The One About Getting Started.

Hey there, I’m Erica. I’m first and foremost a wife and mother (yeah I know, I know, everyone says that…), a full time professional, a business owner and now apparently a blogger! Thanks for tuning in. I think I wanted to start writing because there’s so much out there for us in the sea of Google and YouTube; raising our expectations and demanding things to happen right now! “How to make 6 Figures Tomorrow”, “Sign Up and get $100”, “Use Other People’s Money & No Risk”. Ha! Man, marketing is good, damn you social engineering and those catchy titles ! While you can make things happen, they usually are never, ever, split second, life altering changes with little to no effort, risk, money, etc, right?  (The correct answer is, yes, those are fantasies). Success usually (let’s say most often) comes from small, persistent, compounded changes that over time mold and transform into something unrecognizable so when you are to look back it’s as though it seemed to have happened overnight. Sure, you have the exceptions, sure there’s luck, a good prayer and wine (for when it fails or to celebrate, or just whenever because wine is life). But, like the book/movie, “He’s Just Not That Into You”, we are not the exception, we are the rule. It sucks. I know. But as the old saying goes, “Such is life”. 

So, to preface this blog, it’s not a pour my heart out, tell all. Those are great. I love a good cry, believe me. Mine is more on the adventure of the struggle ‘thing’, the conquering those small steps that we all hate to take ‘thing’. But, hopefully as I write and revisit- I will see gradual improvements in this life and be of help to my readers along the way!

So, here’s to getting started, learning and writing about it, failing, falling, succeeding, falling again, getting up quickly and moving upward and onwards! Cheers!
