I'm glad you thought so! It was such a privilege to share this one-- riding the cusp of spring is quite a time. And the spring rain is certainly making itself known this week! 🌸
Aww, every time you write a comment I am so grateful to be able to create and share these stories! I'm glad you enjoyed this one (definitely deeply personal since this experience is what got me through a Covid winter!).
saw this premiering around 4pm my time and I've been thinking about it all day - I've woken back up and it's 3am so this should do the trick to help me get back to sleep ahead of what's probably going to be a very intense therapy session tomorrow. this is much needed after another week in which I've felt like an imitation of myself. thank you Michelle ❤️
Keep doing the best you can, there is a light shining in there that will lead you out. I've not been an imitation of myself, but I have been reckoning with some dark patterns that I am using to create as much as I can. All that contrast is there for a reason--- it just isn't always apparent. Just finished the script for a story "Imagine Better" I hope to release on the new channel Weds. Sending love, as always. 🌸
@@MichellesSanctuary Yes, these early Spring days have wonderful energy and light. The healing power of your words and voice is tremendous and much needed in this turbulent world. ❤️

I just finished listening to your midnight flowers bedtime story, and as always, it was divine. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and I love the variety of bedtime stories and meditations that you’ve created so far. You have the ability to transport a person somewhere that they have never been, and make them feel like they’ve been there before. I was wondering if I could use one of your bedtime stories for a podcast episode that I’m gonna do? I’m going to do an episode about the Sakura festival, and I was wondering if I could use your cherry blossom bedtime story as part of that. I hope you’re doing well, thank you so much Michelle for these exquisite bedtime stories and guided meditations. Many blessings to you.
Thank you, my dear! I don't know if there may be a conflict as I have been releasing all these stories as podcasts already? Maybe you could use a clip and mention it to your audience to head over here for more? What's the name of your podcast? And thank you for being here for so long!
@@MichellesSanctuary when i do get to your part of the world, central park is at the top of my list, i feel like i know it so well now thanks to you taking us there with you, much love💖
What?! Was it on autoplay and maybe a following video? I just checked and no ads are scheduled to run at the end. Also, if you ever want you can listen to my podcast weekly-- no ads EVER on the back end. It's on all podcast platforms. So sorry that happened!
@Michelle's Sanctuary: Sleep Stories & Meditations I woke up to an ad loudly playing in my ear (headphones)!!. (it was a single play, not a playlist). So I'm fumbling around trying to get my phone to STOP the loudness, & ANOTHER one came on before I could stop it! Idk what the heck happened, but I knew you'd never do that. 🤷♀️ I definitely blame TH-cam. Or gremlins or elves...
Your content is just terrific ! Thank you so much. When l can't sleep due to years long pain & have no one l can talk to , I go to your channel because l need the beautiful distraction. Thank you again & be well 🦋
Thank you, Dori-- I'm so sorry for your pain and I hope that you continue to enjoy these stories and find peace. You deserve it-- and to keep using your imagination to self-soothe. Thank you for writing!
This was amazing, Michelle. I loved it all, including the Imagine memorial and the liberated flowers. You really took us on a gentle adventure. Thank you! Blessings ❤️🌟
@@MichellesSanctuary I can really feel your joy in liberating those flowers from the trash! I can totally imagine feeling down and then having all this beauty explode right in your home! The stories told from life are always the best. It's the little details that really make us feel like we're there. For most of us, New York is a mysterious place, so your stories based there really transport me. I am a huge fan of the Cozy Laundrette series as well.
@@blackbirdatnight it's magical-- I rescued three orchid plants and dozens of sunflowers and they are coming back to life today. There is so much beauty in the world that is overlooked-- it's always a delight to find it and share it in a story.
So do I. But these flowers were discarded and best to not let them be wasted. And as I have learned from saving roses, you can plant them in soil and propagate them to become rose bushes.
I’ve been a broken flower off/on these past 8-years; I had NO SLEEP WHATSOEVER the night before my mother’s birthday, Dec. 10, 2022. I wrecked my car later that evening, but for airbags, I’d’ve died bleeding ~1:00 AM. I began listening to Michelle more and more this year. I’m like one of her re-propagated roses now. I love Michelle.

Thanks for the feedback, Dave-- it helps me to know this as I create new stories!

Ah, the rain and ambience are just perfect. 💙🙏
I'm glad you thought so! It was such a privilege to share this one-- riding the cusp of spring is quite a time. And the spring rain is certainly making itself known this week! 🌸
@@MichellesSanctuary It is hot and dry in the UK which is very against the grain!
I loved this! The beauty of flowers surprises us in many unexpected ways. I am now planning for my wildflower garden, and this inspired me. Thank you!
How wonderful! I have a new batch of sunflowers and orchids that are making me smile. It's amazing how much flowers can change one's mood and energy.
Thank you Michelle
Thank you!
That was a beautiful story.
Colors, scents, shapes.
All take the brain on a derailment of life’s snares.
You are a cerebral magician 😲😳🏆

A most special story.Lovely🌟
It may be not-so-loosely based on my winter adventures!
Wow! Midnight flowers? Never knew that before... I'm all in! Can't wait!! 🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻
I hope you enjoy it, Aida!

Hi Michelle I'm looking forward to this story I hope all is well your way😊
Thank you-- it is a rainy day in the city so a perfect day to upload this!
Hi Michelle, I’m very much looking forward to this. It sounds heavenly. Thank you so much 🙏🏻💖.
I hope you enjoy it-- I tried to capture this transitional period into Spring.

Epic. I’m a big Lennon fan. ☮️
Me too and draw on his artistic inspiration whenever I walk by the Dakota or Strawberry Fields.
Beautiful n calming me down as feeling really down n useless as fell n broke my wrist n can't do anything
I'm so sorry! I wish you a speedy recovery-- I can imagine how frustrating that must be. Take care of yourself, Denise!
@@MichellesSanctuary thanks Michelle ❤️
Love your stories. Old childhood friend? What a concept.
The best kind to have sometimes.
@@MichellesSanctuary I would have loved having you as a childhood friend.

I love it when you take us through central park, sounds perfect Michelle 💖 💖
It's beautiful this time of year-- my beloved Forget-Me-Nots came back and pepper my favourite hill with purple petals.
@@MichellesSanctuary when i do get to your part of the world, central park is at the top of my list, i feel like i know it so well now thanks to you taking us there with you, much love💖
@@MichellesSanctuary I don't know that I'd like to walk there at midnight though! :)
I listen to this story almost EVERY NIGHT. ❤
This sounds wonderful! I look forward to listening.
Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you! Hope they help you to dream away.

Almost forgot about this 😬
Glad you remembered! Hope you enjoy it.
Goodnight 🌙
Sweet dreams!
Midnight flower, all in, can't wait!!!
Hope you enjoy it, Alan!
@@MichellesSanctuary Love 💕😘 it, great job!!!
I prefer potted plants, because then they are still growing and still alive, instead of dead, they're the best, keep nature alive, don't pick flowers
