Sometimes our most inspired moments come from the simplest challenges.

A Year of Weeks encourages us to do a very simple but difficult thing: try something new every week. With engaging illustrations and thoughtful prompts, this journal inspires us to stretch ourselves each day--ensuring that by the end of the year, we've experienced the lessons and growth necessary to head into the next with confidence and an open heart.--Meera Lee Patel, author of Create Your Own Calm, Start Where You Are, and My Friend Fear

I fell in love with this charming and motivating book. It's gorgeous, very cool, and Erica's warmth comes through in her step-by-step, innovative guide.--Lilla Rogers, founder of Lilla Rogers Studio

What a great idea. Erica's illustrations and insights together are so wonderfully digestible, whimsical, and peace- and curiosity-inducing. From the first time I saw Erica's work I saw her precious mind in the turn of a pencil stroke, her patience and humor, and that voice is right there in this book. Each activity and illustration gifts me a totally stress-free task to engage me further as a person, as a mom, as someone who wants to do more and is sometimes so overwhelmed by the wait and rush of this ride. This book makes me feel younger. Get it for yourself. And everyone you like. And a special one for someone you loathe. It's a win-win. --Selma Blair, actor and activist
