The Good. ✨Sparkatron Fall Edition | Get on the Waitlist 🎡 A delightfully unhinged 21-day experiment against despair, exhaustion & the audacity of adulthood. Be kind.

Join us ›› https://nostalgia.thisisthegood.ca/sparkatron-3000 Can simple acts of goodness, done everyday for 30 days, make you a happier person? What if it could have an even greater impact than just a change within yourself? What if it could also change the trajectory of someone else's life? What if, all of us, actively practicing kindness, empathy, and goodness together, could slowly start to CHANGE THE WORLD? We can all stand to be kinder. Practice less judgement. Have more empathy, less vitriol. Act with more goodness, less hate. Let's resist writing hateful comments. Let's take the time to learn about other cultures and races. Let's actually say hello to strangers. Let's look up from our phones and smile at people. Let the car in front of you go. Put yourself in someone else's shoes, if even for a moment.

30 simple acts. 1 every day. Do good stuff. Feel all the feels. Repeat indefinitely.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 14 🎡

Yay!! We made it.

For the final day, you get to choose.

Pick your fave thing from the last 13 days. Redo it. Or pick something you didn't get around to the first time. Or do whatever feels like Defiant Joy to you.

Then celebrate with a high kick, a villainous cackle, a dramatic bow, a slow nod to the universe. You know the drill.

*If you enjoyed this & wanna keep the party going, check out my link in bio. The next round of Sparkatron starts late fall 2026.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 13

Today, be a fan.

Tell someone you like what they're doing. Leave the glowing review on the product or service you tried and loved. Send the nice message. Hype up your friend's business. Tell the artist you love their work.

We don't say nice things nearly enough.

So go make someone's day.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 12

Today, do some good.

Hold the door. Leave a nice comment. Pick up some litter. Donate $5. Buy someone a coffee. Tell someone they're doing a good job. Help somebody out. Check in on someone who's having a rough time.

Nothing huge. You don't have to save the world.

Just do one small good thing and put a little more good out there.

Then quietly disappear into the night, cape billowing behind you.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: Day 11

Do one thing differently today.

Take a different route. Eat breakfast for dinner. Listen to a genre of music you never normally listen to. Watch a movie you wouldn't usually pick. Sit somewhere different. Try something new.

Nothing major. Just interrupt your usual programming for a minute.

When you're done, whisper, “They'll never see it coming.”

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 10

Today, think of someone you haven't talked to in a while.

Someone you care about. Someone you miss. Someone who randomly pops into your head now and then.

Send them a message.

It doesn't have to be deep. Just, "Hey, I was thinking about you today."

Or send them a crazy meme. That's also a perfectly valid form of communication.

Then after you hit send, dramatically walk away from your phone like you've completed a very important mission. (Because you have!)

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 9

Today, I want you to waste some time. But in a good way.

Play a game. Colour. Doodle. Build something stupid. Watch baby goat videos. Lie on the floor and listen to music. Whatever.

Do something that doesn't need to make money, improve your life, teach you anything, or accomplish a damn thing.

Just because you feel like it.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 8

Today, I want you to let the music move you.

Put on something that gets you moving and dance your little heart out. Or sway. Sing at the top of your lungs in the shower. Belt it out while you're driving in the car.

Whatever works.

When the song is over, take a bow. Obviously. And then cue up another song.

14 DAYS OF DEFIANT JOY: DAY 7

Today we laugh.

Find something that makes you laugh. A stupid video. A terrible joke. A meme. Something your kid said. A weird thing you saw somewhere. Whatever.

Then post it here so we can all have a laugh too. We need this.

Let's see what you've got.
