SPARK
A spark isn’t a strategy.
It’s a feeling. A flicker of momentum.
An idea that keeps tapping you on the shoulder.
Not every spark leads to an explosion.
Some just need air. Or a curious collaborator. Or a space where ideas can spark off one another.
This month, we’re leaning into those first glimmers of “this could be something.”
A Few Questions to Reflect On:
What has your attention lately—especially when you’re not trying?
What’s lighting you up, even if it doesn’t “make sense” yet?
Where might you be over-editing a spark before it can grow?
A Practice to Try This Month:
Write down three ideas or inklings that feel alive (no judgment, no plan)
Share one with a collaborator—just to see where it might lead
Say yes to something small that lights you up—and share it with someone who might be sparked by it, too
Sparks multiply in company.
Want to share yours? Post it in a space where you gather—or ask someone what’s lighting them up lately.
That’s often where the real energy begins.

They start with a person. A question. A curiosity.”
