\\nSock Siblings Excerpt:
\\nIn a snug little laundry room in one of Ahway Island\\u2019s cozy houses, clothes waited patiently in woven baskets. Sunlight poured through the tiny window high on one side of the room, casting warm beams on the tiled floor below. The soothing scent of fresh floral detergent wafted through the air. All was quiet except for the steady rumble rumble from the washing machine.
\\n
\\nInside the machine, clothes of all shapes, sizes, and colors jiggled about.\\xa0 Among them were two best friends: Steven, a happy navy blue sock, and Sofia, his cheerful twin. These two socks were constant companions. From the hamper, to the washer, to the dryer, to the drawer, they went everywhere together.
\\nToday\\u2019s Meditation: Relax as you imagine you are a baby penguin snuggled close to its papa.
