30 Days of Hypnosis

Challenge #1 – Day 16 – Hiccup

I didn’t sleep very well last night.  I can’t remember why, but I think I woke up a little while after I fell asleep and, because it was very abrupt, I woke up all panicky and freaked out…like I was sure I was going to get hit by a meteor and I couldn’t remember where [...]
