I’m baaaack!!!

Whew! Vacation was magnificent! I feel rested and my mind is clear and it feels great! I really need to make sure I get away more often. I took some great pictures to post but I haven’t had a moment to get them off of my cell phone camera (yes, I forgot my camera!).

There was something very special about getting away to the mountaintop. I literally took the ski lift all the way to the mountain peak and was able to look down and remember just how much dominion God gave each of us.

I went to a resort in Virginia with my friend Donna and I read, relaxed, danced, walked, slept, prayed, meditated, wrote, and worked on some projects while I was up there. I am not sure how to put it, but I feel like I fully expanded into the fullness of who I am.

It really took getting away to unplug. I was able to take off the many hats I wear and just tend to my own needs. I did not take any coaching clients, I did not do anything that I did not feel like doing.

Since I’ve been back, my mother flew in from Seattle on Monday to visit. It is so magnificent to see her! She came on my daughter’s 13th birthday. I feel so blessed to have such a special family that so deeply supports my work.

Now, it’s time to fully get back in the groove and bust some things out on a new level. I really heard from God while I was gone and know what He has assigned for me. The challenge is always taking control of my time in a way that gets the work done.

I am working on the finishing touches for a new e-book for The Fearless Revolution participants, setting up 2 Affiliate programs, launching the marketing for my live Raleigh workshop in June this week. And, of course, continuing to expand The Fearless Revolution. I am so excited about things right now, it is literally hard to contain myself.

This week is all about flowing and being present to my mother in the midst of getting the tasks done that are set before me. Oh, and still trying to get to bed on time. I just love being up late at night getting things done, but it is not conducive to the schedule I need to keep. I tell you, when I get my sleep, I get 10x’s more things done.

I also have to know that it is not by my works that God blesses me, it is by His grace and mercy and my faith and belief. This gives me much peace to know that things are moving on my behalf in the spiritual realms as I am being present in the natural realm.

I will download the pictures and get them posted so you can see the incredible views that I got to enjoy on my mountain top vacation. Have a blessed week and I’ll “talk” to you soon!

Love, Ericka

What are your dominoes?

Over the last years of my working one-on-one with people, I have created my own vocabulary. I call them “Ericka-isms.” Today is about my “Ericka-ism” called the domino.

I consider dominoes those things that if you focus on doing them, everything else falls into place. Imagine a line of dominoes and the first one being all it takes to set off the others. I have dominoes in every area of my life.

As I move toward re-aligning my body with full health, my domino is to have a Mango smoothie in the morning. Having my smoothie puts me on the right track all day long. Another domino is exercise. When I exercise, I make the right food choices and feel incredible. When I don’t, something feels off.

My domino in my spiritual life is to review my Pastor’s sermons and Bible Studies and write out all of the scripture from the previous lesson. When I do this first thing in the morning, my spirit gets realigned with The Holy Spirit and I feel like I can breath more deeply. When I don’t, my days get started in what feels like a whirlwind.

My domino for my schedule is to write my To-Do list and prioritize my items. On tight days I even block out the times for me to actually complete the items. Yesterday and today are those types of days. In order to complete everything, I have to focus in like a laser beam. It sounds intense, but it actually keeps me feeling free and clear.

I have even figured out my daughter’s dominoes to smooth out this process of raising her. As much as she loves to cook, she truly needs me to make sure there is good, healthy home-cooked food in the house. She also operates better when we are not just on time, but early. If I do those things for her, she stays in a great place and things feel so much better to me. It also keeps me from feeling too much pressure with motherhood (which is the challenge of my life!)

Honoring my dominoes keeps me encouraged and moving forward while staying truly plugged into my vision. What are your dominoes? When you figure them out, they will change your life!

Have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon!

Love, Ericka
