#252 - The Journey South

In this original story for the inaugural episode of the Listen To Sleep Mountain series, we’ll follow a flock of band-tailed pigeons on their 900 mile migration from Vancouver to the oak forests of Northern California.

In 2023, every month, I’m going to read at least one original story for you that I wrote myself. The stories are about life here on the mountain, ours as well as all the animals, with some fiction and maybe even a little fantasy woven in. For these episodes, I’ll be reading each story twice, once at my normal pace and then once again a bit slower, much the same way Kathryn Nicolai does with her original stories about the village of Nothing Much in her wonderful bedtime story podcast, Nothing Much Happens. She has been such an inspiration and a friend to me and if you haven’t yet heard her podcast, I highly recommend it. You can find it at https://www.nothingmuchhappens.com.

It's your support that allows me to be your bedtime storyteller and meditation guide. For just $4.99 a month, you'll have immediate access to the entire archive of over 350 episodes and all the weekly stories & meditations a day earlier. By popular request, you can now listen to the stories, meditations and audiobook chapters all organized into their own separate, easy-to-use feeds. Even on Spotify. :). To join or learn more, visit https://listentosleep.supportingcast.fm.

When you join my free newsletter, every month I'll send you a story about something I’ve learned living here on the mountain along with some tips to help you get a better night’s sleep and a little more peace during the day. You’ll also get a free sleepy audiobook and a relaxing 30 minute recording of the creek behind my cabin when you join. Just go to https://www.listentosleep.com/blog/category/newsletter/.

You can also leave a tip or buy a shareable audiobook of the longer books I read on Listen To Sleep Plus. It's a great way to support the podcast and get some extra bedtime stories without a monthly subscription. Each one is available to own for just $5.50 as chapterized mp3s that will play on any MP3 player. You can find them at https://www.listentosleep.com/store.

Sleep well.💜
