You are a miracle - Let it happen

About Me

Hi, I am Erika! I was born in Vienna but grew up in another part of Austria and in the Principality of Liechtenstein (within the Swiss Alps) where I still live. I am a wife and mom of three grown-up kids and work in a company for alternative investment funds (AIFM). I am also self-employed with my company Because You Matter where I offer physical and energetic treatments and produce natural cosmetics. Next to this all I am a singer, songwriter, and author.

For a long time, I was dominated and controlled by fears and outside influences.  From teenage times to adulthood, my life was overshadowed by destructive thought patterns. I believed this was what life had been meant to be for me since I never knew something else. But one day I stood up and started to face my fears one by one leading to many small and one big breakthrough moments (still counting). My life changed completely.  Today I grab my chances and lead the life I always wished for. To share my life-changing insights I wrote I’m Free – Awareness of Who You Are by Discovering Who You Are Not!

When I started blogging in May 2014 I had no idea what this was about. I did it to promote my book and was trained therefore by my publisher. Over time I have found my way of blogging and what I want to share with as many people as possible. So my blog has become a place for everyone to pause for a moment, lighten up the heart, smile, get inspired, and fuel with good vibes. We are all wonderful beings who came into this world to explore, discover, experience, create, and simply enjoy the given life in a human body with all senses. I want you to open your heart to hear, see, and feel clearer about yourself, your life, and the world. Therefore we need the happenings in our lives as signposts and tools. It is neither good nor bad – it simply is. Whatever happens, has its reason to show us something or make us develop something. Life is simply all about living with everything it has in store for us.

I am not sitting on a cloud with an enlightened smile on my face all day long. I am dealing with my challenges as everyone does. But since I believe what I wrote above I have no excuse. However, I can be angry, stubborn, impatient, sad, and frustrated. But I know these characteristics are part of my experience but not part of me. I am happy as a basic condition of my being. Therefore I don’t deny negative feelings because I know, they will show me something to discover a new part of myself.

Reach out for the stars
but only as high
as your feet can still touch the ground!

In Love and Light!

Hey Erika good morning! I wrote another story for you after I saw how much you enjoyed the last story. I call it ‘Beautiful Erika Kind’. We are friends in it and I am telling you the real life story of some of my growth as a writer through the years and the people and friends who helped shape me into the person that I am today. Hope you are having a good day!

Well I am very versatile when it comes to writing I have written gangster, drama, romance, sci fi, sports, horror, comedy, autiobiography, western all kinds but vampire stories are my favorite to write and the ones I write the most I liked Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing vampire movies growing up they are an inspiration but my vampire horror stories are mostly light hearted funny romance stories.

Yes I want to but right now I have been busy working on getting myself stable. I am not sure how to go about getting published and don’t have connections. My sister might be able to help me when she has the time she is busy right now. I will definitely give it my best shot. If it doesn’t work out it won’t matter to me because I’ll always be writing regardless and writing makes me happy. I integrate my friends into the stories and that makes them more special. My writing helps my friends and it helps me.It’s so much writing for my friends it’s a nice thing to do. A lot of my friends have been reading my work for 15 years. That loyal group of fans and friends who supported me from day one always find themselves in my writing. I also like to write for my friends who also suffer from mental illness it really makes a difference and helps them when they are struggling.

Wow, you really seem to be very big as a writer. I love the idea that you incorporate your friends or their stories into your stories. That truly gives your writings a special background and personality. Actually it gives your writings a soul. That is amazing. I totally relate that it is healing.
I don’t know about your mental illness but I see how active you are working yourself through it. You found your way to deal with it and that is one of the biggest steps to healing. If ever I can be of any support, please feel free to get back to me. I am glad we are connected 🙂 You have already given me a lot with your openness. Thank you so much!

I am glad I have helped you with my openness. I have been a pretty big time warrior with my Bipolar Disorder. At age sixteen I got diagnosed the first time make it through high school. At 22 in the middle of college hit again with another relapse then return to school at 26 almost done with college hit again with a relapse. I comeback and graduate college. I went through a lot to get there but I never quit. At 30 I had another relapse. It’s been a battle but I have done pretty well for myself. Your welcome and thanks for being a support. I will definitely turn to if I need your support. Thank you!

Yea Bipolar is not a cup of tea but I have been lucky to have the gift given to me in the talent with writing to help heal myself, cope and help others who suffer too. Like they say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger and I am a pretty strong guy now through all I went through and that will help in other situations and experiences in life.

I absolutely believe that. Whatever we went through was never in vain. Everything that happened made is the person we are today and prepares us for something in our life. Even if we don’t know today why we have to face certain situations we will know it at some time later. You are a very strong person. As I said, I am glad we are connected. 🙂
