As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

We endured strong winds & sleet showers, we were wet and cold, but the light made it worth it. The skies opened, the magic happened, & we rushed to capture the awe inspiring beauty! Tombstone, Yukon, Canada.⁠

🐕 🚶 📷 📱 📸 🍂 🩸

Scarlet leaves cling tenderly to a pale, textured wall, their winding vines tracing delicate, hand-drawn stories across the surface. The rich red foliage glows like scattered love notes caught in a quiet moment of autumn, softening the stark backdrop with a touch of wild, wistful beauty. (Who writes this stuff?!)

A simple scene from a remote black sand beach in Iceland.

A portrait-format, black and white photo of a pool of water on a black sand beach. The light catches the edge of the sand in a line that leads towards distant mountains reflected in the water.

May we all find the fortitude, strength, and courage to stand up to the injustice and criminality currently plaguing our country and this world unchecked.

We need a massive change. It isn’t going to come from the rich and politically connected or politicians unless they are forced to.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.

Share it widely.

Ireland most northern point, Malin Head, in County Donegal. Always stunning to stand on the edge of these cliffs, just taking in that beauty.

I just love this photo taken a year ago from my balcony. A tree in the fall, no leaves left, it’s bark bathed in the evening sun.
