Love this. It’s about what’s on your heart…. And how you express it. Your readers will feel it. That’s what matters. Great story and I miss Christian dearly.
Aww, we miss you and your family too, Jeff! Darcy and I talked about how we want to get to Ervik much more often, and it would be amazing to do a cousins trip sometime! (Also, I love being called "big cuz.")
What a moving & beautiful post. I’m so sorry about your brother, but how deeply important and meaningful that your family were able to bring him to the shores of your family home to let him go. What a strong story. Tears are in my eyes thinking of it. Bless you ❤️
I love love it. Kelcey I am so glad you shared all this. I fear all the same things all the time about not having a style, not knowing what to write about having a boring life. Its so good to know we are not alone and Your stories are beautiful and smart and touching and I am so glad you are sharing them with all of us.
This is so nice of you to say, Sumayya! The best thing about this creative journey (I just remembered that's your newsletter title!) is connecting with folks like you who are not only amazing artists and storytellers, but who also GET IT: the questions, the doubts, the doing-it-anyway. xo
Your writing about your heritage is wonderful. Loved reading and seeing your illustrations!
Thank you so much, Barb! And thanks for letting me know who you are! :)

Thank you for these words about the story--and Christian. xo
You’re so talented big cuz! I hope to someday visit Ervik myself. Miss you, Christian and the “Other Ervick’s” everyday!
