Ten years ago, I sat at my kitchen table with a box of coloured pencils and a quiet promise to myself: just have a go.

It wasn’t about creating a masterpiece. It was about giving myself permission to do something just for me – something that felt like home. That tiny moment (one I almost talked myself out of!) ended up changing everything.

I still remember how it felt – the calm, the focus, the joy. And I realised that drawing wasn’t just helping me make art; it was helping me find myself again.

That’s exactly what Find Your Spark Month is all about – creating space for you to slow down, pick up your pencils, and reconnect with that creative spark that’s been quietly waiting for you to notice it again.

It’s a month-long celebration of courage, colour, and community – a gentle invitation to let go of the pressure to be perfect and simply enjoy the process of creating.

And seeing it all unfold has filled me with so much joy. My inbox, the Spark App, and socials are overflowing with light – brave first drawings, quiet moments of calm, and heartfelt messages that start with “I finally picked up my pencils again.”

Stories That Remind Me Why I Do This

Every time I read your stories, I’m reminded why creativity matters so deeply.

Sheila from Washington, shared how art has become her safe place: “Creativity to me is an outlet where you can find peace and let go of the world’s noise.”

And Chelsea from Atlanta, who said something that’s stayed with me ever since:
“Creativity is how I found my voice when I didn’t have one.”

These words, these moments, are exactly why I created Find Your Spark Month. They show that creativity isn’t just about pencils or paper – it’s about healing, belonging, and coming back to yourself.

🌿 The Power of Tiny Habits

I’ve always believed that big change starts small and Find Your Spark Month has already proved it.

For me it started with one small shift – sitting at my kitchen table with a handful of pencils and a quiet promise to myself to just try. I kept giving myself that permission, day after day, and somewhere in those quiet moments, everything began to change.

And now, watching so many of you doing the same fills me with the biggest joy. 

Those tiny, consistent moments are where creativity truly grows. Because it doesn’t demand hours of your time – it simply asks for your presence.

That’s what I talk about in this week’s Living in Full Colour podcast episode, “Tiny Habits That Change Everything.”

It’s a conversation about how the smallest creative acts – a pencil stroke, a doodle, a quiet moment of colour – can quietly rebuild your confidence, restore your calm, and help you see yourself with softer eyes.

So if you’re ready to join in with Find Your Spark Month – to reconnect with your creativity, find a little calm in the chaos, or simply start showing up for yourself again – this episode is for you.
