Not only do I have a launch tomorrow but I was interviewed by Dionne Woods a few weeks ago and it is launching tomorrow as well. [Insert... wasn't planned but it happens happy dance] 💃 👣 I will have to do extra designs for you guys next week. In the meantime, stay tuned for the Motivatarian Exchange on Apple, Spotify, tomorrow and YouTube over the weekend!. Soon as I have the YouTube link I'll post it below.

Look at me posting early in the day LOL! (It's the little things sometimes! 🥳) Pretend you're standing in a sun-warmed Mediterranean courtyard. The stone has a story.The linen has texture.The figs are perfectly imperfect.The lemon refuses to be ignored. Now ask yourself: What are you drawn to first? - The color? - The texture? - The shape? - The contrast? Because that's usually the clue to what wants to show up in your next piece of art. Sometimes inspiration isn't a a picture. Sometimes it's a feeling wrapped in color, texture, and possibility. 👇 What grabs your attention first in this moodboard?

This week's free designs are a little like five doors. Most people scroll past them thinking, "That's a horse."Or "That's a beach."Or "That's a duck wearing sunglasses, and frankly I have questions." But artists see something different. They see possibility. 🐴 One person sees a horse and a dog. Another sees loyalty, friendship, and a piece called The Ones Who Stay. 🏖️ One person sees beach chairs. Another sees the vacation they keep promising themselves they'll take someday. 🐱 One person sees a girl holding a cat. Another sees mystery, elegance, and a story waiting to be told. 🦆 One person sees a goose in a towel. Another sees their spirit animal. 🧳 One person sees a suitcase. Another sees freedom, reinvention, and the courage to leave the familiar behind. So here's your Creative AF challenge: Pick ONE of these free designs and tell us... 👉 What do you see that everyone else might miss? No right answers. No wrong answers. Just imagination doing what imagination does best. Because sometimes the difference between "it's just a picture" and "I have to create something with this" is a single thought. Let's see where your brain wanders. 👀✨

Let's play a game. This moodboard is the cover of a book. What's the title? 📖 I'm curious to see how many completely different stories emerge from the exact same image.

So... yesterday and today were supposed to be productive. Instead, I got an unexpected lesson in what I'm now calling the Mercury Scary. ☠️ I hopped on a zoom call, ready to focus on my business, when Craig suddenly came barreling into the house in full panic mode... and immediately started stripping off his clothes and putting them in a trash bag while on the phone with someone. Naturally, this seemed concerning. (Thank God I didn't have the camera or audio turned on! 🤣) Turns out the storage unit he had purchased and cleaned out contained beakers, vials, and Mercury. Before the day was over, the police, fire department, and multiple government agencies were involved. The storage unit got roped off like a crime scene. The police asked if he was making meth. His response: "I called YOU guys." Meanwhile, the fire department cleared him to come home, but then another agency called to explain they would be visiting today to test the mercury levels on everything he brought home, his truck, his clothing, and basically anything that may have crossed paths with him. Then came instructions on how to dispose of the clothing and shoes he had been wearing. How to clean the floors. Checking the dog's paws. Then checking the cat's paws. Then, walking through the house with a flashlight to see if microscopic mercury particles had somehow hitchhiked their way into the house. And somewhere in the middle of all this... My business call was still happening, and our dinner was now burning. Whatever I was supposed to be doing completely left the building. The moral of the story? Some days you're crushing your goals. Some days you're helping inspect pet paws for toxic metals while trying not to burn the house down while in the middle of a hot flash. Both count as surviving the day. Creative entrepreneurs tend to beat themselves up for the things they didn't get done. But life happens. Businesses are built in the middle of chaos, interruptions, unexpected detours, and occasionally hazardous materials.
