Amidst all the rain and gale force winds, there was a mild evening through the cherry blossoms of Central Park that inspired me to write this week's story. 🌸 🎙Podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelles-sanctuary/episodes/The-Cherry-Blossom-Train-Cozy-Bedtime-Story-for-Grown-Ups-e2hurgs Subscribe for more videos at my other channel, Michelle's Meditation Sanctuary! www.youtube.com/@MichellesMeditationSanctuary Gifts are always accepted, for those of you who wish you show appreciation: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/34QKQX4NZM7QL?ref_=wl_share www.buymeacoffee.com/michsanctuary www.paypal.me/michellessanctuary www.venmo.com/michellehotaling

Thank you so much-- elegance is actually one of the words that stayed in my mind as I created this one. I'm glad it came through! 🌸

Michelle, your beautiful voice transports us to sleep and we are grateful. My favourite story is the one at Grand Central where I was able to meet my beloved boyfriend who died of esophageal cancer in August 2017 ~ A truly lovely and unforgettable gentleman man who called me "Princess" and treated me with so much love and respect. I hope one day you are able to visit my country and relate a tale about the fairest Cape and its many attractions including the mountains, coastline and Winelands or, moving inland to a game park to view the Big Five or perhaps go to the heart of the Karoo to the farmlands and arid and changeable landscapes or even a visit to Natal to more subtropical landscapes and miles of beaches, or a little inland to more verdant farms in places like Howick or the mountainous Drakensberg for misty days followed by crisp sunshine and lovely log fires and hearty food at hotels and guesthouses in the hinterland where it may snow quite well in the winter months. So much more. Thank you, may your work be blessed ❤

Lol I wrote "gentleman man" and cannot edit my comment ~ never mind ~ it can stay that way because he was both alpha male and a total gentle man.

I'm so sorry for this loss-- how fortunate you both were to have found one another. You have detailed so many wonderful things that it actually sounds like it needs to be a series of stories I start. Thank you for this inspiration.

Have you ever thought of doing a story about star gazing at the different constellations and planets and maybe visiting the planets? I think walking on the rings of Saturn 🪐 would be amazing!

Love this so much 🩷 Charlie dog approved. I’ve taken him on several train rides and he loves them, getting to have a companion on this ride made the story perfect for puppy snuggle dream time. Also pink is my favorite color so this was an absolute perfection of dreams!

Looking forward to picnic. What’s on the menu? Lobster rolls? Real sloppy joes? The Jersey kind triple layer rye slices with roast beef corn beef pastrami and turkey with Russian dressing and coleslaw in between slices. Not chopped beef in tomato sauce! My dog gets car sick not sure about trains but she’ll love a picnic and possibly running the train or running madly through train cars. Happy solar eclipse Monday even if it’s cloudy

@@MichellesSanctuary I was putting laundry away upstairs I heard this weird roaring noise like a really low flying jet ready to crash and then my house began to shake the mirrored doors on the closet were bouncing around like some large animal was trying to o get out. My do started doing her anxious barking downstairs. To be honest I somehow knew it was a earthquake it lasted maybe 20 seconds but really freaked me out I was pretty shakey myself for a bit. Got hit with a tremor around 6 just a short burst rattling some dishes. I couldn’t live in California or Japan. My mothers still obsessed over it expecting lots more. I have to convince her not for another 200 years or more. In the meantime I have to convince myself too! Your story helps. My cherry tree is a European variety it will bloom within the next two weeks I’ll try wishing on the falling blossoms
