  • ‘Wow’ is just not a good enough response to such an amazing e-zine. I honestly didn’t think your Inspiration editions could get any better. I absolutely LOVE the new format and artists that you have featured this month. We just arrived home from our Memorial Day weekend trip so I’m going to take my time to read it word-for-word in the morning. But Erin, it’s going to be the perfect start to the week as I sit with a cup of coffee and read. Congrats!

  • this is my first look at one of your e-zines…i am so impressed erin! i am on my way over to look at your others.. oh you. you are an inspiration! thank you!

  • Awww, thank you, ladies! Yes, the new format is a change, so I’m glad to see you’re enjoying it, Kylie!

    It was quite fun to compile. :)

    All thanks to the contributors!

  • The e-zine looks awesome. Super fun issue. I’m so proud to be a tiny part of it. Thanks!

  • It’s absolutely gorgeous, Erin! Thanks so much for letting me be apart of it.

  • it’s my firs time reading the e-zine, it’s amazing, the pictures are amazing, and the format is amazing, i will go and have look to the previuos ones ;)

  • I’m always eagerly anticipating your monthly zines and this issue is one of my favourites. I love images of nature. Fabulous work, Erin!

  • Thank you! That was my first time. It’s beautiful. And I love the theme, nature.

    The images are beautiful and gentle. Like the music by Carla Bruni, Kristin Hersh, Elysian Fields. This sort of thing brings me the kind of feeling I call nature and nostalgia. Poetic and organic and touching. There is wisdom in the earth. :)

    I invite you check out my latest posts, photographs from my weekend trip to Bohol. The Beach and The River.

    Thanks again for sharing! ♥

    ps: I really think you should start charging for these or figure out another way to make some moola from them…you well deserve to be paid for all the work you put into them. Just a thought!

  • Oh Erin, IT’S GORGEOUS! I love it – every single page is beautifully photographed and written. Thanks so much for this.

    (PS: I agree with ms modish about charging.)

  • breath. take. ing.

    it’s just…effortlessly brilliant. and while i completely understand there is surely nothing effortless in the whole darn thing…wow. it’s good.

  • It’s so nice and inspiring to have text directly from the artist to accompany the images.

  • Sounds exciting – can’t wait to dig in – enjoy your day off!

  • Awww, thank you so so much you guys! Yall are the sweetest readers in the entire world. Truth.

    Jena and Krissy— I’ll see what I can do. ;) My main focus is to make the zine accessible for everyone (read: FREE!), but maybe we can work something out! ;)

  • Erin, this is seriously the best one yet — I love it! And I think it has even reached coffee-table-book status. :)
