Today's reading is a story called 'Anna's Letters' by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery written in 1908.  The main theme of this story hinges on the writing and receiving of letters. It takes us back to a time when letters not only held news of family and friends but also held the power to change lives. I hope you enjoy this!
Sweet dreamzzz...

The music in this episode is called 'The Sea' by Raighes Factory

As promised...here is Chapter 12 from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.  I really do want to finish reading the entire book so thank you for your patience! We are slowly getting there :)  There will be soft restful sleep music playing in the background to help you fall deeper into a sound sleep.  The soft music will gently fade away as the story comes to an end. I really hope this gentle reading helps you get a restful night's sleep. So lights out! Get comfy and cozy under the covers...and lets follow Dorothy and her companions on another whimsical adventure in the wonderful land of Oz. Sweet dreamzzz...

Hey stranger! I know it's been awhile!! I offer a little update at the beginning of this episode to help explain the reason for my absence lately! Thanks for your support and patience during this difficult time!

Tonight I have chosen to read 2 "feel good" soothing stories for sleep called  "Dandelion and Tilly's Christmas" by Louisa Alcott. These two tales are heartwarming and uplifting to provide a soothing balm for your mind and your spirit. Two comforting tales to help you go to sleep! This version includes background music to help enhance the relaxation experience. 

PLEASE NOTE: There are elements of hypnosis & relaxation in this episode...specifically at the beginning and end of story to help you relax deeply into sleep.

And so, lights out, lie back and let's get sleepy together!
Sweet dreamzzz...
