Bringing out your Creative side!

It all started with our school’s “Paint Your Parking Spot” event, an annual tradition that lets seniors transform their designated spots into vibrant works of art. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to splash a little joy into everyday life and inspire anyone who walks by.

The design? A playful, Drake statement "If you’re reading this, I am late." It’s a fun nod to my sometimes tardy arrival but also a reminder not to sweat the small stuff. Life is too short not to find humor in our quirks!

Painting my spot was more than just an afternoon filled with messy fun and spontaneous creativity—it was a moment of connection. Friends came by to add their artistic touches and share laughs, each brushstroke adding to what became more than just a personal project, but a collective piece of art. This also reinforced something important:

Creativity is a powerful tool for joy and mental health. It’s about making your mark, expressing yourself, and finding fun in the little things.

So, to all of you reading this: find a way this week to paint your own metaphorical parking spot. Whether it’s drawing, writing, or rearranging your space, let your creativity flow. Remember, it’s all about enjoying the process and the people you share it with.

Keep creating, keep inspiring, and yes, keep being fashionably late!
