Am so excited to celebrate my absolute favorite holiday tomorrow….wishing it was longer than one day – instead of the gateway to the holiday frenzy.

Gratitude is the most powerful, incredible, force in life. We should pay attention to it far more often than once a year.

I am so grateful, for all of my dear friends, old and new, those here for a short while and those who are loyal….all have significant value in my life.

Grateful to live where I can see the ocean every day of my life, sunsets every evening, and see the whales migrate by.

Grateful for the challenges I’ve faced, some excruciatingly difficult, as they have shaped me into who I am today – and without them, I would not have the appreciation for the blessings that surround me.

Grateful my family had incredible courage and escaped tyranny and hardship to bring our family to this amazing country, and hopeful we can get it back to its intended glory.

Grateful for my parents, and brother, who have always supported me and loved me, who have been my greatest teachers in this journey.

Grateful to be able to share my heart with those who care to listen…..in my work with parents who allow me the opportunity to help their families. Eternal gratitude to you for the gift you give me every day.

Grateful my incredible little girl – who teaches me every day – and is the greatest gift I have ever received. I am honored to share my journey with her. Words cannot say or express the depth of this emotion.  I get overwhelmed when I allow myself to truly feel it.

What are you grateful for?

  1. Great list Erika! I am so grateful for the experiences that at first seem hard that later become the gateway to opportunity. Incredibly grateful for others seeing my value because without others seeing your beacon of light, the torch can become heavy.
