Dear Creativity,

Oh, you wild, wonderful thing. You sweep in like a fresh breeze, stirring my hands into motion. You have been my closest companion, my patient teacher, my endless muse. When the world feels heavy, you remind me that transformation is possible—that a blank page can become a story, that torn paper can be made into something beautiful, that even the messiest emotions can be layered into art.

You don’t ask for perfection. You don’t lay down rules. You simply whisper: Show up. And when I do, you meet me there—sometimes in a grand rush of inspiration, sometimes in slow, quiet steps. But always, you are there.

In the spirit of creativity and all its love and generosity, I’m sharing something special with you...

Last February, I took a moment to celebrate one of my deepest loves—creativity. Not just the kind that happens in solitude, but the kind that connects, uplifts, and sparks something beautiful in all of us. Creativity is a gift, and one of the greatest joys of my journey has been sharing it with you.

This year, I’m keeping the tradition alive with the second annual Sharing the Love post! It started as a simple idea: gather free creative gifts from my artist friends and share them with you. But what I didn’t expect was just how much my artist communities would embrace the idea. They loved it, and they’ve come together once again to offer an incredible collection of free workshops, and creative resources—each one wrapped in kindness and generosity.

And this year, there’s even more to share! These gifts come from two communities I’m grateful to be a part of:
⭐️The Remarkable League—a group of creative entrepreneurs supporting each other as we grow our art businesses and deepen our creative practices.
🌍 The Awesome Entrepreneur Group—an international community of artists and business women, each bringing our own unique strengths to the table as we hold space and support one another however needed.

Together, we believe that creativity is meant to be shared. That inspiration expands when we pass it along. That making art—whether for healing, play, or self-expression—is one of the most generous acts we can offer ourselves.

So today, I’m inviting you to peruse this collection of free creative gifts. Whether you’re looking for new techniques, fresh inspiration, or a creative spark to light up your practice, I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
