I really REALLY like all of these stories, I need to listen to them during the day sometime so I can hear the endings 😂thank you for doing such an awesome job!

I’m sure it’s lovely and another wonderful story from you. However, like normal I only heard the first couple of minutes so I will have to listen to it a bunch of times just like all your others. Thank you again for sharing your stories and continuing to produce new ones!

A delightful blend of Fantasy in reality it sent me off to sleep with a smile on my face as always. I’ll be sad when I have listened to all of them. As always, I never make it to the end so I’ll return to the library tonight. And it usually comes with a touch of synchronicity, as I was in a library this afternoon for the first time in a while looking for fiction to read at night. Of course the series is only partially fiction and that’s why I appreciate it so much.

All your stories are incredible and I go to sleep with them every night. And then I fall asleep before the ending so I play it again and eventually I reached the conclusion. They are beautiful. They are Spiritual and I am grateful.

Helps me sleep every time, I have almost never stayed awake the whole time despite listening ~50 nights, and usually taking 30 or more minutes to fall asleep. Laurel's voice is soothing and the story telling is fun enough to hold my attention and bring me joy if I can't sleep but calm enough to prevent the latter.
