I’m Erica, a 30 something mom and wife. My husband is Ryan and we are from NC (Fayetteville), but have been living in Texas (Houston) for many years now. So we are a little bit country and a little bit hood… if ya know, ya know! LOL Together we have 2 young daughters, Erian and Cicely. And we have a dog, too.
Currently, I’m unemployed and a stay-at-home mom… but not by choice. I enjoy writing from time to time, it’s therapeutic for me because I struggle with anxiety and bouts of depression. That’s why I decided to start a blog, to make my personal journal entries public for whoever wants to read it and hopefully can relate.
You’ll find I write about any and everything. I’m not perfect, I cuss, I love to spend time with family and friends and always put God first.
I named this blog “Erica Can” because I’m a self-doubter. I haven’t always been this way, in fact I used to be the opposite. I don’t know how or when it started, but in the back of my mind I’m always doubting myself and my abilities. “Am I good enough? Am I capable? That seems too hard. I can’t do that. Someone else can do a better job. I will probably fail. I’ll make a fool of myself”…. all of that shit. All the time.
But the truth is, when I put my mind to something I succeed, I excel, I’m great! I have no idea why I’m this way. So this blog is a daily reminder to myself that no matter what this crazy, anxiety filled brain of mine is telling me…. I can, ERICA CAN!
