Originally Aired: July 12th, 2020 (Season 6 Episode 1)

Our story tonight is called In the Map Room, and it’s a story about the pleasures of looking at the world drawn out on paper. It’s also about a gasp of koi fish in a pond, a bike ride that leads somewhere surprising, and the view from the upper room of an old house.

So get cozy and ready to sleep.

Having trouble sleeping?  Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

Our story tonight is called Lightning Bugs at Oxbow Lake, and it’s a story about an evening spent on soft pine needle paths beside the water. It’s also about cattails and crested herons, the changing paths of rivers, a small voice reminding you that you can, and the spell of a good night’s sleep.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Marine Mammal Center. The center's mission is to advance global marine conservation through rescue and rehabilitation, research, and education.

Our story tonight is called The Village Races, and it’s a story about a group of runners setting out on a bright, sunny morning. It’s also about butterflies and bagels, lucky numbers and picnic blankets, and the joy of being a part of something you’re proud of.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Lasagna Love. Their mission is simple: feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities.
