Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I read and write all the stories you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering

by Bob Witterstein.

We'll have some exciting news to share with you very soon, so this is an excellent time

to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, so you don't miss it.

And there's still time if you're in the US to order an autographed copy of my book for

the holidays.

If you're not in the US, we have signed a book plates available, and our book was published

in 34 countries, so there's a good chance it is waiting at your favorite shop or library

for you right now.

Now let me say a little about how this podcast works.

I'm about to tell you a bedtime story, and the story, if you let it, will become a place

to rest your mind.

When your mind has a place to rest, you will drop off into sleep.

It really is that simple.

It's when our minds run wild that we can't fall asleep.

So follow along with the sound of my voice and the simple shape of the story.

And probably before I finish, you'll be sound to sleep.

I'll read the story twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
