Ericka's portrait 

Life is a great big canvas;
throw all the paint you can at it.
-- Danny Kaye

Talent is not talent until it is shared.
-- fortune cookie wisdom

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for
the opinion of others, for those voices.
Do the hardest thing on earth for you.
Act for yourself. Face the truth.
-- Katherine Mansfield

Sometimes it's a long journey, navigating the sticky strands. You're safe now. Pour yourself a cool drink of water. Have a look around, take a breath, and stay a few moments. Find out a bit about my life as a writer, teacher, and writing coach.

What's New?

Red Diaper Dharma

In this month's Red Diaper Dharma column "Holding," I learn to live (part-time) alone:

 

"A painting I did the first year Bill and I were together shows a field of green. In the center there's a floating bed, and in the middle of the bed two people, face to face, stare into each others' eyes and hold each other. That was what we were like those first years. We held each other and saved each other and were each other's everything."
