Today….I was inspired by a color palette I saw online. It wasn’t a color palette that I’ve used before, and I couldn’t figure out why I was so captivated by it. I printed it and let it sit on my desk for a week, thinking that my love for it would pass, but it didn’t.

Then this week, as I was doing my daily journaling and I was reading Morgan Harper Nicols book – You Are Only Just Beginning – I came across this quote. “To wander through the unknown is unsettling, and all you want are the answers. Answers keep us safe. But what if you let go of needing all the answers and embrace the dangerous task of asking questions?”

I took it to heart and stopped, and decided to wade into the unknown of this color palette and just kept asking myself questions about it. I came up with a few answers and I’ll share them in the video.

I hope you have fun watching and that it inspires you to just wander a little, to not have all the answers. Always know that you are loved!
