I’ve been meaning to write a post with an update on what I’ve been up to with my business, Open Sky Stories. This morning I did, what was supposed to be a quick video update for my Instagram page and before long, it was over 13 minutes! Needless to say, I have a LOT happening…

In 2014, myself (Erica) and my two kids, Rain and Moxie, formed Team Adventurers. We are on an amazing journey together full of love, music, laughter and grief. We are finding our own way...together.
This blog started as a way to document a 3 week road trip we took in 2015 from Ontario to British Columbia. It has since evolved into a series of my thoughts. The evolution continues. Come along for the ride.

Creating, coffee and coping.
Oh hey, remember me? How’s it going? Everyone coping okay through these strange times? I’m at home with the kids and Lucy (our cat) and feel quite grateful for what I have and where I am in life. I get to take time to savour my morning coffee every single morning. I’ve been reading –…
Chapter 1: Begin
I am totally neglecting my Team Adventurers blog these days – sorry!! But it’s for a very good reason – I am spending every inch of my free time creating and developing my new business, Open Sky Stories. Here’s a glimpse of what it is and how it came to be. (Spoiler: Team Adventurers is…
Open Sky Stories
friends. I am so excited to finally share a project that I’ve been working on for about a year. I’m launching my business, Open Sky Stories in January. As you know, I love writing. I write every single day. Writing has carried me through the darkest of times and has been a companion on many…
Pause. Breathe. Play.
For the past 11 months, two things have been occurring simultaneously for me: I have been experiencing chronic (non-life threatening) health issues and I have been building a business. Mostly, they are completely unrelated. But also, they are deeply intertwined. I’m not really a patient person. I want instant gratification. I like action. I hate…
Thanks, Peterborough.
Four years ago today, #TeamAdventurers arrived in Peterborough. I had sold our house, quit my job (of 13 years) and moved us to a city I had only been to once before (when I signed our rental agreement). I had no job lined up and we had no friends; just an urgency for change and…
four breaths in….
As i sit at my writing desk to do just that, it becomes tragically clear: i can’t. Day after day i sit, while my ink turns dry as my mouth in unanswered anticipation. My mind, full of urgency, sends a million ideas racing under my skin desperate to be seen but they flood and drown…
done
I’ve done forty-three years on this earth.in this body.in this mind.in this ill-fitting skin. And I have found joy in every corner, crevice and conviction. But there are some days, ways and power-playsfor which I am done. And so today I breathe into my too-tight, not-quite-right skinfree to walk this earth another yearcompletely and joyfully…
Happy Anniversary
I’m reposting (below) an article I wrote for Stigma Fighters about the initial 24 hours (ish) following the death of my ex-partner/father of my kids. Today is the 5th anniversary of his death and no matter how hard I try to ignore it – I can’t. It physically seeps into my entire being. Also, his…
Building something good takes (an annoying amount of) time
Allow me to preface this by saying I hate vague & cryptic social media posts… *ahem.. 💫💫💫 I’m building something. It’s not exactly a business… business sounds too corporate. It’s more of a passion project… though passion project sounds too optional. Whatever it is, it’s both breeding from and feeding my soul. 💫💫💫 Trust me,…
