Life can feel so busy, and in the middle of all that noise, what we often need most is a little peace, a calm moment to breathe and simply be.

My daughter Emily and I found coloring together so therapeutic during her cancer treatment.

It's brought us comfort and happy memories, so I decided to create a coloring book of our own,

with Emily adding her sparkles and joy along the way.

Now I love to share it with you.

Every page is simple and soothing, designed for effortless coloring, a way to relax without pressure,

just gentle lines, stars, and dreamy little scenes to bring to life.

I hope Drift Off Dreams gives you that same comfort, a chance to slow down, let go of stress, and enjoy a pocket of peace.

Drift Off Dreams, now available on Amazon, let yourift Off, a podcast created to help you gently unwind and find rest at the end of your day.

I'm your host, Joanne, and I'm so grateful to have you here with me.

Before we begin tonight's bedtime story, I'd just like to take a moment to remind you that by subscribing to the podcast, you can help keep it completely ad-free.

Subscribing also gives you access to bonus episodes and one early access story each month. And your support truly means the

world to me. Thank you so much for helping me continue to share these calming stories with you

each week. Tonight I'll be reading a gentle fairy tale titled Princess Golden Hair, A Lovely

Retelling by Edric Bredenberg.

This dreamy little tale is full of magic, kindness, and a touch of adventure, just enough

to stir the imagination before gently guiding you off to sleep.

Now, as we prepare to settle in for the night, let's take a moment to create a little space

for stillness and rest.

Go ahead and make yourself comfortable.

Allow your body to settle into whatever position feels most restful to you. And if it feels right, you can gently close your eyes.

Let's take a nice slow breath in through your nose
