Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

Our story tonight is called Dogs and Dust Mops, and it’s a story about some spring cleaning on a warm afternoon. It’s also about an orange kitty in the window, the sound of the vacuum running upstairs, fresh sheets, scrabbling paws on the deck, and the way your heart swells when you wrap your arms around someone you love. We give to a different charity each week, and we are giving to BeHeard Movement this week [https://beheardmovement.org/].

Our story tonight is called Rain on the Lake, and it’s a story about a sudden arrival of drops and dark clouds on a spring afternoon. It’s also about a broach in a jewelry box, the smell of rain mixing with lake water, mist, and lamps lit in the darkness, memories of rainbows and rowboats, and taking rest as showers move across the horizon. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to United 24 [https://u24.gov.ua/], which works to Unite the world around supporting Ukraine in an effort to protect, save, and rebuild.

Originally presented as Episode 23 of Season 13, March 18, 2024 Our story tonight is called Out Like a Lamb, and it’s a story about the changeable month of March and a day spent enjoying a bit of both winter and spring. It’s also about a book read in the bath, the luxury of a slow start to the day, sunlight warming the floorboards, a pot of pansies dusted with snow and making peace with a bit of chaos, in and out.

Our story tonight is called Bike Bus, and it’s a story about a joyful ride to school on a spring day. It’s also about a dog enjoying a sunny patch on the lawn, neighbors on porches, music playing from a bike basket, paper sack lunches, and the joy of a trip taken together. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to a group and movement that inspired tonight’s story. They are called Bike Bus World [https://bikebus.world/] and they transform communities and our planet through the simple act of riding bikes to school together. * AquaTru Water Purifier [https://aquatruwater.com/]: 20% OFF  with code NOTHINGMUCH. * Beam Dream Powder [https://shopbeam.com/NOTHINGMUCH]: 40% off with code NOTHINGMUCH. * BIOptimizers’ Sleep Breakthrough [https://bioptimizers.com/nothingmuch]: Use code NOTHINGMUCH for 10% off any order! * Cymbiotika products [https://cymbiotika.com/Nothingmuch]: 20% off and free shipping! * Moonbird [https://moonbird.life/nothingmuchhappens]: Save 20% on the world’s first handheld breathing coach!
