A Personal Message From Erika

Never stop learning, we learn through what we want for our lives. Live as if everything you dream and desire is at your fingertips. What can seem like a far-fetched idea, is really just in need of vision and strategy. Everything we feel, we think, we do. So keep feeling and dreaming. I put my heart and soul into my work – whether it be writing or other projects. Reading my written work, is getting to know me as a person.
