💛 Sometimes joy looks like glitter… Sometime

💛 Sometimes joy looks like glitter…

Sometimes it looks like chalk…

And sometimes—it looks like 😀 that smile.

In Operation Merriment, we create joy on purpose. We gather together, make guerrilla art, and leave it around Baltimore for strangers to find. And the ripple effect is real.

🎁 Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what people are saying:

💬 “It filled my cup in a way I didn’t know I needed.”

💬 “I walked away buzzing with inspiration.”

💬 “I remembered how powerful small things are.”

Come join us and experience it for yourself.

📅 Saturday, April 26 @ 1 PM

What is Operation Merriment?

It’s more than crafting. It’s more than kindness.

It’s a movement. A monthly mission. A way to turn creativity into community impact.

Every month, we gather in Baltimore to make uplifting guerrilla art and leave it in the world where people least expect it… but need it most. 🎁

Here’s how it works:

🎨 We create together
🚀 We deploy joy into the world
💛 We connect, reflect, and leave inspired

No experience necessary. No pressure to be perfect. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.

Next event:

📅 April 26th @ 12 PM
📍 Enoch Pratt Central Library, Baltimore
💸 Just $11 (all materials included!)

I need to tell you something about this challenge

I need to tell you something about this challenge I’ve been doing. 🤩🩷

You know how most self-care stuff is like, take a deep breath, take a bubble bath 🛁, light a candle 🕯️, and honestly, that’s fine—but I need more. I need play 🪁. I need novelty 🧩. I need things that wake my brain up 🧠⚡ and make me laugh at how weird life is. 🎠

And this little 7-day, 1-minute joy challenge did exactly that. 🎉

🌈 What I loved is that it wasn’t about huge changes. It was these tiny, quirky shifts that made me feel so much more alive.

Like, tapping on my chest to reset my nervous system 💖 (oh hiiiii, “thymus thump”!). Giving my anxious thoughts the most ridiculous cartoon voice so I couldn’t take them seriously. Spotting accidental art in the wild 🎨 and realizing—wow, the world is actually full of weird beauty if I just look for it. 👀

And the flow of it felt kind of perfect too. It starts with calming your system 🧘‍♀️, moves into embracing your own delightful weirdness 🤹‍♀️, and ends with reconnecting to the world around you 🌎.

Basically, it mirrors how I think we make joy in our lives: first, feel good inside 💓. Then, create it in our own way 🎨. And finally, spread it around 🫶.

And the best part? It only takes one minute a day. ⏰

I swear, this has been such a game-changer for me. 🚀 If you’re like me and you crave novelty, play, and those tiny sparks of joy in your day—you gotta try it. ✨

Only available in the PP, IFYKYK. 💌

🧠 Your brain is kind of a dumb dumb. Not your

🧠 Your brain is kind of a dumb dumb.

Not your MIND. Your mind is SOOO smart. 🌈✨ It contains multitudes.

But your brain? It’s just another organ—like your liver. It carries out specific functions, and when you don’t treat it right, it struggles to do its job, which is sad because that’s its WHOLE purpose on this Earth! 😵‍💫

The good news? Just like your body can bounce back from being run-down, your brain can heal when you start treating it with care. 💪💖

Your brain is here to support your experience on this earth. So when I say we can “trick” it, I mean we can learn how it operates—what *it* wants—and pair that with what *you* want. 🔄

👉 Want to think more positively? There’s a trick for that.

👉 Want to expand your focus? There’s a trick for that.

👉 Want to feel less anxious? Yep, a trick for that too.

And by “tricks,” I mean tweaks. Tools. Tiny 1–5 minute challenges to get your brain on board with your big beautiful dreams. 🛠️🧩

If you want to try some FREE 1 Minute Challenges — check out the Positive Pulse. It’s free. Let’s go. 🎉

P.S. This is a clip from the “Refresh + Recenter” Seminar, which is also free inside the same place your 1 Minute Challenges live.

Go join. Uplevel. Love yourself. 💛

You care so deeply. 💛 And sometimes, that care

You care so deeply. 💛

👊🏽 You’re allowed to feel good while doing good.

👊🏿 The world needs your heart—not your exhaustion.

🏳️‍🌈 If you're a justice-seeker, helper, or changemaker who craves more nourishment and connection…
