Seeking Out Sunshine

LET'S CELEBRATE!!!! LIVE Q&A!!!🥰

I can hardly believe that I woke up this morning to 500+ of your beautiful souls that want to be part of my journey! I am absolutely blown away, and my heart is SO FULL OF GRATITUDE for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!

When I started this journey 4 months ago, I really wanted to give myself a space to reconnect with the little girl full of spunk and endless creativity that has been shelved and hidden throughout my adult life. I wanted a space that I could once again feel fearless to try things, without being afraid to fail or look silly. And what has happened along the way is that I am not only finding myself again little by little, but I am inspired to be a light to help others do the same.

My hope is and will continue to be that this channel inspires YOU to BELIEVE in YOURSELF. That each time you leave a video of mine, you are excited to try something new or find new ways to be creative in your own lives, whether that is on your coloring pages, in your journals, or in life in general. I hope that you too, are finding your footing to step out in life more freely and unapologetically yourself! That you are realizing the world NEEDS YOUR SPARKLE everywhere you go! And that you BELIEVE in the ENDLESS potential you are ALWAYS!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be part of your days. For gifting me with your time, your likes, your beautiful comments and your thoughtful surprises!

To celebrate this milestone, I would like to do a Channel Q&A....and hopefully do it LIVE. 😬 EEEEEKKKK!!! This is something that terrifies me...but you all give me strength to be brave! And this whole journey is about stepping outside my comfort zone to believe in what can be!

So what questions do you have for me? What do you want to know about me or my coloring journey or life journey? What do you want to discuss? I will do my best to answer any and all questions, as long as they are appropriate for me to answer.😉

I can't wait to spend some time with each of you LIVE very soon!

Again...Thank you for your LOVE and SUPPORT!

All My Love & Sunshine✨🫶🏼☀️

Thank you for giving me this gift in this new space! ✨I am truly so lucky to be meeting so many beautiful souls that are cheering me on and following my journey. I hope all of you also feel like you are able to show up unapologetically in this space as your true, beautiful, and authentic selves and feel the love and sunshine reciprocated back.🫶🏼
What an example we can be to younger generations that are struggling to find their way and their people! What if we all just gave one another grace instead of judgement, acceptance instead of criticism, and love instead of hatred?

What would our world look like then? ☀️

Sending you all so much love and sunshine this Tuesday! I hope your day is bright and full of blessings! ✨🫶🏼☀️

Thankful for @yourbeautifullife on Instagram for sharing this post! 🥰

✨Today marks 3 months since my very first upload to "Seeking Out Sunshine," and I can hardly believe that we have grown our community to over 200 beautiful souls in that short amount of time. I feel so honored that each of you have given me the opportunity to share my heart and love for coloring and creating. It is not easy to put yourself out there to the world in a new capacity and in front of an audience of strangers at that. My sincere appreciation for every view, like, comment, and subscribe.

My goal is continue to grow on this creative journey and hopefully inspire you all to be brave to show up in all the ways your hearts are calling you to do so as well. I will continue to strive to make this a community where you feel safe and seen and also celebrated for the incredible light you are in this world. ✨

I would LOVE your feedback, as this will help me as I continue to make plans and navigate the future of "Seeking Out Sunshine."

Here are a few questions to consider~ I would love any feedback you would be willing to share with me. ☺️

Do you have a series that you are enjoying the most?

Hello beautiful friends! Here is my completed page from my most recent "Stroke of Sunshine" Weekly WIP video. I had so much fun trying out my new Ruben Pearlescent watercolors with all of you during the video and went on to finish it with a Neo Color II and oil pastel background. You can watch me start this page here: https://youtu.be/2e1Cv_u_L-0

Has anyone else coloring in this Dr. Seuss coloring book? I would LOVE to see your pages! Post them in the comments for our community to see.✨

Seeking Out Sunshine

Hello my beautiful friends! ☀️ I am launching my NEW SERIES ✨"Let You Light Shine"✨ today! If you have been following me for a while, you have seen this segment during my Weekly WIPS series. After much reflection, I have decided to make a separate series for my "rays of sunshine" and will be calling it "Let Your Light Shine" moving forward.

I am so excited about this series and look forward to having more time to devote to the creative process, as well as more realtime reflection with how each card speaks to my heart and what this community may need here. I hope you gather all of your favorite art supplies and join me during this fun creative time where we can take a step back from our coloring pages and reconnect with our beautiful spirits.

You can check out Episode #1 below. This week's affirmation is: "The difficult relationships in my life are the perfect mirror for me to look more closely at my own behavior"

I plan to release future episode on Mondays! I would LOVE to see your creations and hear from you regarding this series, so don't be shy...let you BIG BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINE in the comments.

Sending you lots of love and sunshine for the week ahead.
❤️ Ashley
