So, settle in and let the angels guide you to a place of peace and calm as we explore childhood memories and the magical thinking of a child's heart.

💜 Hello Loves. In this episode, I'm bringing you something a little different. This episode was recorded from our balcony when we were at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, CA. Our balcony was right off the beach so there are wonderful ocean sounds include the waves, the seagulls and other ambient noises. Also, I share with you a superbly  boring narration of what is transpiring on the beach the morning of the recording including my erroneous guess of the message the sand painter was creating. 

The volume is a bit louder than usual, so I don't recommend you put this into a nightlong playlist as the sound is a bit different than usual.

I hope you enjoy these ramblings from the beach. 💤💕

We're delving into bread recipes that are more than just instructions on a page; they're gateways to memories, tradition, and a taste of home. Prepare for virtual deliciousness that's sure to awaken a sense of nostalgia and warmth. 🍞💖

💜 Hi Sweet Friends - Laurel here  😇  I've decided to take a bit more time off during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. So here's a replay of episode #32 (from the early days of the podcast). Did you know we have almost two years of sleepy content in the archives? Lots of content to help bring you soothing comfort and love.  🧡

Then Laurel reads to you about old Hollywood (this time we mean the neighborhood, not the entertainment  industry) from the publication Holly Leaves. These issues were published in July 1922 and contains insights to the estate that would become the famous restaurant Yamashiro's, the early days of the Hollywood Bowl and Griffith Park and also how, if you were able to time travel, you could buy up desirable land in West Hollywood for the reasonable price of $1000 per lot.

 Hi Sweet Friends, Laurel here with another episode of Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. This episode was recorded in the wee hours of the morning and so, it's a bit extra-rambly. But the angels and I have lovely stuff for you.

We'll begin, as always, with a love infusion from the angels. They bring forth sweet soothing, clearing energy for you as you prepare to drift off to sleep.

Then, for storytime, I'm going to introduce you to the concept of "Kummerspeck".

What is it you ask?

Well, I was recently introduced to this wonderful German word that describes weight that is gained from emotional eating during a time of grief. Together we'll explore all the carb-heavy foods that are bringing me comfort right now, I'll invite you to a virtual Kummerspeck-worthy meal at Canter's Deli in Los Angeles. And because my comfort is not only coming through food right now, I'll also share with you about some of my adorable tiny crystal hearts.

 💜 Hi Sweet Ones. This is going to be a different kind of episode than you're used to from Sleepy Bedtime Blessings.  

My husband Wes and I have had the blessing of spending a few days at the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz, CA. The hotel is right on the beach. We're on the 4th floor and our balcony is over looking the beach and ocean.

This episode was recorded in the early morning hours during sunrise. The audio is fairly awful, but the content is sweet. Therefore I've decided to share it with you anyways. 

I'm not sure how sleep-inducing it will be. But you'll hear the sound of the ocean, seagulls and seal lions barking in the background. 

Please forgive the odd noises mostly caused by my microphone rubbing against my sweatshirt.

Enjoy! And I'll be back with the kind of episode you've come to expect in the next few days. 

💜 Hello, Beloved Souls. It's Laurel, your guide at Sleepy Bedtime Blessings, returning with another episode filled with soothing ramblings. 🌟😇

In this episode, we're opening our hearts to the angels, inviting waves of celestial love to surround us. We will explore the value of our peace prayers and the radiance of inner light. Join me as the angels gently embrace us with their heavenly energy. 😴💫

And now, for our storytime journey, I take you on a meandering 40-minute adventure filled with sweet, unassuming conversations. This isn't a riveting tale, but rather a cozy pajama party under our blanket fort here at Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. I'll share with you my latest creative endeavor, the Peace Angels in Midjourney, and introduce you to some of the tiny crystals that keep me company on my desk. It's all about gentle whispers and randomness, providing you with comforting company as you drift off to sleep. 🕊️💎

💜 Greetings, Beautiful Souls. This is Laurel, back with another episode of Sleepy Bedtime Blessings. 🌟😇

If you're up for a rambling and somewhat mundane journey, this episode was created just for you.

Naturally, we begin with a gentle wave of angelic love, ensuring that soothing, sweet, and cozy energies from your Divine Team of Angels wrap around you like a comforting cocoon (fingers crossed).

Then, I do my best to ramble for 37 minutes or so about the things I'm doing in an attempt to regulate my nervous system during this time of extreme upheaval in the world.  No, I won't be discussing the merits of meditation. Instead I'll be sharing with you about Sunday afternoon in my pajamas, continuing my obsession with shopping for crystals on TikTok, my delight in our new Asian supermarket in our town and other sweet distractions that are bringing me tiny moments of comfort.

Now, for our delightful storytime, I've prepared something a bit different. We're taking a not-so-exciting tour of my office in all it's earth-girl glory. Explore the old post-it notes with random messages I've yet to throw away, the books on my bookshelf I've never read, and the everyday stuff I keep out of sight of the camera.

Hi Sweet Friends- Enjoy this replay of episode #45 with this look back at the early days of Hollywood and the dream of Griffith Park.

Tonight's episode includes a beautiful attunement of Divine Joy brought to you by the angels. It's a lovely way to infuse your energy field with the vibrancy of vitality and light. Then Laurel reads to you about Hollywood in 1919 (the neighborhood, not the entertainment  industry) from the publication Holly Leaves.  This was when Griffith Park, the Greek Theater and the Griffith Observatory were still in the visioning state.  The land and plans were left to the city by Colonel Griffith. He had a big dream for the land. Thankfully, his dream came to fruition and Griffith Park became a well-loved, much-visited oasis in Los Angeles.

Hi Beautiful Friends-
I've been invited to take a little bit of time off this week to celebrate my birthday and unexpected time with family. Therefore, please enjoy this replay of episode #50 posted last year on my 60th birthday.
With Love,
Laurel

🌸 In this episode, the angels will help you experience the lovely energy of "stillness," infusing you with sweet soothing energies to help calm your mind and soul. Allow yourself to fully relax and be immersed in this peaceful energy. 🕊️

 🎬 Then, we'll flip through the December 1978 issue of TV Guide together, finishing out the listings for the week and perusing their crossword puzzle. This nostalgic journey will bring you lots of joy and sweetness as you drift off into dreamland. 💤

🕊️ As always, our cozy and calming atmosphere is perfect for winding down after a long day. So, wrap yourself up in your coziest blanket, and let the angels and I guide you into a peaceful slumber. 😴
