An illustration of a female-presenting artist at work at an easel in a room with purple walls. Their back is to us and they are making oblong multicolored marks on a canvas. To the artist’s left a young person is drawing in a book on a blue floor in front of a bookshelf with multiple objects on it, including a record player and burning incense. The incense makes smoke that rises and forms the word, “vibrant.” To the artist’s left is a dog snoozing on a blue cushion underneath a dresser with a red and green candle burning next to a notebook, and a mirror with photographs on it. There is a shelf above the artist with plants and books. The footer text reads “#CMVIBRANT” and “Illustration by Isabel Ann Castro” to the left and “CreativeMornings” to the right.

Our theme for May is VIBRANT.

It was chosen by our San Antonio chapter and illustrated by Isabel Ann Castro.

When was the last time you experienced something that made you feel more alive?

Heard a melody pulsing with a beat that made your body move. Taken in the view of a lush landscape or sparkling city skyline bursting with light and shadows. Locked eyes with a striking stranger. Poured yourself into prose that crackles off the page with electricity. Lost track of time in a conversation punctuated by spirited laughter. Stopped in your tracks in front of a canvas in a museum or a mural on the street with colors so bold and bright it popped from the paint straight into your synapses.

It might not happen every day. But you can live a life full of energy and enthusiasm. You can strive to bring brightness into every interaction.

Because our world is full of all kinds of vibrant masterpieces. And you are one of them.
