An invitation to step over the edge and face our truest selves, get reacquainted with the disowned pieces of us, and let ourselves fall in love with the wonder within."~ANDREA BALT, Founder, Rebelle Society, Creative Rehab, Write Yourself Alive"Victoria's prose makes the mundane, the to-dos, the realisms of everyday life feel like Sunshine. Her work is like honey-dipping you and allowing you to fall as she catches you on the next line. I've spent hours lost in her work. There isn't such thing as "enough." She encourages the artist to write, the lover to love and for every human on this world to quench their thirst by living."~JANNE ROBINSON, writer and poet at JanneRobinson.com"This collection of Victoria Erickson's poetry calls out to readers' souls, past lovers' hearts, the forces of Nature and everything else that has shaped her... to say, 'Come and look at what a kick-ass, amazing world we've got here!' And it's clear, through her eyes and her poems, she is telling the truth... in spades."~VALERIE GANGAS, Author of Enlightenment Is Sexy: Every Woman's Guide to a Magical Life"Victoria writes whispers that are soft yet strong, wanted and needed, confronting but comforting. Her work is like a diary your heart wrote and if strong hugs were words, they would be hers."~JEREMY GOLDBERG, Founder, Long Distance Love Bombs"Victoria's words are like soft bookends to the moments of our lives. They hold the moment together with fresh truth, raw honesty and the kind of beauty that comes with opening your eyes, like the first time, every time. With the exasperation of "time flying" by a culture built around speed, her prose reminds and allows us to breathe and be, to notice and to reflect, to source love from the infinite well of our soul and rest in the freedom that lives there---even for just one moment."~JESSICA DURIVAGE-KERRIDGE, Founder, Where is My Guru Virtual Center for Higher Learning
