The year of the fire horse begins

Fast forward movement, strength, resilience, stamina, independence are just a few of the characteristics of this new Chinese New Year beginning today. A rare event, happening every 60 years, where the fire elements meet the sign of the horse, building an incredible combo of goal-realizing energy to propel the most motivated and consistent.

It will demand of us bold actions and risk-taking towards the reality we envision for ourselves, which I'm getting quite familiar with at this point, but this year feels even more important as so many aspects of my life are falling apart and coming together.

I recorded this vlog last week for YouTube to give an honest update on what's been happening in my life since the beginning of 2026, and it's been very heavy for the most part.

It's an uncomfortable video filled with uncomfortable emotions that isn't for the faint of heart. You may skip it if you prefer to stay in higher creative vibrations, and I can assure you the next one will be back on such vibrations, but since life isn't always jolly, I felt it was important to also display all sides of life and how creativity has helped and continues to help me even in dark times.

It may not show much in this YouTube update, but I'm very positive and excited about what this year will be about. All my goals are laid out in front of me, and I see a clear path towards them. It doesn't mean it will be easy, but it certainly is illuminated, and I just need to continue advancing towards it, even on darker days, while remembering why I even ventured in that direction to begin with.

I'm looking forward to connecting with my community on Patreon and YouTube about our goals and how quickly we are walking toward our dreams.

If you're into sharing your creative practice with me on February 25, I'll be live-streaming our first Art Jam on Patreon for the members of the ArtFanClub and Tribe from 3pm to 6pm (CET - Central European time).

Until then, I wish you a happy beginning to this year of the fire horse and send you a lot of creative vibes. No matter how your year started, the potent energy of the fire horse will surely push away all the darkness and bring the light. All you have to do is to keep walking towards it Thank you for watching this video, if you are, and see you in my next video if you decide to skip it.
