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. This magical story holds a very special place in my heart, as it was my very first episode, originally published on January 28, 2021. It marks the beautiful beginning of this incredible journey with all of you.
Whether you are hearing this enchanting tale for the first time or enjoying it as a familiar favorite, its gentle, rhythmic pace is thoughtfully designed to act as a calming sleep story. 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.
Sweet dreams, and thank you for being part of this journey!
