Long ago, I found myself with my best friend, taking a spontaneous drive up the Pacific Coast Highway all the way to the redwoods. The fog was thick late in the night and it was the most serene and inspiring place for sleep. May you find respite here as well.

It’s literally like a present when you post a new video. It feels like something you did just for me. As always I adore your content. I haven’t slept without your stories in my ears for months and months. It’s at the point that idk what I would do without your channel. I want you to know that the awesome work you do has changed my life...
Ir s a gift she has and does just for us, of love, you can hear the care and that's why she shares these thoughtful creations that lead us by the hand, in our mind, to special places and times. i don't know how I'd've made it through without her presence. I'm especially excited for this one that will go so nicely with the other fog excursion that carries me feeling dearly all I miss & love (& have memorized her guiding words after listening so many times) I agree, it has changed my life, perhaps saved my life. I don't know how I'd be making it through wothought this talented friend I've met only by voice and meeting like minds. Glad ou paths have crossed in such a wonderful way, peace love, and strength.
You all are going to make me tear up-- thank you-- it is an honour to have a place I can share my creativity and hopefully help in this often fickle and challenging world. Sweet dreams!
I live in California and I go to the redwoods every summer. Here in the city it would be so hot in the summer, but in the redwoods it is always cool and the air is fresh. It doesn’t rain much so the redwoods get most of their moisture from the fog. I am always awestruck by how tall they can grow and how long they live. We also get wildfires pretty much every year, and the redwoods can survive those! They usually just get a hole in their trunk. It is really amazing, peaceful and serene. Thank you so much for bringing me back to those amazing memories of being in the redwoods Michelle ❤
I've been to the Redwoods many times, but my favorite time was with my dad. He wanted a picture of the trees from a completely new perspective and got a gorgeous one by laying on the ground and shooting up through wildflowers. But my favorite picture is the one I took of him wearing his cowboy hat and standing in front of it huge tree ❤️ Thanks for taking me back to that wonderful day!
This is great, thank you! I chose to take my Lily Kitty along as my companion today. I lost her three years ago. She used to insist on being let out into the yard for playtime 😄, just like a 🐕! It was delightful to have her tagging along.
I love that you took her along-- and I always hope that when someone listens they use these stories as a way to bring along those who are with us in spirit. So sorry for your loss-- and hope she continues to join you on these adventures and in your dreams.
I listened to this last night. You did an amazing job. I grew up near the redwood forests and drove through them every day. I was able to visualize my favorite grove and relax to your soothing voice. Thank you Michelle. This was like a slice of home for me.
This is my favorite by far ! I listen EVERY night almost .. i LOVE the crickets and crackling fire ... and the sequoia forest is a very special place . Thank you Michelle ! More like this please !
Yes I’ve got my ideal companion, you describe the perfect location, add the campfire among the swirling fog, I’m on my way. Well I would be if California wasn’t 5,200 miles away...
Hope you were able to get some rest-- our minds can be soothing and remarkable when it comes to invoking good feelings and adventures. We just have to remember that from time to time! Sweet dreams! 💜
Im imagining the cold i feel is from the fog rather than the frost outside my window. Almost minus 3 degrees Celsius earlier, not as cold as it has been but definitely cold enough to stoke up the fire. Blessings from Australia, Dot
Wow-- get cozy then! And in NYC I had to install my air conditioner this weekend. Which is always a challenge from the fourth story with a very curious and brazen cat. Sweet dreams and stay warm! 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary i can just imagine you juggling an air conditioner, tools and a cat that wants to explore. You gave me a heart in my favourite colour! Thanks for replying. Hope your summer isnt as bad as our was over Christmas. My family almost cancelled Christmas because of the bushfires, they were stopped within 600 metres of the edge of the town. Stay cool and safe, Blessings, Dot
Haha-- the only froggy night I have for listening is this one: ruclips.net/video/6nAU4V0IL20/видео.html. Your comment though is making me want to listen to Kermit sing "The Rainbow Connection." Sweet dreams!

Same girl, same 🥰

same here
Me too, lolo’. Nobody tells/writes soothing stories as good -nobody. She’s a musician too. I wonder if Michelle draws/paints?

What a beautiful memory! I love that image and am glad you were able to connect with this while listening!

Love that it has NO music . I love the sound of the fire crackling . Rain is nice too . I find background music keeps me awake .
That’s good for me to know when creating new stories. Sweet dreams 💜

I hear you and will definitely create more like this in the future! Sweet dreams!
I love walking through the mystical forest before bed 🌈
I hope it leads to mystical dreams! 💜
@@MichellesSanctuary it does!
I love foggy nights I'm excited for this one thank you for everything and stay safe! God bless😊🤗
Me too-- especially when it's time to go to sleep! Sweet dreams!
I want to do this all the way up north to Vancouver! 💜🙏
That would be nice!
Just added to my sleep playlist for tonight. Love your work!!
Thank you, Christian! 💜
Just in time! I'll do my happy dance on my bed before snugglin up
I thought I was the only one that did that! 💜
Thank you so very much for doing my request. I can't wait to listen to it tonight. You're the best!
This is one of my favorites, which is saying a lot since I love all of your meditations! Thank you so much!
Not even waiting for tonight -taking a 3 pm siesta!
This sounds remarkably familiar to me-- napping just feels right these times! 💜
Yes I’ve got my ideal companion, you describe the perfect location, add the campfire among the swirling fog, I’m on my way. Well I would be if California wasn’t 5,200 miles away...
I’ll send ya a post card 😁
California Dreamin' just came on my playlist today. And while it is sunny and beautiful in New York today, that song always gets me. Sweet dreams! 💜
Michelle, just a few notes of “California Dreaming” and you’re in 60s West Coast heaven. I know what you mean implicitly about this song getting you.
I’m listening while doing my makeup for the day...omg , incredibly good. 💕💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🌱
Thank you! Sweetest of dreams! 💜💜
I really enjoyed the inclusion of a companion. I had a lot of fun with that arguing who should wear the huge backpack.
This made me laugh-- and that's why traveling with others can be such a blast. Although, I tend to often be the one carrying someone else's stuff!
Thank you, looking forward to going back to my favorite place/time, even if it's only in my mind.
Bless you dear Michelle, as ever grateful.
Just might get some sleep... tonight

You sound a lot like Raven Reads.. wow!
Just checked her out-- what a cool channel!
@@MichellesSanctuary yeah! I use both of your channels to fall asleep! You cure insomnia 9/10 times. Thank you 💟
I read that as "froggy night."
Haha-- the only froggy night I have for listening is this one: ruclips.net/video/6nAU4V0IL20/видео.html. Your comment though is making me want to listen to Kermit sing "The Rainbow Connection." Sweet dreams!
LOL now I see Froggy too 🐸😂
Frankly, I would love that too

Wait wasn’t camp Redwood the name of the camp in American Horror Story 1984? 😳
Was it? I haven't seen that season yet. Ooohh...
Michelle's Sanctuary: Sleep Meditations & Stories I think so but it’s all good because I love AHS 😁
