:: the weather outside...

as metro detroit is blanketed in a gentle covering of quilted snow, i sit inside-- toasty warm-- thinking. pondering. sipping tea. and dreaming of a world where every room bursts with these colors. where the vibrancy of my soul adequately flows through my actions and words.
where i am bright pink. bright green.

or perhaps. just bright.

:: the here and now

eating one of the amazing vegan cookies that were just delivered to my door.
sipping a cup of creamy coffee.
breathing deep before heading in for my 4th shift in a row.
resting easy knowing that this guy will be singing me home in the morning.

:: and a child shall lead them

last night, a dear lady i work with showed me some photos her daughter had taken in her creative arts class. i was so enamored with her creativity and urban inspiration---i just had to look up her flickr account. i continued to be blown away by her talent.


this is her work. her passion. what an exciting new generation.

:: avedon

this week--if you happen to be living in, or traveling through, the detroit area-- please--do me a favor and make it to the detroit institute of arts for the final showing of richard avedon's photography exhibit. one of the most notable forerunners in fashion photography, avedon's beautiful work will no doubt inspire and awe all who witness it in this beautiful presentation. the exhibit has been running since october, but i just sailed in on the coat-tails. making an appearance before the photos for their swan song. and let me tell you-- it made an absolutely fabulous winter afternoon excursion.

avedon will be running through sunday. if you have the privilege of making it-- please do.
