My friend Y took me to a thrift store, and she told me to ‘just try’ this beautiful leather jacket on while we shopped. You look soooooo gooood, she said. Fifteen times. Of course, peer pressure got me and I bought it! Sympathies for my credit card bill when it arrives. 

Then we went outside and got drenched in the rain, weaving through dimly lit, mostly empty patios…

And I realized that I felt a little hot again.

The jacket worked. I loved it. In comparison to this last year, this moment felt like an exuberant lovely star.

I’m putting this energy into the universe. Here’s to all of us finding our joy again!
