Color Theory: Coral + Frost

The heat of coral sedum blossoms & the cool of round sedum leaves inspired my recent color crush: Coral + Frost. I walk by them every day at the greenhouse in awe of their color play. It's a classic game of fire and ice. These two hues aren't something I'd usually expect would play nice with each other but I've been proven wrong by nature—again, and always again—with this dynamic duo. I've been daydreaming of landscapes, outfits & classic accessories with this color palette ever since.

But there's something else I have to share because it came to me as unexpectedly as these brilliant & commanding hues. I was walking with Tiger the other night in the middle of full design mode (closely related to zombie mode once the sun sets) when I looked at the willow trees standing tall across the lake. I let my mind go & words began to trickle in that hadn't been there in a while. One's I had to dust off in order to make sense of them.

Still I rise.

They came slow, unassuming. The lake breeze urged them along until I began to catch on. These were the words from a poem that has moved me, truly unearthed me, since I first discovered the wise & beautiful spirit, Maya Angelou.

In that moment of clarity on the shore, I breathed in these soothing words. Over & over & over again. They've continued to bring comfort to me this week as my days fill up with hustle & grind. I've made a few varieties for your desktop, tablet, or phone screens if you need an extra boost as I did.

You will rise, you will rise, you will rise. If there's a size you'd like but don't see here, email me. I'd be happy to make one just for you!
