#005 ☞ Needle in a Haystack
Searching for the finer things is never easy. With so many places to go and new things to try, it can all be a little overwhelming. But when you find those instances of magic, whether they are thousands of miles away, or sitting right in front of you, it's all worth it.
“The way to find a needle in a haystack is to sit down.” - Beryl Markham
Here's to finding your magic wherever that may be. Just remember to make time for yourself. Take a seat, pour yourself a chilled glass of your favorite libation and soak it all in.
