Hi Reader ,

Wowsers — it’s been a hot minute since I popped into your inbox. I hope you had a beautiful holiday season with the people who matter most to you, and that you found a little time to do something that fills your cup… like doodling.

I took a short break (literally and figuratively — I managed to break my wrist 😅), but the break's over and I’m back now with a free gift to help you step into the new year in a creative, intentional way.

I’ve created a doodle-your-year page that helps you reflect on what you’re bringing into 2026, what you want to focus on, and what you might want to be mindful of along the way. I just used this exact activity with a group of high school students last week — and I’ve also used it with teachers and adult groups. It works beautifully whether you want to go deep or keep it light and playful.

Click the image below to download the printable page and the prompts that go with it.

If you use it, I’d love to hear how it goes — just hit reply and tell me one word or one doodle that came up for you.

I’m really excited about what 2026 holds for SoDoodleDe. Keep an eye out for details about my upcoming “Doodle Your 2026 Word” class — it’s always a favorite. There’s something powerful about turning a word into a simple image and keeping it where your eyes (and your brain) can see it every day. When we pair words with visuals, they stick — and that’s one of the reasons I love doodling so much.

Until next time!

Doodle On!
