✨ The Brilliance Report - Issue No. 6
Hi Reader!
Do you ever notice how joy sneaks in through the smallest cracks? A burst of laughter, a bright color on the page, or even the way morning light hits your coffee mug — these little sparks make everything feel lighter. 🌞
This week, I’ve been leaning into playfulness in my work, reminding myself that creativity thrives when we let it breathe. 🌞
🏡 My Week-in-Review:
This past week has been all about balancing the practical with the playful. While some tasks (hello, email cleanup 🙃) felt like pure work, I also found moments of fun in sketching new designs, experimenting with colors (new lavender nail polish with silver sprinkles just for fun), and jotting down half-formed ideas that just might grow into something beautiful.
Lesson learned? Progress feels better when you sprinkle in joy.
💡 This Week’s Thought:
Add lightness to your routine with one small playful shift:
🌼 Use your favorite pen or highlighter for today’s to-do list.
🌼 Write one “just because” idea in your journal.
🌼 Try a new font, color, or design style in Canva.
🌼 Celebrate one small win with a treat or break.
🌼 Share a kind word with someone who needs it.
🎨 In the Studio:
🌼 I’m sketching ideas for new printable journals that balance beauty + practicality.
🌼 Experimenting with fresh PLR templates designed to save time and spark creativity for makers + Etsy sellers.
🌼 Letting curiosity lead — sometimes the best products come from play!

🌸 Mini Reflection:
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” – Nicolas Chamfort
🎨 Creative Nudge:
This week, chase a spark of joy — doodle, dance, write, or color outside the lines. The lightness you bring in will fuel your next big idea.
🌸 Wrap Up:
Creativity isn’t just about output. It’s about letting joy sneak in and fuel the process. This week, I hope you find little sparks that remind you your brilliance shines brightest when it’s playful.
Until next time,
Melinda
