any and all reading recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I hope that in this year to come you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and most importantly, you’re doing something. So that’s my wish. Don’t freeze, don’t stop. Don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect. Whatever it is; art or work or love or family or life. Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes...next year, and forever. -Neil Gaiman.

Yesterday’s solar halo sighting.
I thought I was dreaming...it was so surreal & this photo doesn’t do it ANY justice but I’ve never seen anything like it and I am still blown away by seeing this magic. Thank you nature for being so incredible. ...After realizing it was in fact real life, I found out this sometimes happens due to super low temps and the specific flat shape of snow crystals reflected the sun. A rare and beautiful optical phenomenon.
