Thanks Michelle, this brought back a healing that took three years in the making, and it felt good to revisit the powerful results that can be found in the force of a waterfall when the time was right 🙏

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad this conjured thoughts fo a healing and the force of waterfall can be so soothing and transformative. Sweet dreams!

Well that was super effective ! I’m gobsmacked at how fast I fell asleep. Woke up 3 hours later for a visit to the bathroom and dog putting and restarted your story. Excited that this time I’ll be able to hear it. 5 min in (I’m guessing) I’m out like a light. Will listen again tonight ! And I am having more dreams since trying to remember them, but it’s just flash’s. Sleep has become something to look forward to. Thanks for your magic Michelle! Source given😇💥

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Wow-- I'm glad you're remembering your dreams more. I have often found guidance and help in mine. And I'm glad this story is working-- I wish I could actually teleport us all to the Waterfall Cottage.

Dear Michelle, I just loved this (and I haven't heard all of it yet as I had a migraine, but will listen to the rest tonight). I love the whole story of the architect - your descriptions just conjure up such wonderful imagery and make my imagination run away. Thank you for your soothing voice. I've had so many bad nights lately, and I don't know why I forget to play your stories. You always make me sleep so peacefully! Sending love from western Canada, Jane

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Jane-- I'm so glad they open your mind to beautiful imagery. I'm glad you enjoyed that piece, it was inspired by a few women who inspired me in their field during a time when they were the only women doing certain things. Writing it made me wish I was an architect!

[@Crazy_Cat_Lady_13]

Ooh looking forward to this one! 💜

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I hope you find it soothing! Sweet dreams, Emma!

[@Lisaburr24]

thanks michelle i have just found this one and i love it 🥰

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad you discovered this-- it's one of my favourites.

[@profesorakarenv]

This sounds amazing! I am headed to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula soon for a week, and waterfalls abound there! If only we could find lodging like this in real life. Looking forward to listening.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I have been searching for some time with the hopes a place like this exists! I wish that many of the places I've written about could be designed and available for us to visit.

[@ginaspurlding8590]

[@sarahreese7109]

Hello Michelle. You are so very awesome. I am currently having a bit of fear and sadness about my future. I don't want anything scary to happen to me, and that makes me cry or something. 🥺 I am thankful that music and soft voices make me feel good. I saw the videos that say that I am okay and it's all good. I think I will listen to that during my nap time today.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

You are okay and sending you love and encouragement. Let that fear and sadness have some space so you can release it when you're ready. It's normal to feel this way at times-- keep taking care of yourself and hopefully these stories help you to imagine the best possible outcome for the things that you are concerned with. 💜

[@sarahreese7109]

Thanks Michelle!

[@cmhermes819]

Can't wait a few more hours. I love your stories and voice. I fall asleep fast. I never finish the stories at night and that's okay.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so happy you've fallen asleep fore the end and been part of this sanctuary for so long. Hope you enjoyed this one, Christine!

[@aleximalmgren5301]

had real rain the night I played this .

[@heatherrogers548]

I love this story, Michelle. Has someone in your life inspired you to create it? I’m imagining that you know this woman architect in real life.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Thank you, Heather! It was loosely inspired by a landscape artist I know about. I wanted to create a character that embodied a number of women who were visionaries in the world of landscape and architecture.

[@morgan-readerfreak9737]

I love your stories so much, and I am so looking forward to your Autumn sleep stories! May I make suggestions for September? 1. Harvest Moon Festival in Japan 2. Pirates' Faire and Inn 3. Mossy Apple Orchard and Rainforest in Washington

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Great ideas!

[@larrymarcus3176]

What shall I bring for picnic?

[@joed7759]

your most comfy pj's, pillows and blankets is a must! lol

[@larrymarcus3176]

I’d never sleep at a picnic. It’s a time for debauchery of gustatory things like food and drink. If I’m hosting it I know what I want to consume. What do others want? I’m thinking a chicken salad made with smoked mozzarella, scallions, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, a slice of provolone on a baguette balsamic oil dressing. Lemon bars for dessert or pie, beverage maybe a dry Shiraz. Maybe a fresh fruit in season salad. Only blanket needed is for picnic. No pillows or pj needed.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

@@larrymarcus3176 I suppose it depends when the picnic is taking place. In this, it happens during the day-- I have more burrata and mozz from teaching this weekend than I can consume. Sounds like the perfect menu, although I have a penchant for oven roasted tomatoes that are marinated and my chardonnay preferences are in line with what was trendy in the 1980s. Nostalgic, like many other choices in my life.

[@larrymarcus3176]

You can bring them. I’ll provide some artisanal wheat crackers and a fine not so retro Chardonnay that isn’t oakie. It’s also organic very tasty. Or a vintage 70’s pouilly fuisse. The smoked moz is sparse in salad just for that little bit of smoke the prov is just a thin slice. The lemon bars are truly to die for. Place I get them makes the best I’ve ever had or blonde brownies. Now I’m craving all this and it’s Labor Day. Maybe during the week. Today it’s ribs burgers dogs and German potato salad and corn unless it’s storming then it’s pizza. ​@@MichellesSanctuary
