I love this story and the laundry machine sounds in the background SO much

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you! I hope it continues to help you find peace and dream away. 💜

[@mamaddoesdinner4977]

I can't wait for this one. When I read the title I thought of the smell of clean warm blankets from the dryer in the winter. Yum!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Isn't that the best smell and feeling? Hope you enjoy this one!

[@Laugh_always.havefun.]

Sorry I’m late but just laying down for bed. I never finished “Wisteria” but I’m gonna move on to this one. Goodnight from Atlanta. Love you so much Michelle ♥️ goodnight 😴😘💤🌙

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Hope it brought you a cozy night of sleep! 💜

[@Laugh_always.havefun.]

@@MichellesSanctuary it did because I don’t remember anything past “it’s time to dream away” now I’m going to try again so I can see how far I get. Goodnight 😴

Love the cosy launderette stories

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad! Sweet dreams!

[@laurenfrederick2642]

Ahhh! I can’t wait! This sounds so amazing- you are the bees knees, Michelle!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

You're making both blush and smile. Thank you, Lauren. 💜

[@brandonblack5988]

Love this sleep story; it is so relaxing! It has been my go to sleep story for the last week! I love traditions that bring people together like this!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Brandon! I'm so glad you enjoy it-- there are a few in the series and I am hoping to write a new one soon. Sweet dreams!

[@amanda6245]

I have fallen asleep to your stories literally "every night" for just over a year now. You are a blessing for me thank you 🙌 🙏 ✨ 💖 💛 💕

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you found this sanctuary, Amanda! I hope you continue to enjoy these stories and find sleep for many years to come! 💜

[@teresathomley1373]

This is one of favorites. Something about this story makes me feel at home. Thank you Michelle

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Aww, that's exactly what I wanted to conjure when I wrote this. Thank you, Teresa. Dream away! 💜

[@profesorakarenv]

This looks awesome! I really am enjoying the variety of stories each week.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

It's been fun to keep varying settings and themes. So many ideas! 💜

[@christinekeleher3578]

Another cozy Sunday night story your my kind of girl. Thanx so much Michelle I love your stories. I’m sleeping much better.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad! A night of sleep is the best gift I could give. I hope you enjoy this one-- it's so cold and rainy in New York, I knew it would be fitting.

[@muse_lasagna]

I am sick and with a lot of anxiety that I want to cry, this always help me, thank you

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Hope you feel better- you’re not alone in these feelings. It’s a time of global funk and we can all use a good cry. Keep taking care of yourself! 💜💜💜

[@phoebecostella9326]

Michelle, this was probably my best to date! I didn't lose concentration for a second and so that's how I know! I was so absorbed in the story but fell asleep straight away after... Just magical. Thank you so very much, it's appreciated more than you realise 😃! Love and blessings of peace and happiness to you beautiful lady from Manchester, England... ✌️❤️😇🙏🏻✨💕

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you Louise! It makes me so happy that I can create a new favorite. Hope it continues to bring you sleep! 💜

[@drikaweb]

Thank you for one more story. Now that the summer is starting here in Finland, it is very difficult for me to sleep because there are no nights at all and my original Brazilian "inner clock" does not understand it, even after 10 years living here. 😂 I really enjoy your stories and they help me relax. 🌸💟💐

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Oh I can only imagine! I find myself struggling more to stay asleep with the early mornings and rely on my blackout curtains to help! Hope they continue to bring you sleep.

[@lisawadey6369]

Next five night going to listen each cozy laundrette story again my total faves then wanderlust series heck love all you stuff Michelle ❤️

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you love those-- the Wanderlust series is so special to me and I haven't added more because it wasn't getting as many views but I need to write some new stories for it anyway. Maybe it'll catch on!

[@lisawadey6369]

@@MichellesSanctuary wow wonder why the wonerlust series is fuĺ on escape really takes me there especially with the dogs as I have 7 LOL just hard which 2 to imagine are with me 😍

[@dotcassilles1488]

I would definitely make you a cup of tea just to your liking Michelle. I even have the teacups and saucers as well as a couple of teapots. There is nothing like a pot of tea to drink, in front of a woodfire, while the rain (or snow as we are expecting in the next few days) is falling outside. Blessings, Dot

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Dot-- that is so kind of you. How lovely! It is such a beautiful and healing experience, isn't it? I hope you are staying warm-- today we are experiencing a cool reprieve from our first heat wave!

[@dotcassilles1488]

@@MichellesSanctuary if i could id send you some snow cooled wind and ask for a day of your heat, ive got to do some washing that is too big to hang inside on the airers, LoL. Sending you many blessings, Dot

[@RachelCaruso]

What a find...I can only laugh that I have stumbled across this as I try to take a nap and recover from last night's insomnia, because just yesterday I had this out of the blue feeling of serious gratitude for washing my laundry. Long story short, I hadn't been able to wash my laundry for some time and then I had to suddenly leave my home the day before yesterday. Most of the clothes I packed to take with me were dirty. As I'm in a time of transition without knowing what lies ahead, simply having clean clothes felt like my favorite thing on the horizon. I normally hate going to laundromats, but the gratitude overrode that dread this time. And I ended up having a great experience there, meeting all kinds of characters, like in your story! Then I did a gratitude exercise I enjoy, where for about a minute I say thank you to each item that I touch and recognize the good in it. I did this while I refolded and packed my laundry back at my temporary home. My gratitude for clean laundry feels as though it's setting me up for a peaceful transition period. (You know how powerful gratitude can be.) I am part way through the sleep story now and hope to zonk out before I get to the end. :) But the theme feels very soothing to me today. Great creativity with the storyline, Michelle!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm sorry I didn't respond to this sooner-- somehow I missed it. What a great way to experience gratitude. It can always elevate us above the challenges that we face. And knowing that it's just a season. The simplest of things ground me and fill me with joy-- and the smell and feeling of fresh clean laundry is one of them. 💜

[@RachelCaruso]

@@MichellesSanctuary It was nice to be brought back to my comment a bit later, to look back on how things played out. :) It's deep waters, but I'm still swimming! May you also continue to blessed with the elevating spirit of gratitude.

[@amaliagrassi6870]

I'm so excited by this one. It sounds so social!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

It is-- in a very relaxing way. And on this cold, rainy unofficial start to summer in New York, I would love a room of fresh, warm laundry!

Michelle, this one just might be at the top of my list now! The characters are so real, and as someone else stated, you could definitely do more stories about them:). I fell asleep quickly and finished listening the next morning.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I definitely will-- perhaps I will create one for each season. It's so nice to have a thread of stories that bring a familiar escape for us all. Thanks, Karen!

Can't wait!! 💕

[@MichellesSanctuary]

It's so cold and rainy in New York that I would love to spend it cuddled with a pile of freshly laundered blankets!

[@lynda8632]

That’s love,y but I would like some of the actual noises in the background very gently …it helps imagination better

[@MichellesSanctuary]

There are some soft sounds but you may need headphones to hear them.

Man this makes me miss my cat so bad my heart

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so sorry--- I hope you find ways to think of the best memories you shared together. We are so lucky to experience the love of an animal in this life and it can make saying goodbye so hard.

Thank you. Youre so right. your content helps put a lot of minds to ease and so do you replys. Xo

First Like!!!!😁😁😁🤙🤙

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Oh yeah!

[@cherryrosestar6050]

I can't make myself yawn haha

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Should I make a video tutorial on how we can make ourselves yawn? Just reading this made me yawn. I guess I am affected too easily by the idea of it!

[@profesorakarenv]

Second!

[@spookymama75]

Second person? Cuz for me it says you were last..

[@sineadnichoirbin7232]

What are "brown stones" please?

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Brownstones are a type of old building in NYC. Brownstone is a brown Triassic-Jurassic sandstone that was historically a popular building material-- and in the city there are these townhouses often built like row houses made of this material.

[@jackierowe9195]

Oh no I was really in to one of the stories and I knocked it off by mistake and I had to turn the light on and now I feel cheated 🙁

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hate when that happens! Sorry for not responding sooner, but I hope you continue to enjoy this sleep series.
