I got up and fed Isabella at about 4:00 a.m. and then went back to sleep. I slept until after 6 a.m., which I rarely do, but it’s nice to sleep in sometimes.

Happy Valentine’s Day, dear friends—may you feel deeply loved today, whether that love comes from a partner, a friend, your chosen family, or the quiet, steadfast grace that reminds you you are worthy of love. 💕

❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️

Some people love to shop. Some people hate to shop.

I mostly enjoy it—as long as the store isn’t too crowded.

And even if shopping isn’t your thing, there’s always the quiet pleasure of people-watching.
