Picture
In this bedtime story we journey with Claire ​as she reflects on memories of winter and a Christmas Eve with 82 year old Hanna, the sheep farmer.  As Claire reminisces, it becomes evident that the theme for setting her New Year's intention centers on deepening her connection with the wise beings who have "gone before."

This story is set to a classical piece by Erik Satie and performed by Sherry Shie, as well as another lovely track by Sabertone. Both from Pond 5.
​
Quotes from the Bible, Rumi, Albert Camus and an inspiring poem about ancestors by Gloria Burgess.
Listener Feedback

'Lovely! First time I ever made it through! Memories! Such a gift. Visualization, extraordinary & background sounds, delightful. Soothing, stirring and much enjoyed! Thank you! 🙏🏼💞"

"I listened to this the last few nights and fell asleep under the spell of your gentle voice before it was over. So this morning I made it to the end. So very sweet. You have a lovely gift of storytelling. I felt like a child again being read to by my mother or some other loving presence. Thank you!"

"Glenda, all of your meditations help me sleep so soundly. Your voice is so soothing and I feel like I’m a child again being read to before bedtime. The covers are snuggled up around my neck and I listen to adventures while I drift off."


"I absolutely love your stories Glenda. This one really touched me at the end. My mom, dad and only sibling are gone. My stepdad, who was my true father, he just recently passed at 94. I am 64 and I still miss them all so much that it hurts. 
Your beautiful story gave me a better way to think about them, with inspiration, rather than pain. 
This has opened a whole new path for me. 
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with us."


"Many Thanks and Blessings to you for this beautiful bedtime story. I love the way you paint a picture with your words and it makes me feel like I am experiencing it all myself❣️😇"
