Tender story and look forward to continuing it. Much appreciation for sharing!

Just a perfect story all around. The combination of Glenda’s voice, the detailed descriptions, and a good plot line just put me to sleep so fast I can’t even remember where I was before falling asleep.

Always works to put me to sleep. Other half hour stories are not enough. Thank you.

Perfect,😴 its the second time, but I'm going to have to listen to it again I haven't heard through to the end as I dropped off 😂

Thankyou Glenda. That was beautiful. I've newly started doing your meditations andi love them. I love your very calm and soothing voice that really helps me to sleep at night.
