Ever feel guilty for resting or taking a break?
I have often felt that way knowing good and well I needed to rest. I felt like was juggling ten plates at once and hoping and praying none of them crash. That’s what overwhelm feels like. Work, family, bills, errands, life… all spinning at once. And somehow, you’re supposed to smile through it and keep it moving. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to keep every plate in the air. It’s okay to set one or all of them down. It’s okay to pause for a while. Slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. It means you’re giving yourself space to breathe, recharge and reset. When was the last time you gave yourself permission to pause? Share it below. Your story might give someone else the courage to take a break too.

Hey creative fam 👋🏾 — just a gentle reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to make progress. Some of the best ideas come from simply showing up, messy bun and all. ✨ Ask yourself today:What’s one small step I can take that future me will thank me for?Maybe it’s organizing your files, sketching that idea, or simply resting so your creativity can recharge. Don’t underestimate the power of tiny wins. 🛠️ Pro tip: Keep a "Done List" this week. Instead of only focusing on your to-do’s, track what you actually accomplished—big or small. You’ll be surprised how powerful it feels. 👇🏾Drop your next step in the comments! Let’s inspire each other. You never know who needs that nudge today. #progressnotperfection #creativemindset #smallstepsbigwins #skoolcommunity #accountabilitypost

✨Challenge Accepted ✨
When @Chi9Designs said pick two colors from the palette… I knew I had to bring texture, tone, and attitude to the canvas using only Buff (#DB995A) & Liver (#654236). 🤎✨ I wanted to push myself—so I played with layer effects to get the textures to pop and to create dimension and contrast without stepping outside the color limits. The results? Exactly the vibe I was going for. 🎥 Bonus: I screen recorded a portion of the process so y’all can catch a glimpse of the magic as it unfolded.

"Pick 2 colors from this palette only. Yep, just TWO. 🎯Now create anything—a background, a mini sketch, digital lettering, even a doodle on a sticky note." Caption: You ain’t gotta match, just make it bold. Drop your two colors in the comments and show us what you came up with! 🧡 Use the orange-based palette you posted earlier as the swatch challenge.
