I don't know how, but I WILL someday.



I have been letting anger, frustration and doubt get the best of over the past few weeks. 

I'll share my discovery. 

What has finally worked for me was to be an observer of my thoughts. 


As someone who tries not to be judgmental of others, I am certainly Supreme Court Justice with herself. 

And so I resign..

My vision for this blog is to share my personal observations, challenges, solutions and offer an honest, impacting observations and lessons created out of love. 

As a loving person with others, I am learning how to cultivate that relationship with myself. 

The pendulum swings slower these days but as I was reminded by a friend, I have to celebrate my progress. In other words, it's the journey that is unique to me allow me to grow and forward myself. 

So what better time to celebrate then my birthday. On Thursday,  I will be 28 years young. 

My vision is big and over the past year, I have been blessed with time, resources and drive to go back to school to pursue something that engages me, and will prepare me for the future. 

I've been stuck in the mental rut of fear but am channeling that into an adventure of creation. 

My vision is to simply make as many people's hearts smile as possible.. 

I don't have all the answers, the knowledge..but I have the heart, courage and drive..

"I don't know how, but I WILL someday" 

So, my journey begins..again... 

With love always,
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...

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...

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...
