Sit. Get comfortable. I am Sweetie, and I am dictating this to my human, who is doing her level best to keep up with my brilliance. (You missed a comma just now, darling. Yes, there. Fix it.) There, that’s better. Now—welcome to Part 1. I am delighted you’ve found your…
Welcome
I’m Sweetie
“My name is Sweetie! I have lived on this earth for twenty magnificent years. In human years, that makes me a century-old sage. In cat years, It just means I have perfected the art of living. I have seen it all, and I have learned exactly what matters.
True inner peace isn’t something you fine–it is something you choose. It is found in the quiet moments: in tasting your food slowly, bite by bite, never in a rush. It is found in standing bravely in the open spaces of a room, completely comfortable in my own fur. Most of all, it is found in looking out for the ones you love, like making sure my little brother finishes his meal safely before I take my turn.
I may be an elder now, but my heart is full, my vision is clear, and my wisdom is absolute (with a little bit of cuteness mixed in). Sit down, leave your worries at the door, and let me teach you how to win the internal battles.
Welcome to my book!”
