Gratitude is a magical thing….here in this space of giving thanks, we engage in a sweet love affair with what is always abundant, ourselves. So here it is, my sweet serenade of gratitude: I’d like to begin by letting out a loud and clear THANKKKKYOOOUUU to my pain. For it is you pain, that has…
Unify
| October 28, 2011 | Posted by Erin under Creating, Freedom, New York City |
It’s time to own what has been here all along, the infinite. All throughout my childhood I was the extra curious child that continuously asked all of the questions that most people did not have or feel like giving the answers to.

Being; floating in endless space
| October 18, 2011 | Posted by Erin under Creating, Freedom |
It’s a fascinating concept to think about how we are born and die in the moment, yet spend the majority of our life someplace else.

Today I was sitting on the Subway listening to music and waiting to disembark in two stops, when a young woman caught my attention.

While standing in the long security line at the airport today, I was honored to speak with a woman standing vibrantly in her courage. The woman was traveling from Australia, bound for NYC, where she will take a 10 night cruise to Quebec. I wished them (including an Australian man in front of me, as…

One thing that has become clear on this world adventure and perhaps one truth that I would say is of high importance to accept, respect, and honor is that everything /everyone has its own journey. Such a simple truth, yet often clouded by our perceptions of what is how things should be. A Book’s…
Riding The Waves Of Life
| August 30, 2011 | Posted by Erin under Creating, Freedom, Philippines |
I am sitting in the local café, with a postcard view of the beach through the sliding glass doors, reflecting on the wild waves that are crashing into the shore in a more relaxed form today. Typhoon Mina has taken temporary housing in the South East China Sea, and of course the wind and waves…
