GM creators! 🌱

We’re stepping into **Week 3** of the 2026 Calendar Challenge, and March is calling us to notice the quiet stirrings of new life.

How did your February piece feel? Share a photo, a short video, or just a line about what you discovered in the process. Let’s keep the community buzzing with inspiration.

### This week’s focus

**Core Theme:** *Awakening*

**Prompt:** “What is stirring beneath the surface?”

Imagine the subtle signals of spring: budding crocuses pushing through the soil, the fresh scent of rain showers, playful lambs and rabbits, or the bright green of a St. Patrick’s shamrock.

Some visual examples:

**Optional Creative Exercise**

1. Paint a watercolor “seed‑to‑sprout” sequence that captures the moment of emergence.

2. Take a 20‑minute nature walk, notice the hidden growth around you, and jot a quick journal entry about what you observed.

### Core Principle (reminder)

- One visual representation of the month each week

- Any medium you love: collage, paint, digital, found objects, etc.

- Focus on **process** over **product** – the act of creating is the reward.

Let’s bring March’s awakening to life together. Tag your work with #2026CalendarChallenge and #Awakening so we can all celebrate the sparks you’re igniting.

Can’t wait to see what’s bubbling beneath the surface for you! 🌿
