Welcome to Drift Off, bedtime stories to help you unwind, relax, and drift off.

Thank you for joining me, I'm your host Joanne, and it's a pleasure helping you get

restful sleep.

Tonight's storytelling will be the continuation of chapters 18-20 from the book The Wizard

of Oz by El Frankbaum.

Before we begin with the storytelling, I want to take a moment to shout out a special

thank you to one of my newest Drift Off Premium members who recently reached out to me over

this past weekend.

She was very kind and very supportive with her feedback, letting me know how much she

enjoys the podcast and how it's been helping her with her sleep.

So a very special thank you goes out to Vicki from Texas.

With Drift Off Premium, you can enjoy a relaxing, ad-free listening experience as well as

two additional episodes every month, a new bedtime story every Tuesday to help you drift

off.

We'll sign up at driftoff.supercast.com or see the link in the show notes.

I invite you now to settle in.

As your mind and body begin to wind down and relax, softly landing into that perfect sleep

position where your body feels most steadies, aware of that surface below supporting you,

as you allow these words to gently guide you to a place of comfort.

And so as always, my friend, take a full, comfortable breath, and as you exhale, relax

and let go, allow any tension to just melt away, letting your head sink deeper and deeper

down into the softness of your pillow.
