How can you have a fire pit in an apartment? I’ve made jokes to my son when he was decorating his apartment and told him to put a fire pit in his living room as a joke. There really are such things? Or are you barbecuing with a grill there another funny visual. Look yesterday I believed my mother was on her death bed and she’s ok today so I’m goofy. Hopefully she’ll come for thanksgiving tomorrow.

Your snow stories are my absolute favorite!!! I listen to them year round and I'm so excited about a new one!!!!!

Thanks, Hailey-- so many more snow stories to come. There's a chance of real snow today and it always puts me in the mood to write.

Thank you so much, Michelle. This story was so beautiful. I had no idea who I would see when I looked out the window in the story, and smiled from ear to ear when I saw a departed much-loved uncle. Thank you for always taking the time to create these moment of blissful relaxation and peace for us all.

Thank you Michelle😂 Have you ever done a Peter Pan? As the youngest of 7 with a blind mother, we never had children’s stories. She was way to busy😊 I listened to a Thumbalina .. was that by you? That was so good. I like listening to light hearted things, even though I am addicted to Harry Potter 🤪 Really enjoy your work and the effort you put in. Absolutely amazing. Thank you a thousand times👍💥💥

Very many images you create could easily be used and have been by many sci fi horror authors like rod Serling and king. You even quoted bran stoker in a response somewhere. It’s all good literature. Being scared and excited have similar pathways in our brains. Vampires can be seen as sexually seductive or murderers . Actually do can some women I’ve known. Having a nice person tapping on my window is magical exciting and provocative I make it so with my imagination. You can too. Hell I’m having a women I don’t really know take me flying into the atmosphere in the middle of the night. Fairy tales can be frightening or charming all at the same time. It’s all the excitement of being human. Don’t be scared if Michelle knocks on your window. Your in safe hands.

I hope it helps-- that you may come to think of bedtime as a time that you can take a mental holiday and enjoy these stories as a relaxing escape. It's hard to associate positive feelings with bedtime when sleep is challenging, but you deserve to relax and unwind and dream away each night. 💜

Yes i will check ìt out. Im not into snow.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I sometimes imagine my future companion if you want to go with someone in a romantic context. Or a childhood best friend or my grandmother who I lost as a child. I change it up based on how I feel. I often think it’s a good opportunity to reconnect to those who made our lives happy at some point- it helps us also remember the beautiful parts of ourselves that they brought out!

Just cause I’m giddy today I just want to buttress what Michelle had stated. The field of psychology is filled with all kinds of theories and heuristics for therapy. Some is relatively empirical some if not most is anecdotal but none deals with an important aspect of human emotions. Bliss,pleasure, happiness, inner peace and most important the driver for these things: the imagination. It our brains ergo our imaginations that helps create anxiety depression obsession and all manner of emoting and behaviors. This is not all that creates emotion but an important component. Hypnosis is defined as an state of deep relaxation that enables one to be prone to suggestion. We are hypnagogic all the time like awakening or falling asleep watching tv especially commercials when we are in love after sex when we enjoy a hobby etc. very few psychologists recognize this and fixate on belief systems or family dynamics etc which are no doubt very important but our narrator brilliantly hits all of this with precision. So use the meditation at face value and just go with it suspending logic reason and thought. If you want a romantic partner pick one and their yours. Anyone all of them past future made up man women pet friend cousin relatives made up friends etc. or just go alone and be at peace with yourself. The mechanics of the process works any which way. As Michelle has said pretend along your mind and body doesn’t know the difference as we are all actors acting our own autobiography. Suspend and let go. If you want take me along I’m a nice guy. I tease her with silky stuff like toilets because she’s usually incredibly detailed but still human and slips sometimes but as she says she provides a blank canvass a skeleton structure for us to use for our enjoyment. Life has dealt us all a laundry list of hardships and pains but we have our brains and imagination to see beyond time to help create a different narrative. Getting your brain to secrete dopamine is as simple as creating the scenario that does that in your imagination. We did this effortlessly as children but lost the knack. Just go with it. Your soul mate awaits. Imagine if you imagine enough your imaginations come true? You’re the actor and director. It sure beats negative catastrophic thinking.
