“My life doesn’t look anything like I wanted it to. How do I even keep going?”

Maybe you feel shipwrecked or stuck at a dead end. Maybe you feel foolish for daring to dream at all. When our dreams die, our vision of who we hoped to become often dies too. That’s when the Voice of Giving Up appears.  

Scott Erickson has had long midnight conversations with the Voice of Giving Up. He knows how fear and depression make the Voice especially loud. And he’s discovered that our darkest moments can become doorways to a deeper conversation about who we are, why we’re here, and how the future bursts with possibilities if we are willing to say yes to the gift of life on the other side of the death of a dream.

Through thought-provoking illustrations and insights, Say Yes is a profound exploration of beginning again after experiencing deep disappointment or lost hope. You’ll find an unexpected way forward as Scott shares his own story, using his unique gift of diving into difficult moments with humor and grace.

Learn the mental health and spiritual practices Scott developed as he illuminates how the Giver of your existence hasn’t bailed on your life but is preparing you for a more connected and dynamic one.

You’re not done yet. Not even close.

 

From a practice, to a talk, to a show, to a book…

The contents of this book started off as practices that I had to develop to make it through one of the darkest times of my life. After a couple years, I felt I needed to compile them in something that I could share with an audience. As I began to do this, I was seeing that it was really resonating with people, so I began to make it into entertaining performance piece involving storytelling, image curation, live art making, and some good ole liturgical karaoke. The show became:

SAY YES: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up on Yourself

“Juxtaposing story-teaching, participation, humor, and image curation, artist Scott Erickson walks us through the very personal and universal conversation about the death of a dream and the overwhelming voice of Giving Up in our lives.

Say Yes: A Liturgy of Not Giving Up on Yourself is a multi-sensory experience that reveals this moment not as an ending but as a sacred doorway into a much deeper invitation to our hopes, vocation, and our existence itself."
