So nope we still don’t have electric at home after the big storm we had so I have escaped to my hometown to visit the kids and use their WiFi 😂😂😂 My hometown of Paignton is located on the coast so it was lovely to take my pooch Reggie for a walk on the beach 🥰 Now I have the WiFi I have added week two’s resource to the classroom here’s a snippet of what to expect. Progress over Perfection 🥰 An invitation to soften your expectations and let go of the need to get things “right.” This week is about showing up in small, kind ways — a few lines drawn, a thought written down, a moment noticed. Progress doesn’t have to be loud or finished to matter; it simply asks that you begin, continue, or return. Every tiny step counts, especially the ones only you can see.

I just want to take a moment to say how grateful I am to each of you for joining this space. Thank you for being here at the very beginning — it truly means more to me than I can say. This community has been created with so much care, and knowing that you’ve chosen to step into it feels incredibly special. A Smidgen of Calm is a gentle place to create, reflect, and rest — without pressure, comparison, or expectation. Whether you’re here quietly observing or actively creating, you are equally welcome. Please take your time to explore. There’s no rush, no catching up, and no “right” way to be part of this space. I hope it becomes somewhere you can return to when you need a little calm, creativity, or connection. Thank you again for being here and trusting this space. I’m so glad we’re here together. With so much gratitude, Kate 🤍🌿

Hey @Jeffrey Miller Iam thrilled you’ve joined us 🙏🏼

Monday can feel daunting. A day of trying to get all your ducks in a row while life feels loud, busy, or overwhelming. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone — not in life, and not in creating. Take a quiet moment today to pause. Look back and acknowledge what you’ve already achieved, even the small wins that don’t always get noticed. They matter. Then, gently lift your gaze forward. There is excitement waiting — future projects, ideas yet to unfold, and possibilities you haven’t even imagined fully yet. You don’t need to do it all today. Just one mindful step is enough. Be kind to yourself this Monday 🤍
