Welcome to season 13 of 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 and nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Widdersheim.

Wow, 13 seasons, over 200 episodes. One fantastic book, if I do say so myself. And now three weekly shows, all from a little idea I had in the middle

of the night. Thank you for listening and for sharing what we do.

It helps us grow and provide more comfort and enjoyment to others.

Our newest show is called Stories from the Village of Nothing Much, and it's a

daytime version of our bedtime stories. It joins first this, our 10 minute meditation show, and giving you lots of ways,

morning to night, to feel good and feel connected to what is good in the world.

They're all available for free, wherever you listen.

Or you can subscribe for ad-free and bonus early release episodes through the

link in our show notes or by searching NMH premium Plus on Apple Podcasts.

Our charity this week is Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Everyone deserves to move through the world safely and confidently and they are helping.

Find a link to them in our show notes.

Now, I have a story to tell you.

It's a soft place to rest your mind, and just by listening, you'll be training your

brain to settle and to sleep.

I'll tell the story twice, a little slower the second time through.
