After a hard day of throwing up, my 4-year-old was still a little wobbly. But by the end of the week, he was ready to play Tarzan, swinging from his stuffed animal net like it was a jungle vine. It didn’t end well for the wall — one of the hooks came right out! — but his energy was back.
What amazes me is how quickly kids bounce back. They don’t tiptoe around creativity after a setback — they leap right back in, full of imagination and laughter.
That resilience is its own creative lesson: don’t wait until everything feels perfect to start again. Sometimes the best spark comes when you swing right back into it.
👉 Mini challenge: Think of one area you’ve been holding back in — and take a small leap back in today.

From my road to yours, happy wandering.
