Draw Your Memories, a 30-day drawing class is now open! Sign up here for just $30 and join me in drawing a different memory every day of October!
October is right around the corner and that means a new issue of Color Your Soul and a new daily challenge on Instagram!
Before we talk about the details of the upcoming challenge, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of the October issue of Color Your Soul. Rich, bold color and unexpected pops of brights have me feeling cheeky yet STRONG. Which leads me to this month's theme...
This October, I want you to Color Your Soul with CONFIDENCE.
"We always tend to think of confidence as something that is delivered TO US from the outside world. If others would just give us positive feedback or validation, THEN we’ll feel confident, right?
"But confidence is not something that comes to us; it comes FROM us. It is planted within us first through BELIEF and is cultivated and tended to through experience and practice."
To read more, become a Color Your Soul Subscriber and get the Confidence issue in your inbox starting October 1st!

Okay, enough with the secrets! Now onto this month's creative challenge...
Since the goal is to cultivate confidence this month, I knew I wanted to offer up some type of creative challenge every day of October.
Enter... Draw Your Memories, my newest online class!
Many of you have requested an online class for line drawing and illustration so that's exactly what I've created!
Not only do I go over the basics of simple line drawing and how I approach my own illustration style, but I talk about how to discover and hone your own style. Drawing does NOT have to feel technical and intimidating and restrictive. It can feel fun and playful and full of personality!
You can join the class NOW by clicking here!
To cultivate CONFIDENCE with your creativity, this month's #MVcoloryoursoul companion challenge is to post your illustrated memories on Instagram using the daily prompts below!
