Welcome to 2026!
I’m still in the glow of the holidays and have been embracing the idea of combining excitement with gentleness. We don’t often associate those two words together, but I’m choosing to will that balance into existence this year. 😁 I have found myself saying this lately and as I reflect on the past few months, this is now becoming more than lip service. I’ve launched into this new venture with MyLittleFe, and the world of possibilities feels endless. I can take this as far and wide as I'd like to take it to.
I am excited for what 2026 will bring to me and the rest of the world. How to incorporate this excitement with a steady gentle pace that will help me as I continue on my creative journey and be able to sustain myself and my family.
I’m an engineer at heart, which means I love creating and building — systems, ideas, and now, a creative business. Follow me on my journey this year as I grow this creative business and hope that whatever I create and build will inspire you in your own creativity. Remember, creativity is not only for the visual and performing arts. All of us have creativity in us. Most parents don't even know it but raising a family comes with its own set of creative habits.
Whatever it is you do creatively, I recommend that you allow joy to enter your heart and the rest will follow.
Here's to a year filled with art, intention, and everyday beauty.
With gratitude,
Marife
