i much prefer to drink coffee ~

...
the night before last, i fell asleep looking at gorgeous photos by, saul leiter.
{how beautiful}
he is one of my absolute favorite photographers. 
i had to sneak his book into a photo at the breakfast table. 
: )

i love that i stumbled across this post tonight.

this quote makes me smile
"In order to build a career and to be successful, one has to be determined. 
One has to be ambitious. 
I much prefer to drink coffee, listen to music and to paint when I feel like it."
Saul Leiter

Ahhh, great quote. So relatable.

Love that quote and photo! The quote reminds me about so many articles that I've been reading about women "having it all." Having it all means so many different things to different people.

A career where you're at the top, but have no time to play doesn't seem like having it all to me. I read another article about the idea of having it all vs being happy. It seems like we as a society need to somehow mesh the idea of being happy with having it all. Just my two cents as I finish a very good glass of iced coffee. It really is all about the coffee. Much happiness to you today Christina! : )
