A juicy little page for making room for something you want more of. Not a five-year plan. Not a manifestation assignment. Just one small thing you’d love to taste a little more of in your life. 🧺 Ingredients: - Your art journal - Pink, red, green + black paint, markers, crayons, or colored pencils - A scrap of paper or old book page - Glue stick - Black pen or marker - Optional: washi tape, white paint pen, or anything else calling your name 👩🏾‍🍳 Directions: 1. Make a loose pink or red shape somewhere on your page. Half-circle, triangle, wonky blob — we are not auditioning for the Creative Police. 2. Add a strip of green along one edge to turn it into your version of a watermelon slice. 3. Tear a few pieces of scrap paper and layer them around or behind your watermelon. Let some overlap. Let some hang crooked. 4. Add little black watermelon seeds throughout the page. 5. Now choose one thing you want more of right now — joy, rest, adventure, courage, play, creativity, peace, whatever comes up. 6. Write that word inside one of your seeds. Add a few more seeds with tiny words, doodles, or marks that remind you what that could look or feel like. 7. Finish the page with the words: “I’m making room for more ______.” 💭 Optional Reflection: If this started showing up in my life a little more often, what would I notice first? ✍🏾 Example Quote: “I’m making room for more PLAY.” ✨ Creative Garnish: Add white doodle lines, tiny dots, messy handwriting, or a splash of another unexpected color. And if your watermelon ends up looking like a pink taco with seeds? Honey, keep going. 😂 Ain’t no Creative Police. Share your page in the community. We love to see where it blooms. — Meka

Creative Bestie, quick one today. Somewhere along the way we all got convinced that consistency means never missing a day. That if you skip once, you've broken something and now you have to start all the way over. That's not true. Consistency isn't a streak you're not allowed to break. It's just what you keep coming back to, over and over, even after the gaps. Especially after the gaps. So if this week's already had a rough start, or you missed a day you meant to show up for — you haven't lost your spot. You just pick back up right here, right now. That's it. That's the whole trick. What's one thing you're picking back up today, even if it's small?

Hey you! 💜 This week, we’re giving our imagination somewhere to go. Window to Somewhere is all about creating a little escape right inside your art journal. You’re going to build a window, open it up, and decide what exists on the other side. Maybe it’s somewhere you’ve actually been, somewhere you’ve always wanted to go, or maybe it’s a place that doesn’t exist anywhere except in that beautiful imagination of yours. And listen—it does NOT have to look like the example. Your window can overlook the ocean, a busy city at night, a field of wildflowers, a magical forest, another planet… shoot, open that thing up and put whatever you want back there. 😂 Ain’t no Creative Police checking the view! The invitation this week is simple: Create a window to somewhere that feeds your soul. Let yourself play with torn papers, paint, washi, little words, flowers, tickets, stamps—whatever you already have—and see where the page takes you. ✨ Optional reflection: Where would I go if anything were possible right now? And when you finish, drop your page in the comments. I really want to see where everybody’s windows lead because I have a feeling we’re all going somewhere completely different. 💜 Now go make something. 🎨 — Meka

Creative Bestie, honest post today. I'll be straight with y'all ... I had a video planned for last Saturday (I wanted to put out 2 videos last week), and it didn't happen. Life got in the way, and instead of forcing something rushed, I let it sit. And here's the thing... that's not me contradicting everything I teach. That IS what I teach. Sometimes the pull genuinely isn't there yet, and pushing through it anyway just to hit a deadline isn't the same as calling it back out on purpose. So I waited. And this week, it's coming. Tell me — has something on your list gotten pushed back lately? Not because you gave up on it, but because it just wasn't time yet? Drop it below.

If you watched my latest YouTube video, then you’ve already met MIBBI™ — the little guy who represents the fear, overthinking, perfectionism, comparison, procrastination, and self-doubt that can get heavier the longer we sit in it. MIBBI isn’t the bad guy, though; he thinks he’s protecting us, and sometimes that means he gets so big and heavy that even his little wings can’t lift him. The good news is, creativity helps MIBBI feel safe enough to shrink — one tiny mark, five minutes of play, using the good paper, making something imperfect, or simply beginning before you feel ready. You don’t have to fight him or make him disappear; you just have to notice what’s feeding him and give yourself one small creative moment that reminds both of you, we’re okay here. So tell me: How’s your MIBBI today — tiny, medium, or woo-wee… he chunky? 😂 And what do you think has been feeding him lately?
