Summary
Welcome back sleepy listeners! I hope you had a safe and happy holiday season :) I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your wonderful support throughout this past year! Also, a very special thank you to my Drift Off Premium subscribers! You make my heart happy and you help me stay inspired to keep this podcast going! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Whatever makes you happy...whatever brings you joy...may it all be yours in 2024!
Tonight we're going to embark on a journey of relaxation as we prepare both mind and body for a restful snooze. I will be reading a delightful short story by Canada’s most treasured authors, Lucy Maud Montgomery. She’s the author of the beloved “Anne of Green Gables” series and her work encapsulates her talent for creating vivid imagery while evoking a sense of nostalgia. As we welcome a brand new year, I’ve chosen to read Bertie’s New Year and I hope you enjoy it!
Happy New Year my sleepy listeners! May you have the sweetest dreams the whole year through! Cheers to you all!
Your friend,
Joanne
