Giving Tuesday

When I was reminded that today is Giving Tuesday, my first thought was "Oh no." In this season of the year, in this season of life, I am giving so much of myself already. I don't have any more left. And I am not OK with that. So today, I will first give to myself. Second, donate to asylum seekers. (Quote and hand lettering by Emily PG Erickson)

Sometimes you have to put on your own oxygen mask first before you can help others, especially when you’re giving so much of yourself already as a parent.

Writing Is Like Driving A Car At Night

“Writing is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” (Quote E.L. Doctorow, Ragtime: A Novel; hand lettering by Emily PG Erickson)

You don’t need to see the whole path to make progress.

Telling Our Stories

“I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.” (Quote by Janet Mock; hand lettering by Emily PG Erickson)

Being honest about who we are is good for the collective.
