The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support that has been shown following the loss Erika.

Thank you for sharing how you attracted peace 🕊️ It brought new life and inspiration to me. Yesterday I had to adjust to an unexpected change, which felt frustrating at first. Overnight, I was able to craft a story of hope and positivity, leading to the realization that the change in circumstances support me. Empowered with a new story, I feel peace within. It’s a baby step back to truth that I’m supported by a loving universe. And it’s credit to you who sent me your peace, your inspiration, your wisdom, love and courage - your willingness to pause and sense peace. Thank you. I’m grateful.

I didn’t think this invitation would be issued this way, ever. But much in life is unexpected. I expected to offer this invitation at the height of feeling wise and mentor-ish. Instead I’m offering at the lowest point where I am living with the gap. I’ve been living on hold, deep in the shadows - maybe that’s too blah blah - but let’s say it’s been an extremely challenging journey physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. And I arrived in these moments seeking peace. A few years ago, when I was wiser, I developed a program about following a path to joy. There were 12 words to meditate upon. Each word was a signpost. One was peace. Anyway, I’m there - exploring peace. Remembering peace is within and also without (what I see outside of me). That my view from within is what is reflected to me. So I’m inviting you to join me in seeing peace, feeling peace and experiencing peace today.

Every breath is a gift. Even the painful ones. Feeling gratitude and appreciation for all of life - life experiences and all living things - in this moment of breath.

Your ability to go outside and enjoy nature is a gift. It sounds simple and we take it for granted… but it isn’t always available.
