Hello there and welcome to Drift Off. I'm your host Joanne and I'm so glad you're here with me tonight.

Carved out this little space for yourself to simply relax and let go.

Tonight we're continuing our journey through the snowy landscape of the long winter by Laura Engels Wilder.

Before we begin, I want to share some exciting news with our community.

As you know, this podcast is 100% listeners supported and always add-free,

and I'm so grateful to those of you who make this possible.

If you'd like to support the show and get even more rest, I'd love for you to join the Drift Off premium feed.

As a premium member, you get weekly bonus episodes and early access to chosen stories and very soon I'll be launching

Drift Off Lullaby Library a brand new premium podcast exclusively for members there

you'll find all the audiobooks have ever narrated available to listen to seamlessly from start to finish.

No chapter breaks, just hours of uninterrupted story to carry you through the night.

Thank you so deeply for supporting this dream.

Now, let's prepare for sleep.

Take a moment to adjust your pillows

and pull your blankets up close.

If there are any lingering thoughts from your day,

tasks left undone, or conversations held, imagine placing them gently into a small box and sliding it under the bed.

They don't need your attention right now.

Take a deep slow breath in and as you exhale feel your shoulders drop away from your

ears.

Let the tension in your jaw soften.

Feel the weight of your body being fully supported by your bed.
