white and ready for some the season’s first sledding tracks!
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

October 16, 2020 149. Puppy Pick-Up: a story and meditation for your bedtime routine
Pal the Puppy feels bored now that the kids have gone to to school. He waits for a puppy pick-up at the bus stop to find them.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Puppy Pick-Up" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Puppy Pick-Up Excerpt:
The little puppy darted in between and around the boy and girl’s feet as they rushed around the kitchen. He was happy they were up and about on this beautiful morning.

“Watch out, Pal!” they said.

What Pal didn’t know was why the boy and girl were rushing at all. This was the time of day that the puppy sat at their feet while they ate breakfast. Pal would relax as the boy rubbed his ears and the girl scratched his chin. Today was different.

With a 'see-you-later' and not nearly enough petting, the boy and girl walked out of the front door. The little puppy hoped up onto the couch to look out the window. Where were they going? Pal barked, trying to get their attention. The little puppy watched as the boy and girl walked along the sidewalk. Then the puppy barked so loud he fell backwards into the soft cushions on the couch. Pal popped back up and thought about the bags he had seen the boy and girl carry. He realized they were going to school.

October 12, 2020 433. Autumn Moments: a short story and meditation for kids
Wilma Willow treasures the moments of a beautiful autumn day.

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:05
Autumn Moments Excerpt:
Wilma the Willow Tree stood at the edge of the creek and gazed at the softly flowing water. The graceful willow tree always enjoyed watching how the water danced around the stones in the creek bed. Today, as always, little fish played in the creek, swimming against the flowing water with all their strength, their tiny fins moving as fast as they could go. Then suddenly, the fish relaxed their bodies entirely, letting the current take them back down the creek.

Wilma’s branches swayed slightly as she chuckled to herself, amused by the antics of the little fish. She knew the creek would soon be frozen and still, so she treasured up the images of the playful fish, storing up the memories in her mind.

An acorn rolled down next to Wilma’s trunk. She looked upwards, gazing at her friend, Oswald the Oak Tree.

“How’s it going, Oswald?” she called out.
Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Penguin Games" and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Penguin Games Excerpt:
The dragon flew back to the land of ice and snow, for another visit with Princely the Penguin and Beau the Beluga Whale. The dragon paid close attention to the gorgeous landscape, now knowing the way. Everything was white, with a little bit of blue in the ice and sea. Stars twinkled in the sky and the moonlight caused the snow to sparkle like diamonds.

The dragon landed in the soft snow and began searching for Princely and Beau. Then Princely slid up and over a drift, on his belly. He spun in a circle and popped up at the dragon’s feet.

The penguin smiled and asked, “Wanna try?”

It did look like a lot of fun. The dragon heard a splash, turned, and saw the little whale smiling from the surface of the sea.

“Go ahead! You’ll like it,” Beau encouraged the dragon. “I’ll have fun watching.”

The dragon nodded at Princely with a smile.

Eddie and Luis are playing outside when they notice their neighbor needs some help!

Narrator: Female

Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:02
To the Rescue! Excerpt:
Eddie and his little brother Luis were playing outside. It was a lovely autumn afternoon. The cool, crisp breeze swept over the tree branches, slowly but surely pushing any remaining leaves off the branches and onto the ground. But the sun was bright and kept the children from feeling too cold.

Eddie and Luis were pretending they were on an old-fashioned sailing ship. Eddie pretended to be the captain, and Luis one of the sailors. Luis had climbed one of the trees in the yard and was sitting on one of the branches, pretending to adjust the sails.

“Sailor!” shouted Eddie, “tie up the mizzenmast! There’s a storm approaching!”

“Ay-ay, captain!” shouted Luis, trying to make his voice loud and deep, which was a little hard since he was only six. But then he said in his normal voice, “Er, Eddie, what’s a mizzenmast?”

“Oh…well, you know, sailing ships have tall masts with sails. The mizzenmast is the mast at the back of the ship,” replied Eddie.

“Oh, okay,” said Luis. “Er, I mean… ay-ay, captain!” he said, using his sailor voice again. “Tying up the mizzenmast now, sir!”
