This morning, I woke up at 10am simply because I wanted to. No alarms, no rush, no guilt. Just the comfort of knowing that I could sleep in and start my day when my body felt ready. It felt luxurious in the simplest way — to open my eyes without the weight of deadlines, commutes, or the noise of an office filled with work that never fed my soul.
I thought about how far I’ve come. There was a time when Mondays meant dragging myself out of bed to do work that felt empty, giving energy to things that didn’t align with who I am. Now, my Mondays begin with freedom — a cup of coffee, sunlight streaming in, and the joy of knowing that I can paint, create, and live at my own pace.
Today I am grateful for this life I’ve built. For the ability to wake up refreshed and spend my day doing what I love. And as I think about 2026, my heart feels excited and open. There are new ideas forming, new directions calling. I am grateful for the space to dream again, and for the freedom to turn those dreams into reality, one brushstroke at a time.
