Let's believe it

Oh, hi friends!
What if you walked into today believing nothing will go wrong?
That the river will flow your way.
All your jokes will land.
Glitches and hiccups will pass right over you.
Huh. What an idea.
Even if it doesn’t work out, what’s the harm in a little belief?
Let’s give it a try.
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he'd had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”
True-blue advice I’ve leaned on for the past 13 years. From Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird.

A Toasty Cat You Should Know
OK, today’s the first day of fall, but the sun is still out and about right...riiiiight?
So I wanted to point you toward these cute 'n' fun visors made by my friend Val — they’re called Toasty Cat sport visors!! (Can you see the cat?) I bought one for myself and one for my mom for her morning walks. Can’t wait to wear mine running or playing tennis or...birdwatching?!
Go forth and see for yourself!
