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
PS. I’m going to write my next message from my vacation spot in the mountains of Virginia! Yeah! I’ll tell you all about it!

About Ericka
Ericka D. Jackson, Evangelist & Author, guides you in fulfilling God’s vision for your life without fear or hindrances.
Ericka was 12 years old when she discovered her gift of speaking: Her seventh grade classmates responded to her campaign speech with a standing ovation. She has been making audiences rise to their feet ever since. Her anointing as a speaker and humor as a natural entertainer converge to create a life-changing experience for her audiences.
She believes that the best adventure of all is to live fully on purpose for Jesus. God has released her gifts of hearing His voice, teaching, prophecy, deliverance and healing for such a time as this. Through obedience and complete surrender, Ericka shares precious lessons of God’s Kingdom across the nation.
While she grew up in the church and gave her life to the Lord at a young age, it has been over the last 14 years that God has taken her through a process of being broken and “emptied out” so she could be rebuilt in accordance to His will.
Eight years ago she walked away from her corporate job to fulfill God’s calling on her life.
Her testimony is one of overcoming, forgiveness, faith and unyielding pursuit of the word of God. She is the author of five books and numerous CD’s. She studies under Apostle Elijah Forte at Zion Christian Training Center and lives in North Carolina with her daughter, Kalii.
