✨ The Brilliance Report - Issue No. 7
Hi Reader!
Do you ever notice how the tiniest moments of light can shift everything? A color that makes you smile, a verse that lingers, or the way a favorite mug warms your hands.
Some weeks need a little extra brightness, and this week I’ve been leaning into those sparks. That’s why I pulled together 5 simple sparks to bring more light and joy into your days. 🌞
🏡 My Week-in-Review:
Life threw a few heavy things my way, but instead of pushing harder, I’ve been giving myself space for refreshment. A walk, a sketch, a cup of coffee and tea.
No finished products to share yet — but there’s beauty in the “in between” too.🌸
💡 This Week’s Thought:
🌼 5 Easy Ways to Refresh Your Creativity 🌼
- Step outside and notice three things you usually overlook.
- Add one new color to your journal, sketch, or Canva design.
- Write a single word, verse, or idea that made you smile today.
- Light a candle or play music while you work — change the atmosphere.
- Celebrate one thing you’ve already done — even if it feels small.
🎨 In the Studio:
🌼 Playing with color palettes + design ideas for future products.
🌼 Gathering sparks for journals + printables to come.
🌼 Reminding myself that lightness in the process leads to better ideas.
✨ My Spotlight Products: This week’s pick - (nothing new this week - if you didn’t check this out last week - here it is)
☕ For everyone: My Whimsical Bird Mug featuring my original artwork and the gentle reminder that “The World Needs You Just As You Are.” 🕊️ Comes in dark green, black, or blue.
It’s a little daily encouragement wrapped in a beautiful, functional piece of art. Perfect for your morning coffee or evening tea. A little art + encouragement with every sip.

🌸 Mini Reflection:
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” – Thích Nhất Hạnh
🎨 Creative Nudge:
Pick one of the 5 refreshers above and try it this week. Small sparks create lighter days — and lighter days fuel brighter ideas.
🌸 Wrap Up:
Progress doesn’t always look like big leaps. Sometimes it looks like joy in the small things. And those small sparks? They matter more than you think.
Until next time,
Melinda
