Now to make the most of life, we can't undervalue the importance of sleep.

That's why I want to tell you about a fantastic podcast called Get Sleepy.

It helps you fall asleep with original stories and meditations.

They're captivating enough to grasp your attention and pull you away from your day-to-day problems,

yet so incredibly relaxing that you'll have no choice but to fall asleep.

Imagine relaxing in a tropical oasis or exploring an old library to discover its hidden secrets.

There are hundreds of episodes, so you're bound to find something you love and get a good night's

rest. Search for Get Sleepy wherever you listen to podcasts or go to GetSleepy.com.

transcends species. So today and tomorrow I'm going to read Joshua's story of dealing with his loss,

and for me it's a small tribute to my cat. So with that let's hear Joshua's story and start

optimizing your life. Letting go. Dealing with the death of a loved one, part one, by Joshua Fields-Millburn

The indoor lighting glow soft and placid. My chair sits next to Mom's bed, her small living quarters

decorated with miscellaneous, nice at ease strategically placed to make her feel at home,

picture frames, artwork and the like. A glossy wall calendar flipped to October 2009,
