Welcome, I'm Joanne, and this is DriftOff, a soft place for you to land at the end of the day.

I'd like to offer you a calming bedtime story tonight, softly told, with a nice soft gentle voice

that I hope will help you feel nurtured, safe, and at ease so you can drift off.

So, are you ready for a bedtime story?

Well then, get comfy and cozy in your bed and snuggle uptight, and let me be your guide now.

Sweet dreams, my friend, and good night.

Tonight I will be reading an Icelandic fairy tale called Hubby by Andrew Ling from his

brown fairy book.

The theme of this lovely tale is of sibling rivalry and jealousy, and reminds us that sometimes

things aren't always as they seem.

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 lie back, relax, and enjoy the story.
