Delivering Joy Excerpt:
Gabby Delivery Truck had just started her morning with her driver, Jordan the Florist. Gabby loved delivering flowers! Everyone always had a big smile on their faces when Gabby and Jordan pulled up to their homes. Gabby loved making others happy – it was one of the reasons why she delivered flowers!
Jordan would collect everyone’s orders at the beginning of the week. Then, Jordan and Gabby would head to the Community Garden and other special areas on Ahway Island where flower picking was allowed. She loved to collect the perfect flowers for a bouquet.
Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.
