Well it's 9pm here in Texas. I'm about to check out The Summer Storm... I go to sleep listening to your voice every night. I am never disappointed... I love that you share a new story with us every week.. I always look forward to it. Have a great week!!!
Thank you for being part of this sanctuary, Melissa. And thanks for your kind words! It's a fun journey to come up with something new each week. I never know in advance where I will take us.
My goodness! This is so it. Her voice really puts you to sleep, quickly. I was recommended by the Ambulance Team, to check you out on here. Thank you, Mrs. Michelle S. !!!!🙌🏽😍😍👌🏽#TOTALBLESSING
Hi, Michelle. This is amazing. I loved the vivid descriptions that give a realistic sense of immersion, being there. This is truly a call to slow down and breathe…deeply. You made me do just that. Thank you!
My pleasure-- the low country is one of my favourite places, where the heat is so intense you must slow down. But I certainly am enjoying the lovely break in humidity that is allowing a breeze to billow my curtains and for my air conditioner to take a well-deserved break.
Hi Michelle, I have been listening to your stories for about 2 months. I am sleeping better and for the last 42 days I have been able to focus on my overall health and wellness. ❤️☮️🦋🌻
Thanks for being part of this sanctuary! And congratulations on focusing on your overall health, Francine! It’s a privilege to be part of your sleep journey! 💜
Thank you for what you do, never have I needed to escape more than I do right now. Thank you for giving me that opportunity 💜 keep doing what you're doing x
You are so welcome and I am sorry life has upped your need for an escape. I hope you always find that in this sanctuary and the sanctuary of your mind. Sweet dreams!
These really are the best ones. I’ve listened to “The Tropical Storm” over 50 times. It is the only way I can fall asleep. The imagery of a warm shower always gets me to sleep
Hi Michelle hope you and your family are doing well it has been a long work week and I am really looking forward to a restful relaxing night I am looking forward to the story thank you
Michelle this sounds wonderful I can't wait to listen tonight! It's kind of been a rough Journey recently, so I feel this will be amazing and help me..Time for us to all dream of way soon. I listen to you often. Blessings for a beautiful new week💖✌🙏
I'm sorry things have been rough lately. Sending you encouragement and hope this helps you dream away. Have a great week as well and thank you for being part of this sanctuary!
I finally ventured out to Naples Beach with my daughter today and ended the night with a fun night out with family 🥰 Unfortunately she goes back up to school tomorrow but I look forward to a September weekend up There watching her play in the University marching band 😊 I really hope I can reverse all The damage I did this summer to my body and get back to that zen place I remained in all Winter! I think in FL some of us get the opposite of New England seasonal affective disorder because it’s too hot and humid to spend any time outside. Just a theory 🤷🏼♀️
I hope that all winter you can recuperate and I completely understand what you are saying. The weather in NYC has been so oppressive for weeks of high humidity and nights that don't get cooler than the mid-80s. A few times the bus stop thermometer said it was 104. Glad you were able to have a fun night with family!
@@MichellesSanctuary Girl me too! I just came out of my “cave” After the surgery a year ago and I think I’m just overwhelmed with all The feelings around, especially being an empath. I did not realize grown women in the circle I thought were my new friends could be so viscous
Still love this one Michelle. Fishy reminds me of my mums dad, Grandpa (Frank) . He loved to go fishing as often as possible. Grandpa was a carpenter but he loved riding his bicycle a few blocks to the beach to catch what he could early in the morning and having fresh fish at lunchtime or dinner. He would donate whatever he couldn't use to a family in need or to his local church. My favourite childhood memories of Grandpa was of having to crawl under his bed just before lunchtime, to see what he had caught fresh that morning. It was the coolest place in the house to keep his catch... One time a crab he had in a bucket escaped and was only found because it started to smell. My mum said plenty of times when she was a girl she would go fishing with her dad and her 3 sisters. Grandpa was 7 foot tall but he had a gentle way about him, my favourite grandparent and always surrounded by animals, willing to chase after all his grand kids. We played "afternoon tea party picnic" with him. He told the best stories. Grandparents are a blessing. Just like your videos are to me Michelle. Blessings, Dot
This sounds absolutely beautiful-- they really are. There is no relationship like one with grandparents who are kind and gentle. I'm so fortunate to have had them myself. Thank you for sharing this Dot-- it made me smile and think of my own beautiful memories.
I probably listen to this one here or in the rainy day collection more than any of the others. Even though I love all of your stories and meditations. I gravitate to the ones I can bring my dogs along in my dream journey. But this one is like a perfect day with my dog kinda day and she snuggles in as soon as she hears you say “The dog days of August”.
After spending an unseasonably warm day at the beach with my dog, I completely understand this! I love this so much and hope you both continue to dream away and enjoy adventures in real life and in these stories together!
Dear Michelle, thank you for another beautifully detailed story. Every image is so uplifting. Wonderful to listen to the rain after 8 weeks of hot sun and drought. We did have rain today, however. 💕🙏🏻
I’m so glad the rain arrived! A long time ago when I performed as a singer-songwriter, no matter where or when I had a show it would rain. And often a lot. My producer and I would joke that instead of being touted as a singer I could promote shows as a rainmaker.
Thank you Michelle for another amazing sleep story! Listening to your soothing voice and stories are what keeps me calm each night. You are such a talented person, to be able to help so many people who need and rely on your channel for comfort! I can't thank you enough for sharing your amazing stories each week. I always know if I'm having an off week I can look for your newest story to bring me the calm and happiness I need. Thank you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you 🌸 I give out all that I wish the world had more of. Appreciation for rest, sleep, dreams, inner peace, and our power to imagine better. I'm happy for every second someone is willing to come along for the journey.
I loved everything about this story, all the way to the details of colors and textures. The only thing that I had a problem with was that the rain and thunder could have been a little louder. I am hard of hearing and I find it hard to sleep in ear buds. But, love the cadence and tone of your voice! Namaste!
Write a book a novel or novella a romance or a juicy romance or a mystery or a coming of age with wonderous epiphanies in it. Write and publish self publish if you want or make an audio book. If your not going to sing write a book. I’m sorry I borrowed Jack as my pup but he kept whining for mommy and he snored very loudly for such a wee boy. I love the outer banks, never been there except in stories or films but it is dreamy. I giggled from your southern accent. The images painted by your words are sublime lots of new metaphors and tactile stuff it’s terrific. How come your eyes aren’t moving as if your reading is this just flowing from brain to voice? Happy Sunday.
I memorize pieces or bits so as to not stare at the screen. The audio is always recorded and edited before I add a video element. I've been adding this video overlay for reasons that involve the powers that be at RUclips. The added bonus is you get to see my face! I will write a novel at some point... and a memoir. As for singing, there have been a few possible deals moving slowly but one day there will be more. Life is so busy I can only handle so much. Borrow Jack anytime.... he is becoming a snorer later in life. He enjoyed a boat ride this weekend (by enjoy, he smartly hid beneath a towel-covered seat to avoid the sun and being put in the cool water).
@@MichellesSanctuary life goes by very quickly don’t procrastinate. Novels are somewhat memoirs start with that. Just sit down and start writing let it go into the direction it takes you. You can tackle any genre you want. We are all in need of fiction. As for singing don’t emulate anyone but yourself. There is one video of you singing some ditty from a play I forget what it was you had a few off comments which I thought were unnecessary because your range was yours clear clean and musical. Rely on your natural talent. The joy of music is the joy you feel doing it. The best musicians I’ve known were satisfied by what they did. They strived for better but they knew that what they produced whether it be by voice or keyboard or saxophone was intrinsically satisfying. If these things are joyful to you- don’t wait do them. Time is relative and finite Now if only I could listen to myself.
I really like your bedtime stories. Unfortunately, for me anything over 2hrs has the opposite effect. I drift off initially and then wake up to turn it off. Id love to listen to this if you do a shorter version in the future. ❤

Brilliant, I am saving this for soon. I literally get to nap because of you. I can't thank you enough.
I love that you are napping because of me-- I am ready for a nap myself! Hope you ahve a wonderful week ahead!
Oh, how I love rain and thunder! I was out in minutes 😂
Loved it Michelle!! It's only 7.45pm here in Ireland so I will listen to it again later tonight in bed 💞
Hope you have a wonderful sleep tonight! Thank you!

Thanks for this feedback-- when I listened on headphones it sounded terrifying so I may have lowered a bit too much. Sweet dreams!
Can you do a story about the stars? Or a story about a cruise
Yes, I need to create both. What about the stars-- would you want to travel through space? Experience anything in particular?
Write a book a novel or novella a romance or a juicy romance or a mystery or a coming of age with wonderous epiphanies in it. Write and publish self publish if you want or make an audio book.

I think this one is just an hour and 11 minutes. How long would you like it to be?
@MichellesSanctuary the video said 4 hours, hence the message. 1hr 11 would be ok. I do look forward to sunday evenings for your new releases
