WANT A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP?
On Thursday at 6 PM, our labradoodle Max took us for a walk to Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It was windy, and the ocean looked wild and restless. Not many people were around—just a few dogs, some fishermen, a handful of kids and runners, and a few birds to keep us company. The sky and sea were both shades of gray, and strangely beautiful. I managed to snap a few nice photos with my iPhone; three of them are featured here.
We wrapped up our walk in about 40 minutes, but the fresh ocean air was enough to leave us feeling calm and ready for bed. Theoretically, we could do this every day—get outside, breathe in the salty air, and enjoy nature. But of course, life happens. Evening routines get busy, and our priorities shift.
Luckily, my wife and I have found a simple tool that helps us sleep well—even when we can’t get to the beach.
So, what’s this magic sleep aid?
It’s not a supplement or a gadget. It’s a book. Yes, a book. It’s called Reflections: The Healing Images, and it’s designed to help guide you into deep, restful sleep. It only costs $19.97 on Amazon and can take as little as five minutes to work—no matter how stressful your day has been.
You might be skeptical. That’s fine. Just search my name on Amazon click on “Reflections” and read the reviews. Many people have shared how it’s helped them to relax and feel more rested the next day. Once you get the book, take a few minutes to try the relaxation techniques—and then let me know what you think. I’d love to hear your feedback.
In the meantime, enjoy a few of the photos from our beach walk. And remember: sleep is not a luxury—it’s part of living well. So, share what works, and care for yourself and others!
