[Stylist] A message of Inspiration

[Ericka]

Thanks for your kind words Bridget!  I am watching a Garth brooks biography on TV and just chilling right now.

I am keeping in touch with the rest of my activity staff in the building and I have a couple families who call and check on me which is sweet..

I suppose I could try and write a few poems while I have time. If I do, I’ll post them here.
