Could you generate a smile?

My heart is smiling today. My gift to myself was to take a plunge into the unhealthy habits I have.

An Integrative Hypnotherapy session with my friend, Victoria revealed to me that I had this unconscious belief that I had to be sick (or small, weak) in order to be connected to my family and in relationship to other people. I am proud to share that is no longer the case.

The tools that I have supporting me is an amazing support system who hold me very high and accountable, my own inner strength and the ability/resources to interrupt patterns and choose different.

My purpose is being revealed to me everyday. I repeat the word: "In every way, everyday, I'm getting better and better" - as the days go by, I find that manifestation is coming to life, and I want to spend my life ensuring others learn to tap into their intrinsic strength.

My challenge to all of you, dear readers, is could you help at least one person ?

How many smiles could we generate?

With Love,

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...

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...
