{pink azaleas on a wednesday afternoon}

. . . a brisk walk first thing this morning and four cups of coffee later, and there's a perfect tangle of beautiful things floating around in thoughts today, after playing with notions of wildly adventurous plans that could change everything, and there is an unmistakable feeling of being on the brink of something spectacular . . . but for now, it's back to work, and perhaps, finding a way to channel all the excitement into inspiration . . .

happy wednesday! hope you're having a wonderful week so far xo
