✨ The Brilliance Report – Issue No. 2
Hi friend,
Have you noticed how the smallest daily actions can change the way your whole week feels?
We often think growth — in business, life, creativity, or faith — comes from big, bold moves. But most of the time, it’s the small, consistent steps that build something beautiful:
🌸 10 minutes with a journal
🌸 1 idea written down instead of forgotten
🌸 5 minutes in gratitude before the day starts
🎨 In the Studio:
🖌️ My Bible Journal and Prayer Journal have been accepted into a Faith-Based Bundle launching soon.
🖌️ In the meantime, I’m sketching out a few new creative products (think: idea journals + business tools) for makers and Etsy sellers.
🖌️ I’m also working on my companion product for the Kid’s Camping Activity Pack - Nature Games & Printable Journal.
🙏 Mini Reflection:
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
– Zechariah 4:10
🎨 Creative Nudge:
Pick one small step you can commit to this week — in your faith, in your family life, your business, or your creative work. Write it down. Keep it visible.
🌺 Wrap Up:
Small steps matter. Whether you’re journaling daily, making space for rest, or quietly working on your shop, you’re building something beautiful.
Until next time,
Melinda
