There’s something about tiny pieces of paper that makes everything feel lighter.
Lately, my favorite nights look like this—
a handful of 2”x3” watercolor scraps,
a table full of color,
and my girls beside me, creating just to create.
The first few?
A little stiff. A little “am I doing this right?”
Very much in my head.
But then something shifts.
The lines loosen.
The colors get bolder.
The rules quietly leave the room.
And suddenly it’s not about making something good—
it’s about following curiosity…
seeing what happens if…
letting it be messy, playful, a little unexpected.
And honestly?
Those are always my favorite ones.
Not the perfect ones.
The free ones.
If you’ve been feeling stuck,
try making a lot of something small.
No pressure, no masterpiece—just momentum.
Sometimes the magic isn’t in the first try…
it’s in giving yourself permission to keep going. ✨
