✨ The Brilliance Report - Issue No. 20
Clear space. Gain clarity. Move forward with purpose.
Hi Reader!
December has a way of revealing what’s working and what’s quietly draining you. And when life gets full, the most powerful step isn’t adding more to your plate… it’s releasing what no longer supports who you’re becoming. Letting go isn’t quitting; it’s choosing alignment over obligation. It’s one of the most productive things you can do before a new year begins.
💡 This Week’s Thought:
Clarity grows faster when you remove the unnecessary than when you add more effort.
🎨 In the Studio:
My work this week looks a little different. It’s part creative, part practical, part preparing for the holidays. I’m continuing to support the Unwrap the Magic bundle, a special December collection filled with resources to bring more ease and creativity into your life and work. If you’re looking for support during a full month, it’s a great place to explore. It’s still open for sign-ups. I’m also organizing what needs to carry into the new year…and what doesn’t. Even small recalibrations make room for better ideas to land, so I’m letting that be enough in this season.
🌸 Business Strategies for Makers + PLR Sellers:
- Retire one thing that no longer performs. A product, a workflow, a habit. Clearing it opens space for what actually works.
- Refresh your “evergreen essentials.” Update keywords, images, or descriptions on products that sell year-round. Future visibility starts now.
- Choose one January priority. Just one. Naming it early gives your mind a head start and reduces decision fatigue later.
🌼 Inspiration for Everyone:
- Release a commitment that feels heavy, not helpful.
Your energy deserves better use.
- Clean one digital space.
A folder, a phone album, or your desktop. Mental ease follows quickly.
- Ask yourself: “What would make the next week feel lighter?”
Let the answer guide one small change.
🌸 Creative Nudge:
Do a “5 minute sweep.” Set a timer and clear one small zone such as your desk, a pile, a browser window stack. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s forward motion.
🌼 Mini Reflection:
“Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.” — Eckhart Tolle
🌸 Wrap Up:
Before the year turns, give yourself permission to release what isn’t serving your energy, creativity, or peace. A lighter load opens clearer paths and you deserve that kind of clarity.
✨ You’ll find a few favorite tools and offers below to help you stay focused and give you a fresh spark of inspiration.
Until next time,
