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

You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

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

by Bob Witterstein.

I want to let you know about my other show called First This.

I taught yoga and meditation for 20 years and one of my goals as a teacher was to guide

folks with simple, understandable language to give people useful tools to make their days

more manageable and more fulfilling.

So if you've ever been interested in starting a meditation practice, come sit with me.

It's 10 minutes, guided and grounding.

Find it on any podcast app.

Just search First This.

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

I'm going to read you a simple soothing story.

It's mostly about mood and feeling.

You don't have to keep track of anything as you listen.

Just let your mind follow along with the sound of my voice.

This will keep it from wandering and before you know, you'll be dropping off to sleep.

I'll tell the story twice and I'll slow down a bit with the second telling.

If you wake again later in the night, you could just start the story over or think back to

any part of the story you can remember, especially any part that felt particularly cozy or relaxing.
