The Healing Wind

The gentle wind grazes her shoulders

And whispers in her ear

“Even though you can not see me

I am always here

I am here to bring you comfort

In this time of need

I hear your painful cries

And I am here to take the lead

There are things beyond your control

That you may not understand

The pain you carry is unnecessary

Surrender to me, I’ll hold your hand

There’s a lesson to be learned

A burdened heart teaches you grace

In trying to control too much

You are tainting your own fate

Your coarse of life is changing

Step left and you’ll land right

It’s time to heal my baby

It is time to shine your light

You are here to inspire many

But you need your time to heal

You need to lean toward truth

It’s time to address what you feel

Life is a ride baby

But you don’t need to hang on tight

Your eyes are closed; Your walls are up

You will miss the breathtaking sights

Slow down.

Take time to breathe.

Lean into my strength

I will embrace you

I will teach you faith

Lean into my strength even though you can not see me

I will teach you Faith

Open your eyes and heart wide

Let go, and together we shall sing

Together we shall sing."

Me, Myself and Rogue.

Hello Readers! I ask you to connect to the picture below for a few moments. Remember her?  Rogue: the powerhouse from  X-Men. She had the ability to absorb the memories, physical strength and remove the specialities of almost anyone she touches.  Sounds pretty cool, right?  Well, the storyline built around her is that she needed to avoid all physical contact until she gained full control over her power. It affected her romantic relationship with Gambit. Imagine not being able to hug or show affection because you could kill another human being?  In moments of desperation, Rogue turned to Professor X to seek help to control her powers. It took a while for her to be accepted; it was the persistence and the compassion of Professor X to allow the others to give her a chance.  In many ways, I truly connect with her character. This wave of nostalgia joined me when my best friend randomly said, "Omg- E! You are soooo Rogue. You internalize e...

In this moment.

I don't know what to write today. I just know that I have to. No, I choose to. I have been grateful enough to get to know myself on a deep level.  During the journey, I am understanding what I want to create out of life.  I've had to ask myself repeatedly: What are you willing to do Erika?  Today, I am willing to face the truth that I still have a heavy burden on my heart. Disappointment. Abandonment. Loss. Guilt. Fear. The list goes on and on. While I have forgiven those who have hurt me, I discovered that I haven't forgiven myself.  This is causing a big disconnect in my life.  The reality is: I am a responsible adult. So, I chose to look at the areas that carried the most weight on my heart. How do/did I contribute to these situations? What was I responsible for? What can I do differently?  I also asked myself: Am I enough? My heart opened up and immediately looked at my sense of humor. At first, I thought this was odd. I looked at the se...

5 days of Clarity. Welcome 2014

Experience has gotten me out of my head.  When you step out, it’s really powerful! How much time do we spend in our own heads, a place that is so comforting but is as empty as a loft space with no heating and cracked windows. Rats are roaming the floors yet there a hint of light shine through the cracks. If this were a home renovation (which it is), I would be able to envision the possibility. There are possibilities for my mind: it’s a matter of rearranging furniture. Radical compassion is working!   I find myself  trusting in and seeking God.  What you seek, you will find; it has shown up in fellowship and service of others.  I am accepting of my flaws, clear about my strengths, and what I want to contribute to the world.  I believe in familial curses as much as blessings. I believe throughout the generations, the hope is that each one will improve upon the last. (Obviously, that’s not always the case). For years, I have struggl...
