Welcome, I'm Joanne, and this is Drift-Off, 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.

There is no softer pillow than a quiet mind, and a soothing bedtime story will help

you just that.

It will offer your mind a calming distraction so you can effortlessly ease into restfulness.

It really is that simple.

So are you ready for a bedtime story?

Well then, get comfy and cozy in your bed and snuggle up tight, and let me be your guide

now.

Sweet dreams, my friend, and good night.

Tonight's story is called Jasmine by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, who is well

known for her famous series of Anne of Green Gables.

This short little story is a bit different than my usual tales, but it's a very gentle

read, and I really hope you enjoy it.

When you listen to a story, whatever your age, you take a journey into your imagination

to another place in time.

You forget about your surroundings, and you become fully immersed into an imaginary world,

and with everything happening, who couldn't use that right now.

So go ahead and settle in comfortably into your sleep space.
