A song I’m loving:

Movement, 35mm film

I didn’t prepare a letter this week, or work on one ahead of time. I gathered the links you’ll find at the end and picked out the photo, the rest of my draft space blank until now, 6:56am. This month has been, and will continue to be, very full. But instead of skipping altogether, I want to practice practicing and share what came up for me after my husband gave me a gift yesterday. I spent the morning in San Francisco (more on that in the coming weeks) and came home to this sweet button he found at an estate sale, from what I would guess is the 70’s, that brought tears to my eyes. “I immediately knew I had to get it for you,” he said.
