Something different today. Couldn’t find a good photo taken on February 10 but this was scanned on February 10, 2018. Taken in the late 1960s. I’m about to get on a train. But where? Any guesses? #vintagephoto #trains #mysterylocation #1960s #americana #alongthisroad

This week's Substack is for my dear friend Celia. It's about facing down long-held habits of perfectionism and procrastination. It's about all the ways we lie to ourselves. And mostly, it's about facing our bad habits through Love to change ourselves and the world. #livingLove
