But the Good Lord saw fit to place inside her the love of words. She wanted to quilt as well, but was so horrible at it she gave up.

I have not marketed the site or myself very well.
I have not stuck by my Read more of this blog post »

Erica’s Quotes

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

“If achieving world peace and ending poverty were really genuine concerns to the majority, then they would have happened already by now. So, either people are not aware of their collective power, or their fears overpower their desires. The amount of money spent on the military-industrial complex in one year is more than enough to end hunger in Africa. Every problem on earth today has more than one solution. However, priorities are determined by values.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.”
― Mary McLeod Bethune
