A Sacred Garden with the Angels + the Story of Griffith Park

Enjoy this replay of episode 146!

🌟 Welcome back to Sleepy Bedtime Blessings, where we offer soothing stories and angelic insights to help you relax and unwind. In this episode, the angels bring forth beautiful inspiration and encouragement for your co-creative endeavors. We make space for your prayers and intentions to be received in the loving heart of the Divine.

🌈 Then, join me as we take a trip down memory lane and explore some childhood memories. We'll also explore the gap between my magical thinking of it would be easy to learn to ice skate or ride a horse only to be faced with the reality that these endeavors took hard work (not my favorite thing). Having this body would not be as easy as I had thought it would be. We'll also discover the joys of watching Bozo's Circus on WGN every day at 12 pm and the brilliance of the Grand Prize Game!

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.


And also a heartfelt heavenly shoutout of gratitude to my parents who were always willing to send me to classes for the activities I wanted to learn. Thanks, mom + dad!  ❤️🙏

💜 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. 💤💕

📖 Storytime takes us on a delicious journey back to 1939 to the neighborhood of Sauganash in Chicago, IL, through the pages of a community cookbook that's a foodie's dream. 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. 🍞💖
