Guess who's back, Back again.

Holy August! It's hot today.

I am back blog readers! This time, with vengeance.

My heart is doing backflips.

I am so grateful to be alive. My vision is clear. My goals are on paper. I'm not all talk, I am taking action.

It's amazing how I would allow confusion to get the best of me. In fact, I am a someone who knows what she wants. I am a powerful woman. Now, I am focused.

When I looked in the mirror today, I saw myself as a woman...A mature, loving and urgent woman-open to all of life's possibilities, intellectually active and working everyday to create a loving atmosphere, both online and offline.

I've begun to work on my vision of building my own brand. As I embark on this journey, I will blog about it.

Wishing you a peaceful evening ahead.

Xoxo,
Erika

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...

Boom, Boom..BAM

The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and my head is pounding. I have been caught up in the momentum and the flow of life; taking more action then I am used to a sit is increasing everyday. Today, I am physically less energetic then I was yesterday, but I have the ability to push myself to do what needs to get done. What's on my mind today? Grace and acceptance. Allowing myself to just be and giving myself the space to rest and rejuvenate. I've heard it's the journey that strengthens your character. Right now, I am being tested, and I have and will only get stronger. My anxious mind was at war with my grateful heart. I had to tell it to shut the HECK up. I have good problems, the freedom of choice. I am grateful for that. I am grateful for supportive loved ones..But, choices are freakin' expensive. NYC is expensive. The reality is you have to compromise somewhere. Compromising and settling are not one in the same. It has i...

Tis the season..of TRANSFORMATION

Yesterday, I attended a Toy Drive that was organized by a powerful leader named Damien. Toys and resources were donated and will be delivered to families over the next week. Fun was at the heart of this drive as participants bowled and mingled. I was only there for thirty minutes and was completely humbled by the compassion and love. Seven attendees joined me to support me t o spread holiday Cheer, in holiday gear at the Covenant House; Young men and women (some with children) are offered housing and food for around 30 days as a place to start off. My experience was all that I wanted it to be and more. I was dressed in a Santa Hat, with me, were special reindeer and elves that helped to deliver candy canes and chocolate during meal time. At first, I thought how ridiculous we looked to people of this age group...That went away as soon as I saw a smile..I focused out.. and when I did, I saw my friends (some new ones) sit dow...
