In 1956, a group of women marched on the Union Buildings and refused to carry passes that told them where they were and weren't allowed to exist. They weren't asking permission. They were claiming space. That's the energy I want running through MyClearLight this August. So for the month, our theme is 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. Women (real, historical, or sitting right here in this community) who colour outside the lines they are handed, in whatever way that shows up for you right now. Here's how it's going to weave through everything we already do: 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸: each Monday this month gets a Women's Month lens: a woman who claimed her space, and a question to sit with as you start your week. 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗽 '𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 (Thursdays): same easy photo prompt you already love, with a one-line Women's Month twist each week. 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗽: this month's competition features a woman who built something extraordinary from nothing, from a colouring book my dear friend Dezré Little created called 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀. I'll tell you all about her and how to enter in a separate post very soon. And on 9 August, National Women's Day here in South Africa, I've got something special for all of you. This is a month about colour, voice, and claiming your space. I can't wait to see what it stirs up in you. Drop a 🌸 below if you're in.

Three butterflies, three messages, and one of them found you for a reason. Butterflies only exist because something fell apart first. Today's cards are all about that - change, the messy middle, and the wings you didn't know you were growing. Look at the three below. Don't overthink which one is "right", just notice which one your eye lands on first. 🧡 Card 1 💜 Card 2 💗 Card 3 **HOW TO PLAY:** 1️⃣ Look at all three butterflies 2️⃣ Comment the number you're drawn to (1, 2, or 3) 3️⃣ I'll reply to your comment with your card's message That's it. No wrong answers, just trust the pull. Whatever change you're in the middle of right now, there's a good chance it has something to say to you. Drop your number below. Can't wait to see what everyone's drawn to today. *(Reveals coming in the comments — no peeking ahead!)*

Three cards, three messages, and one of them is for you. I'm having a slower, quieter day today, so I'm keeping things simple this week. No overthinking, just intuition. Look at the three cards below. Don't read into the symbols too much, don't try to pick the “right” one. Just notice which one your eye is drawn to first. 🌞 Card 1 🪶 Card 2 🌸 Card 3 HOW TO PLAY: 1️⃣ Look at all three cards 2️⃣ Comment the number you're drawn to (1, 2, or 3) 3️⃣ I'll reply to your comment with your card's message That's it. Trust the pull. It's usually right about what you need to hear today. Drop your number below. Can't wait to see what everyone draws. (Reveals coming in the comments — no peeking ahead!)

Woo hoo! What’s on the cards for today? I have already coached a client, gone to Zumba class and I am going with my son to climb Kloof Corner just now (pics to follow). Let us know what you’re up to and share some pics. 😬

🦋 INTRODUCING: COLOUR POP: our first-ever MyClearLight competition! Grab your pencils, pull out your gel pens, raid your kid's crayon box!! It's time to get colourful. Here's a confession: colouring in takes me straight back to my childhood. No deadlines, no inbox, no "getting it right" - just colour, focus, and that quiet, happy hum in your brain while you fill in the lines. Turns out that feeling has a name: colouring in is genuinely therapeutic. It's a form of mindfulness. It slows your breathing, quiets the mental chatter, and gets you into a flow state without ever having to sit cross-legged on a cushion. Cheap therapy, no appointment necessary. So for our very first Colour Pop, I am giving you something with a bit more meaning behind it than just pretty lines. Meet this month's artwork: a woman with a butterfly "mask." I chose her for two reasons. A butterfly is the ultimate symbol of metamorphosis. Nobody becomes who they are without a little time in the cocoon first. And a mask? We all wear one. The face we show the world isn't always the one going through the transformation underneath. So as you colour her in, sit with two questions: 🦋 What's the change you're making in your life right now? 🎭 What's the mask you're wearing? Let your colours answer for you. Moody and midnight blue? Bright and defiant orange? Soft, healing pastels? There's no right or wrong here. HOW TO PLAY: 1️⃣ Download the attached picture below 2️⃣ Colour it in. Use any medium, any style, any vibe 3️⃣ Once you're happy with it, snap a photo and attach it in the comments of this post KEY DATES: 🗳️ Voting opens: 30 July (submit your entry before then) 🏆 Winner announced: 1 August I cannot wait to see how each of you interprets her. Let's fill this thread with colour. Happy colouring! 🦋🎨
