I drew our inner Creature & made a Coloring Page, just for YOU!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let’s go, 2026!
On Monday, we’ll be in our STUDY, SAVOR, & SUPPORT Each Other CHAT ☕️🍵 , so we can jump back into the deep dive of our Book Club selection — BEYOND ANXIETY: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose by Martha Beck.
⭐️ In the meantime, let’s share our New Year’s Resolutions for 2026!
⭐️ What are you looking forward to?
🥳 For 2026, I’ll be…
Leaning into my VICTUS Method to THINK-DO-&-BE my way to becoming the Creative I choose to be on this amazing Attorney-to-Creative Journey I’m on.
That means I’ll be dedicating more of my time and attention to creating everything I LOVE:
♥️ creative writing,
♥️ books,
♥️ art,
♥️ music, &
♥️ singing!
For a long time, I’ve wanted to QUIT what no longer serves me. It’s why I wrote this poem, urging us to QUIT what’s wrong for us, to reclaim our POWER and be AUTHENTICALLY YOU!
It’s important for me to do this in a way that’s healthy & balanced.
That’s why my goal for 2026 is to focus more on my intuition.
To slow down enough to go inward.
To make choices that are in alignment with who I am & who I aspire to become as a Creative.
⭐️ Now, take a Mindful Minute to reflect on your life:
Are you headed in the same or different direction?
What do you hope to accomplish? Personally? Professionally? Creatively?
How can you accomplish your goals in a healthy & balanced way?
🥳 No matter what we choose, let’s remember we don’t have to do it alone.
We’re all on the same journey: Life.
And life needn’t be full of non-stop struggle, stress, or anxiety.
Instead, I’m looking forward to applying the lessons we’re learning in Martha Beck’s book to…
Calm our frightened inner Creatures, using our magical Creative abilities.
Most importantly, our ability to
🔮 Love, 🔮 Soothe, & 🔮 Nurture
ourselves & each other.
🎨 In that spirit, I drew our inner Creature & made this Coloring Page, just for you! 🖌️
Please feel free to print it out & color it in, to ring in the New Year, and decorate it with any other words you wish to write in, to guide & empower you in 2026 & beyond!
I hope you enjoy this fun & artsy gift, and I wish you peace, comfort, & creativity, as we continue our Creative journey together.
Hope you all have a very Happy & Healthy 2026!
The Creative Creature in me honors & respects the Creative Creature in each of you,
Marisa
⭐️ Remember, we don’t have to figure everything out, all alone. ⭐️
We can find solutions, together!
Please join us in my
This is a special group for Writers, Artists, & Creatives like us, to have deep conversations about the Books that we choose, so we can implement what we learn, and unearth our truest, most Authentic Selves.
Right now, we’re doing a deep dive (one chapter per week) on BEYOND ANXIETY: Curiosity, Creativity, and Finding Your Life’s Purpose by Martha Beck.
It’s really opened my eyes to how left-brained dominant I’ve been, and it’s motivated me to lessen my anxiety by activating the right hemisphere of my brain with my creativity. It’s only been a few weeks and I feel much calmer and more centered now.
Hope you’ll join us in the CHAT. It’s a warm and welcoming group!
