Holly over at Osborn Extravaganza asked her audience what posts they enjoyed most, what they wanted to hear more about, etc. so she could better plan her blog. I want to copy her with that as well (thanks Holly, you’ve been so helpful). So in her essence and in the words of Adam Lambert, ‘whataya want …

2017 Recap
First of all, for those who have noticed, let me give my apologies for being so M.I.A. lately. I’ve been putting more focus into the Pat Pierce blog and the general busyness of life has gotten in the way of my writing. So hi, let me reintroduce myself, I’m Erika (hi, Erika), here today to share …
Friday Favorites 9.15.17
Halfway through September? How is this possible? This week’s (and the weeks I missed leading up to this one) favorites include: Favorite Music: Live James Blunt and Ed Sheeran Favorite music of course is the concert my mom and I recently went to. I honestly had forgotten how much I loved James Blunt’s voice. He …
Self-Care

Life
What a couple of weeks it’s been. Full of contradictory feelings, mixed emotions. From celebrations with family and the joyous news of new babies to a funeral for a sudden loss of soul taken too soon and word of loved ones struggling with the inability to conceive. Excitement of seeing distant family members but also the …
I quit.
Secure job. Meaningful work. More money than I’ve ever made. Yet with all those things I wasn’t satisfied. We live in a world where we think that if you have all those things you’d be crazy to give them up. Selfish even for wanting something different or more. However, I couldn’t kick the feeling that …
