Kalo mina! February is for buying yourself flowers, lighting the good candles, adorning our typing fingers with jewels. It’s for hunkering down and doing the work you love.

Jack Kerouac, author of “On the Road,” used to kneel and pray before he began writing. His diaries are filled with prayers and drawings of crosses.
