“Hello, my friends — parents, kids, dreamers of all ages. It’s me… Luna. 🐾 You know, sometimes life doesn’t go the way we expect. Sometimes, even when we give our all, we still fall short. That’s what happened to my boy, Kay, the day he didn’t pass his karate stripe test.”

“I saw the way his face fell. His shoulders slumped. His spark dimmed. He kicked at the ground and muttered that he was done. Oh, how familiar that feeling is — that sting of failure, that voice in your head saying you’re not enough. But what if I told you… that very moment could be the start of something greater?”

“You see, Kay thought the test was just about karate. But life — and every challenge in it — is really a test of the heart. It’s about learning to trust yourself, even when things don’t go your way. It’s about guarding the gateway of your mind, because if you fill it with doubt, you’ll never see what’s truly possible. But when you fill it with belief — oh, the miracles you can create.”

“In this story, I get to share with Kay and Sevyn the same wisdom I’ll share with you. How to take that tiny spark of hope — even when you’re angry, even when you feel defeated — and fan it into a flame that lights your whole world. I’ll teach Kay that failing a test doesn’t mean he’s a failure… it means he’s growing. And growth, my friends, is the real victory.”

“So if you’ve ever felt like giving up, if your child has ever come home upset because something didn’t go their way, then this story… is for you. Sit with me for a little while. Let’s walk through Kay’s journey together — a journey of pouting, patience, practice, and peace. A journey that shows every child — and every parent — that self-belief is the greatest belt you’ll ever earn.”

“So grab your hearts, open your ears, and come with us into the dojo of life. Because sometimes, the lessons that change us most aren’t taught by teachers… but by talking dogs who believe in us more than we believe in ourselves.”
