The news landed like a sunbeam. Sarah practically bounced in her seat at the dinner table, grinning so wide her cheeks hurt. Her sister, Emily, was finally becoming a Buddhist! Sarah had always admired the serenity and peace Emily found in her meditation practice, and now she'd decided to fully embrace the teachings.

“This is wonderful, Emily!” Sarah exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement. She reached across the table to squeeze her sister’s hand. The excitement was like fizzy water dancing around in her chest.

The air in the kitchen seemed to shimmer with a new lightness. Sarah immediately started planning a celebratory dinner, imagining the delicious vegetarian dishes they could make. The entire family would adore her sister's new journey of introspection.
