Valentine’s Day is about more than romance. It’s a holiday for celebrating all the love in our lives, including the deep and abiding love we are cultivating for ourselves.

Keep caring deeply, including for yourself. Keep your fire burning. But pace yourself; do not burn out or burn up. Do not become a pyre.

I used to sell vintage with my dad, but sometimes I would fall for one of our finds and take it home.
This midcentury wood and brass starburst clock was one such item. It still works and was quite fun to draw.
