Dharma the Dragonfly enjoys her little pond home. The others feel the love in her dragonfly dance.
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 “Dragonfly Dance” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Dragonfly Dance Excerpt:
Dharma the Dragonfly had been admiring the forest’s beauty as she hovered over the little pond. Now that the breeze had stirred things up a bit, she laughed. The trees wobbled in their reflections with the movement on the pond. Dharma danced from one end of the pond to the other, smiling at the white lotus and the purple water lilies as she zipped in and around the flowers.
The little dragonfly wondered at how the lotus sprung up from the water, as she danced twirling around their bright petals. The water lilies floated with a gentle rock as the breeze rippled the pond. Dharma continued to dance.
A frog hopped onto the lily pad and croaked a ribbit, admiring the dragonfly ballet. Dharma smiled politely and zig-zagged along the edge of the pond. She hovered once more as she noticed that the ripples across the pond begin to smooth out. The pond became as still as glass and the flowers and trees appeared crystal-clear in the watery mirror again.
Dharma noticed that there seemed to be another dragonfly staring right at her. The other dragonfly was a shimmering blue green, just like Dharma. When Dharma zigged, the other dragonfly zigged. When Dharma zagged, the other dragonfly zagged. And when Dharma hovered, the other dragonfly hovered. Dharma remembered that the pond was still once again and it reflected the trees and flowers very accurately. So she flew away from the pond, and so did the other dragonfly.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Dragon is inspired by a story about the enchanted forest sharing roots and growing closer together.
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 “Sharing Roots” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Sharing Roots Excerpt:
The animals gathered at the cozy cave, eager to hear about the train and the new lands the dragon had been exploring. The dragon yawned, feeling very tired, and took a deep dragon breath, in and out. The dragon could see the curiosity on the animals’ faces and decided to tell them about the train. So the dragon took a deep breath in and out and through the flickering flames, showed everyone the train, with people moving on and off. Then the dragon took another dragon breath in and out and through the flowing fire, showed the people getting off and on again in a different place. The place looked very different to the forest animals.
“Oh! So that’s what the train does,” Sachi the Snake said. “It carries people from place to place. But what is that place they are going to?”
The dragon smiled and took one more deep dragon breath, in and out. A book appeared in the fire and opened, with a question mark following. The dragon looked at Odin, the great horned owl, with a smile and a flutter of eyelids.
The gentle owl smiled and said, “I would be happy to tell a story.”
So the owl began, reminding all the animals of the unity in the forest.
Today’s Meditation: Gently sway like the graceful willow tree in today’s meditation.

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.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

Dragon joins in the penguin games with Princely. Having lots of fun sliding across the ice, will Dragon end up in the water?
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.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Join us for Puffin Fun as Pearl and Peter Puffin dive into the water and swim with the fish.
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 “Puffin Fun” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Puffin Fun Excerpt:
Soft clouds covered the sky, as the puffin family woke from their afternoon nap. Pearl and Peter Puffin rubbed beaks and smiled as they hugged their baby bird. Then Pearl stretched her wings wide. It was her turn to search for dinner. The mama and papa puffin rubbed beaks once more and Pearl stepped outside of their cozy burrow.
The little puffin wandered over to the edge of the island and flew out across the water. Finding a good spot, she dove into the water with a tiny splash. With her wings extended, Pearl looked like she was flying through the water. She twisted and turned, enjoying the feeling of the water around her feathers. Then she popped back up to the surface and floated on the waves. Just for a moment, Pearl allowed herself to enjoy the gentle rocking sensation of the sea.
It was time to find food for dinner so the little puffin took a deep dragon breath in and out and dove down. The color of the water changed from clear, to a light blue to a rich blue, as Pearl dove deeper and deeper. Then she saw something sparking as it was caught by the light.

Dragon the builder completes an ice castle for Princely the Penguin. How will they celebrate?
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 “Dragon the Builder” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Dragon the Builder Excerpt:
The dragon smiled at Beau and nodded, then began to pack the snow together. Princely smoothed it over with his wings. Amazingly, the snow stayed together better than the sand had. Creating tall cylinders on the sides for the towers and making a square for the center, slowly the castle grew. Once the basic shape was there, the dragon began to dig some snow out to form entrances.
“Wow” Princely said, “this looks extravagant.”
The dragon stopped and looked at the penguin with an expression that said, ‘what does that mean?’
“You know, fancy.” The dragon nodded. Before long the structure was finished.
Princely and Beau said, “Wow!”
Beau said, “You could live in that, Princely.”
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.
