Celebrate My Mom's Birthday with me, today.

Today is my Mom's birthday. I miss her.
She's a very talented, self-taught artist.

Would you like to see some of her work??

She's a great realist, and I featured her on my very first blog:
https://lifeblazing.wordpress.com/featured-artist/

At that time, we were always within an hour of each other.
Now, we have 2,900 miles and a world re-set between us.

Art was the bridge that connected us.
Drawings and sculpture. Theater. Dance. 

In those ways, Chicago was perfect for us.
I wish we were there now. Together. With cake.

Happy Birthday, Mom.
We must make new memories, when we are able.

All my love,
​Erika 💗

    The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

    ​But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

    Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

    (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

    The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." 

    This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

    And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

    For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth.     ✍🏾​
