ABOUT US
Meet Erin & Erika
We ARE TWINS….did you guess that!? We are Erin and Erika Ross. We graduated from Providence College in May of 2019 with our Bachelor’s Degrees in Social work. We went on to pursue our Masters in Social Work (MSWs) through Fordham University’s advanced standing program and graduated with our MSWs in May of 2020. COVID did to us what it did to everyone else and put our plans on halt while reminding us that we do not know what tomorrow will bring. We are currently taking life day by day and navigating our new normal in the best way that we know how. We plan to gain more experience in the field and eventually open our own private practice together and receive our doctorates. AMBITIOUS?? We know!! But if your dreams don’t scare you, they are not BIG ENOUGH, at least that's what we've been told :o)
So why a blog? and what exactly does this blog of ours entail?
Well, our blog started in the midst of our self-quarantine experience as a result of the coronavirus as means to keep us busy and to spread love, light, & hope as the unknowns of COVID continued to cast angst and terror within many. Our blogs range from posts paralleling diary entries to posts paralleling straight up poetry with the occasional research report making an appearance here and there. ;)
To put it simply, we write what we feel & we write from our hearts. We do have somewhat of a style as all writers do but this is real life stuff. It’s messy, it’s passionate, it’s real, it’s raw, it’s reflective of our feelings, our thoughts, our experiences, our moods, our education, & our knowledge.
The overall tone of much of our writing can be coined as empowering & optimistic because that’s just who we are in our souls and it reflects in our thoughts, our writing, and virtually all that we do. HOWEVER, we can, do, and will get suuuuper real, and dark, and deep and raw because we believe that vulnerability is our super power.
When life gets heavy and overwhelming and scary we try to let ourselves be seen in all of our vulnerabilities via our writing as means to offer an unlocking of acceptance, a passage to self love & self confidence, and to reiterate a message that is often overlooked in our social media crazed/ highlight reel era: we all struggle contrary to what it looks like on social media and it really is okay not to be okay. <3
We are VERY passionate about social work, helping others, and spreading positivity & love. We operate on the belief that people are always doing one of two things; they are showing love or they are crying out for it.
As such, we believe that this world needs a giant group hug and it is our continued hope that our blog becomes just that;
that virtual & soulful group hug that so many of us need, One that radiates compassion, understanding, empathy, love, light, hope, courage and strength!
This blog will reflect our passion and hopefully double as a "sweet escape" for anyone who decides to venture on here.
Yours Trulee<3

Some of our Life Philosophies;
Laughter, fresh air, & good friends are the best forms of therapy.
Laughter is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sounds on earth.
Intelligence, kindness, vulnerability, and ambition are incredibly attractive.
Deep soulful conversations and people who aren’t afraid to show their emotions and be vulnerable are rare but AMAZING.
People who go out of their way to help others; compliment them, hold doors, smile in passing, etc. are some of this worlds greatest treasures.
Genuine friends are a gift from God.
Everything happens for a reason & with time everything will happen exactly as it's meant to.
Kindness is how we change the world. One act a time.
Hugs are incredibly underrated &
Regardless of the question, love is the answer.
Yours Trulee<3
