WEEK 11 - It's the sign you've been waiting for...

Hey HOMwork friends, happy Friday!

(If this is your first time joining us, take a peek at our Challenge Archive for all previous assignments.)

Raise your hand if you've ever been stuck on a decision, and thought to yourself, “I just need a sign...then I’ll know what to do."

My hand is totally raised right now. Don't worry, you're not alone! Lately in my life, I've been dragging my feet on business decisions. Should I work on X project or Y project? Should I launch my new class in May or June? The list goes on.

If you’re waiting on the universe to give you a sign, you could be waiting for a really long time. So this week, we're taking fate into our *own* hands.

OMG FREE BRUSHES!

I drew my artwork with a lovely set of Procreate brushes from DesignCuts, and they're giving all HOMwork subscribers two FREE brushes from the same set.

Your Assignment: Have you been waiting for a sign to do something? Letter or illustrate the exact ‘sign’ you've been waiting for.

Take some time to think about where you feel stuck. Maybe somewhere in your career, relationships, or daily life that deep down you KNOW you need that little extra push to take the next step.

Make the sign and take a picture of you holding it up, mock it up as a billboard for the whole world to see, or turn it into a little note you stick on the mirror just for you. This is a great exercise in reminding yourself that you're in control of your own path and that even though it might be romantic to wait around for a definitive sign, it's also pretty great to take charge and be your own beacon.

Examples:
"Go on, ask them out!"
"It's time to quit your job!"
"You're ready for this! Move to _____"

Caption Idea: Tell us what you're going to do now that you've been given a sign to do it (from yourself haha)! Or tell us a story about a time the universe actually did deliver you a sign.  


Don't forget to tag me @homsweethom and use the hashtag #HOMwork so I can see all your signs! I'll be sharing my faves in my Stories all week!

Love,
Lauren
