Episode Description

The winter solstice. The dark coming early, the candles, the weight of blankets, the cold air on your face. And somewhere in there, the world beginning its slow turn back toward the light.

Happiness Spells is a five-minute list of good things. Small moments, specific and sensory. Listen with headphones on.

Written, recorded, and produced by Amanda Meyncke in Southern Oregon. Music by Chris Zabriskie, used under a CC license.
