I'm kind of sad this little sign sold so quickly at one of the craft fairs, is it wrong that I secretly want to keep them all? But it found such a good home - a sweet teen bought it for her mom for Christmas! I just love seeing all the light and love that's out there, and seeing a teen put someone else ahead of themselves is one of the most beautiful things 💕 Happy Monday, everyone!

As many times as I've become mesmerized by handlettering videos, I figured I might as well give it a try! If you need me, I'll be watching YouTube tutorials. 😆 Any of you handlettering pros have tips for me?

Short, sanitized caption: Words I know to be true 💕

Longer, more complicated and honest caption: This morning, I got up all excited to calligraphy an MLK quote - one that spoke to me, but also was beautiful and appealing. So I googled “MLK quotes” and found one I liked and created this piece. But when I was preparing to post, something felt off. I felt like I didn’t have the right to just take a snippet of this man’s words without looking deeper into what he actually stood for. So I did some digging and am realizing that he didn’t just call for love and equality and freedom in a soft fuzzy way, he called for radical action as well. I feel immensely grateful that the freedom I yearn for is creative freedom, the freedom to live my life doing the work that makes me happy. And I don’t want to forget that it was the extreme and courageous actions of people like Martin Luther King Jr and Fred Korematsu who made that possible. Those are just some of my messy thoughts that I didn’t want to just hide away. So thanks for letting me put them out there ❤️
