Tonight's reading is A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady.

This delightful story reminds us of the magic of Halloween.

I really enjoyed the lightheartedness and playfulness of this whimsical story and I hope

it brings you sweet dreams.

And so as always, my friend, settling comfortably under the covers.

Take a full comfortable breath.

And as you exhale, relax and let go.

Allow any tension to just melt away.

Letting your body sink deeper and deeper down into the softness of your bed.

There is nothing else to do and nowhere else to be.

So just lay back, relax and enjoy the story.
