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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I read and write all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Withersheim.

We give to a different charity each week.

And this week, we are giving to the Atchoo Foundation, which is passionate about helping homeless street dogs and cats. Get the safety and medical care they need.

You can learn more about them in our show notes.

For ad-free and bonus episodes, you can subscribe to our premium plus feed.

We have special extra long apps.

We call them slightly more happens.

I know, I crack me up and right now we are working on a super sized eight hour long app to carry you all the way through the night.

You can learn more about that, as well as our subscription wine down box,

full of hand-picked full-size products for self-care rituals,

and three exclusive mini episodes all through the links in our show

notes.

Now, we need to guide your mind to find good sleep.

Without a gentle tether.

it can wander endlessly.

And not only will that keep you up.

It can give you the 3 a.m. existential dreads. So let me help. All you need to do is listen. Just gently focus on the sound of my voice.

I'll tell you a soft, simple story, and I'll tell it twice, going a little slower the second time through.
