    Hello, sleepy listeners, and welcome.

    WELCOME TO DRIFT BACK SUNDAY

    Starting tonight, and every Sunday evening moving forward, I am unlocking a favorite classic journey from my archive to help you release the thoughts of the weekend and ease into the new week.

    TONIGHT'S STORY

    Tonight, we drift back to an incredibly meaningful classic from the vault: The City Under the Sea by Henry Beston.

Allow the tranquil imagery to help provide natural anxiety relief at bedtime, washing away any lingering stress.

    Settle in, get comfortable, and let this peaceful narration carry you gently toward a restful night's sleep.

    Dorani — A Bedtime Story for Sleep Jul 14, 2026
    Show notes

    Tonight we embark on a journey into the pages of Andrew Lang's Olive Fairy Book to discover the whimsical Indian Tale called Dorani.

    We begin our journey with a short little relaxation to help you settle in followed by the story narration. The soft background melody will continue for a short while after the story ends and then it too will fade away.

    I really enjoyed reading this whimsical tale and I hope you enjoy it as well!

    Sweet dreams my friend! Sleep well!

    A Cozy Bedtime Reading of The Long Winter — Chapter 32 & 33 Jun 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Settle in for a gentle, unhurried reading of Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic story of the Ingalls family enduring a brutal winter of blizzards and scarcity in their small Dakota Territory town. Follow along as the family holds fast together through the hardship — perfect for winding down and drifting off to sleep.

    Historical Context Note: This classic story from the late 1800s reflects the cultural perspectives, terminology, and survival practices of the era in which it was written. Some of these vintage elements do not align with modern values and may be uncomfortable for some audiences. We present this unedited tale strictly for historical accuracy and to encourage thoughtful reflection on our past.

    Sweet dreams!
