In less than two days, the new year will begin — and with it a new month and a new challenge.✨ For January, inspired by Gwen’s suggestion, we invite you to create your own oil lamp or incense burner. How it looks is completely up to you — the only requirement is that it works.🪔 For an oil lamp, you’ll need a container, a wick, and olive oil so the wick can draw the oil and produce a flame. Alternatively, you can create an incense burner, where a flame is placed underneath a small bowl or surface. The design can be very simple or more complex — that’s entirely your choice. Feel free to let your creativity run wild. This challenge is about ideas, experimentation, and making something functional, not perfection.🙌 Have fun with it, and feel free to share your progress, thoughts, and ideas along the way. We hope many of you will join in and take part. Enjoy the process and have fun! 🔥✨

In August 2027, I will turn 50 years old. 🙌 Instead of gifts, I have a heartfelt wish that I would love to start realizing together with this Skool community. 🎁 My dream is to create a large mosaic wall made of individual tiles, each one designed by someone from our community. Every tile will be a personal contribution, and together they will form a place that connects us all. 🙏🏻 Over the next 20 months, I would like to collect these tiles from as many of you as possible. I especially hope that when we see each other in Baltimore, some of you might already be able to hand over your tiles in person. And beyond that, I’m planning to visit many of you anyway — so I would be more than happy to come by and collect tiles personally whenever that’s possible. 🌎 Tile specifications - Size: 4 inches × 4 inches (approx. 10 × 10 cm) - Thickness: 0.2 inches (approx. 5 mm) Design Please feel free to be creative. 🤪 Colors, patterns, symbols, short quotes, thoughts — anything that represents you is welcome. Each tile should carry a small piece of your story. By the time I celebrate my 50th birthday in 2027, all these tiles will come together as one large mosaic on a wall — a shared artwork created by people from many places, moments, and perspectives. This is my personal birthday wish, and it would mean a lot to me if you chose to be part of it.🥰 Thank you for helping to create something lasting, meaningful, and shared. 💛

It’s time for another fun GIF challenge — and I’m so excited for this one! 👉 Your task: Post a GIF that represents your home country. Everyone else please like the GIF and comment their guess about which country it might be. Extra challenge: If we already know which country you’re from, we can make it even more interesting by guessing your city or state instead! Why are we doing this? Because it’s an easy and fun way for everyone — especially those who haven’t been very active yet — to participate. And we get to know each other even better along the way. Plus, likes and comments earn you points to move up to the next level. 🎯💥 So let’s go — show us your GIFs! Fire away and have fun! 🔥🌍
