  • The Comfort of "Kummerspeck" and Tiny Crystal Hearts

    Β Hi Sweet Friends, Laurel here with another episode of Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. This episode was recorded in the wee hours of the morning and so, it's a bit extra-rambly. But the angels and I have lovely stuff for you.

    We'll begin, as always, with a love infusion from the angels. They bring forth sweet soothing, clearing energy for you as you prepare to drift off to sleep.

    Then, for storytime, I'm going to introduce you to the concept of "Kummerspeck".

    What is it you ask?

    Well, I was recently introduced to this wonderful German word that describes weight that is gained from emotional eating during a time of grief. Together we'll explore all the carb-heavy foods that are bringing me comfort right now, I'll invite you to a virtual Kummerspeck-worthy meal at Canter's Deli in Los Angeles. And because my comfort is not only coming through food right now, I'll also share with you about some of my adorable tiny crystal hearts.

    Storytime begins at 17:32

    Oh, and don't forget that my Earth Angels Oracle deck is now available! You can bring its angelic wisdom and guidance into your life by ordering it directly through DriveThruCards.com using this link: https://www.drivethrucards.com/product/437560/The-Earth-Angels-Oracle-Tarot-Size

    As you cozy up for another peaceful night, remember that you're always wrapped in the loving embrace of angels, and the divine love is just a heartbeat away. πŸ’•πŸ˜΄

    So, dear one, until we meet again, I'm sending you all my love and the sweetest dreams. 🌌

  • Love + Storytime from our Beach Balcony in Santa Cruz

    Β πŸ’œ Hi Sweet Ones. This is going to be a different kind of episode than you're used to from Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. Β 

    My husband Wes and I have had the blessing of spending a few days at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, CA. The hotel is right on the beach. We're on the 4th floor and our balcony is over looking the beach and ocean.

    This episode was recorded in the early morning hours during sunrise. The audio is fairly awful, but the content is sweet. Therefore I've decided to share it with you anyways.Β 

    I'm not sure how sleep-inducing it will be. But you'll hear the sound of the ocean, seagulls and seal lions barking in the background.Β 

    Please forgive the odd noises mostly caused by my microphone rubbing against my sweatshirt.

    Enjoy! And I'll be back with the kind of episode you've come to expect in the next few days.Β

  • Finding Balance + Long Boring Rambling Randoms

    πŸ’œ Greetings, Beautiful Souls. This is Laurel, back with another episode of Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. πŸŒŸπŸ˜‡

    If you're up for a rambling and somewhat mundane journey, this episode was created just for you.

    Naturally, we begin with a gentle wave of angelic love, ensuring that soothing, sweet, and cozy energies from your Divine Team of Angels wrap around you like a comforting cocoon (fingers crossed).

    Then, I do my best to ramble for 37 minutes or so about the things I'm doing in an attempt to regulate my nervous system during this time of extreme upheaval in the world.Β  No, I won't be discussing the merits of meditation. Instead I'll be sharing with you about Sunday afternoon in my pajamas, continuing my obsession with shopping for crystals on TikTok, my delight in our new Asian supermarket in our town and other sweet distractions that are bringing me tiny moments of comfort.Β
