#180 - Extra Men

For Mother’s Day, a story from 1918 about a grandmother who helps a troop of soldiers headed to the Great War.

Yesterday Bodhi and I went out for a walk in the Spring rain and I thought about how all the birds and flowers of spring remind me that each day is a new opportunity for change. I made a little video about it, and if you like to see that, it’s on my Tiktok and Instagram. If you'd like to see it, it's up on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@listentosleep or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/.

I very much enjoyed being on Chris Thompson's Unfiltered Friends podcast recently. We talked about how to live a happier life and I answered a lot of questions about what life on the mountain is like. You can find it anywhere you get your podcasts or listen on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/episode/33WBOEUX8cZzcGyjJtyOe8?si=717e23a6bcfb4f60.

If the podcast helps you sleep, would you consider supporting it with $3 a month? You'll get new episodes a day earlier with no ads or introductions, an immediate download of the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland audiobook and you'll be helping me to get closer to realizing my dream of having Listen To Sleep be my full-time endeavor. You can join or find more information at https://www.listentosleep.com/support/.

You can also buy a shareable audiobook of the longer books I read on Listen To Sleep Plus. It's another way to support the podcast and get some extra bedtime stories without a monthly subscription. Each one is available to own for just $5.50 as chapterized mp3s that will play on any MP3 player. You can find them at https://www.listentosleep.com/store.

You can read this story (and other classics from the public domain) by downloading it for free at https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/39635.

Sleep well.💜

Erik
