Are you ready to meditate with Kari?
Make sure that everything is just right in your room.
You know the deal.
Check that your light is just right.
You're wearing your comfortable pajamas.
All is well in the world and you're ready to relax and let go of your day.
Heidi,
Cherry and Veya and some of their friends including Livy were outside roller skating in the neighborhood.
All the kids were playing out together and they were pretending because they couldn't actually go to a roller skating ring that they were going to make a roller skating ring right there in the middle of the culissac.
A culissac is a street that has an end to it and then it has like a circle in the middle so there's a big road area where the kids can play on the road and the grass.
The road on the street was really smooth which was perfect for roller skating because sometimes if the gravel is too gravelly you can't roller skate.
Cherry shouted,
Livy show us your best moves.
Show us what you can do on your skates.
Livy had been practicing going round in circles and also trying to skate backwards.
Wait till you see this said Cherry.
I've been practicing this thing where you bend down and you go down and then you just skate on like one paw and you lift your other back paw up so you go down into like a crunch and then you skate just on one foot in like a crunchy mode.
So cool,
It's so cool.
I've been watching some of the girls doing it on social media and I was like you know what I can do that.
I can definitely do that.
I can definitely try that move and you know what I did?
I did it and I fell down and I did it again and I fell down again and I did it again Livy and I fell down again and again and again and again but you know what?
That's what you have to do don't you when you're practicing something because Heidi said that you can't always be good at everything all the time straight away and I was like oh yeah you can and Heidi was like oh no you can't Cherry and I was like oh yeah I can,
I can,
I can,
I can be good at everything because I know I am because I you know,
You know me,
I'm absolutely awesome at most things.
I'm so good at everything and I mean it doesn't help to have some confidence you know.
You've got to have a bit of confidence when you're trying something new and I was like I'm going to try this move because I'm going to be good.
I'm going to be so good at it and then you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to record it and I'm going to put it on Instagram as if I've just done it for the first time and you know you did it for the first time Cherry and you did it so good and so perfect and then no one will know I did it like 30 odd times before that and I fell on my bum every single time but nobody will know will they because it's Instagram world is perfect world isn't it?
You know that world where everybody looks good all the time and nobody has a bad day do they?
And everybody always looks really pretty and everybody always looks really perfect and the boys always look like they've got really big pecs and the girls always look like they've got really,
Really,
Really,
Really you know fantastic hairdos all the time and I'm like can't be possible but then I think about myself and I think no it could couldn't it?
Because you know you Cherry you get up in the morning and you just look stunning and you know even if you've been on an aeroplane all night one time you know we went on an aeroplane and we flew so far so far we went all the way from America to India and it took like 18 million billion hours and then I got to India and I landed and I glimpsed at myself in a mirror in the airport and I was like oh it's perfect just absolutely perfect I did have a few red veins in my eyes but you know after 17 million hours on a plane you'd be expecting that wouldn't you?
But my hair was just right everything was just right anyway I got sidetracked while we were talking about.
Heidi interrupted and said you do know that everything on social media is not necessarily the truth most of the time people just act as if they're perfect or that they're having a really good day because they don't want to share if they're having a bad day because no one wants to know about it if you're having a bad day you kind of have a bad day alone when you're having a bad day.
I was once told by someone very wise that when you cry you cry alone when you smile the world smiles with you but when you cry you cry alone Cherry said oh that's so depressing.
Rhea said hmm he doesn't quite understand that.
Heidi said well what they meant was when you're crying most people don't want to be around you because you're unhappy and it makes them feel uncomfortable and they don't know what to do with it but when you're happy and you're laughing everybody wants to be around you because when you're happy you make other people happy and everybody wants to just feel good don't they.
So if you're crying unless they're a really good friend most of the time your friends don't want to know about it and they just kind of avoid you until you get happy again because when you're happy you make them feel good but when you cry you make them feel depressed or sad or useless because they don't know what to do.
Rhea said hmm oh yeah me understands now but that doesn't sound very nice does it?
That doesn't sound like very compassionate to not be there for someone when they're having a bad day.
Cherry said yeah too right.
Livvy do you think you'd be there for me if I was having a big day a bad day because you know you know I'd be there for you because we're friends aren't we and you know my sisters Heidi and Cherry they're always there they're always there for me no matter what kind of day I'm having how about you guys.
Cherry was talking to all the other friends that were skirting around in circles and circles and circles pretending that they were on a skating ring.
One of the kids had run in the house and got a boogie box and they put it in the middle of the circle and they were playing disco music so everyone was having a good time skating around pretending that they were dancing and skating looking really cool on the dance floor.
Some of the kids were listening but most of them weren't.
The ones that were listening to Cherry answered and said we'd be there for you Cherry.
See said Cherry most of my friends are really nice like that I think it's really sad that people are that shallow that they only want to be with you if you're having a good day but you know that's right.
You know what I've just realised I've just realised that that's what I was doing weren't I when I didn't put on Instagram all those times that I fell on my bum doing that skating trick all I did was I was going to put on Instagram the perfect video the one where I just did it and it looked like I was doing it really natural and it was so cool and so pretty and so awesome and so confident and so yeah you know where everybody would be like oh wish I could do that and I'd be like yeah I know you do no I wouldn't.
I'd be like don't worry kids you can do it you just have to try and try and try and try.
I think that actually would be more inspirational I think from now on I'm inspired I'm going to be authentic on Instagram and my social media platforms and I'm just going to share the truth and I'm going to be me and if I'm having a bad day I'm going to get on and I'm going to sit there with with my snotty nose or my cup of tea and I'm going to say I'm having a bad day does anybody want to say something nice to me because I'm having a bad day and then you know what people might say something nice because you're having a bad day right they might be supportive but if no one knows you're having a bad day and all of your followers think that you're always having a good day and they have a bad day they'll feel bad about themselves for having a bad day and that's really awful that's like shaming not being perfect because you know it's difficult when you're perfect I know because you know I know I'm perfect right in so many ways and then you know you don't really think oh my perfection of I've been perfect it's probably making other people feel inferior never thought of that Heidi said well this is where you have to find a fine balance cherry you can't turn down your light and stop yourself from shining just because you're worried about other people not feeling as shiny cherry said oh that's so smart that wisdom right there is so smart Heidi I don't quite understand what you mean though Heidi said what I mean is you can't make yourself look sillier or boring or not as interesting or not as popular just because you don't want all your friends to feel bad about themselves you have to shine your light no matter what and be the best version that you can be that's what I mean they said hmm that's so right you know sometimes when I am wearing one of my princess dresses and I feel so good and I feel so pretty I think to myself you do shine you're very shiny fair is it okay to be like that Heidi Heidi said yes of course you should be able to look at yourself and be happy with what you see and look in the mirror and feel confident about yourself there's nothing wrong with that having self-love doesn't mean that you're arrogant and in love with yourself having self-love means that you love everything about yourself and you're happy with yourself that's not a bad thing you take care of yourself that's not a bad thing cherry said I love myself I really do I don't have any doubts in the world that I love myself do you love yourself Livy Livy said yes I do cherry said good on you right okay let's do some skating let's do some serious moves and if possible I'd like to try a new skating trick I'd like to try and skate backwards and while I'm trying to skate backwards I'd like someone to video it please because I want you to capture me practicing in real life being authentic and then I'm gonna post it on my Instagram page or like my live feed or or that whatever it is and I'm gonna be like gosh this is so hard but I'm doing it guys I'm doing it because it you don't grow unless you plant the seeds oh gosh that was genius yeah that's what I'm thinking you don't grow get it on camera Bea Bea Bea can you please record me I'm gonna go backwards and I'm say I'm gonna wait just record me and and I'm gonna do it on on film no practicing Bea got her camera ready and started to record cherry going backwards on her roller skates she was wobbling all over the place and then she fell on a bum and laughed the cutest laugh and said out loud well guys you don't grow unless you plant the seeds do you cut cut said cherry what was that like do you think that was authentic enough I felt really authentic I felt very real especially the part where I fell down I mean that looked like I was definitely practicing right it didn't look like I was just perfect straight off the bat not like the other one yeah so yeah I think that's really good all right so if you don't mind Bea you could just keep capturing me doing like awesome moves and things like that and like practicing and being really authentic and then and then I could post it all tonight when we go home the cats played on the roller skates going round around around in circles dancing to different songs doing dance moves while they were skating some of the kids fell down some of the kids were really good at it Livi was really good everyone had the bestest time and a really really super time together eventually they all separated and went home I'd got comfortable on the couch when they got home and started to read a book they went into the shower and cherry uploaded all of her new content onto her Instagram page after that she had a shower brush her teeth got on her pajamas got all comfortable in bed they snuggled down together relaxed the paws relaxed the bones and the muscles relaxed their ears their noses and the whiskers until eventually they all fell fast asleep the end
