“You know just the right thing to say and
Always the right thing to do
That is why I can honestly say – today,
Tomorrow, forever – all I need
Is you!!!!”
– a stanza from one of the poems

Erica Victoria Hicks Jenkins was born and raised in the low country area of Early Branch, which is a small town located in Hampton County, South Carolina. She graduated from Wade Hampton High School in 1985. She has crowned Miss Homecoming during the years 1984–1985. She graduated from Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina, with a BA in Business Administration in 1989.
She started her career in banking and has always worked in administrative positions. She was employed at the Seabrook in the beautiful town of Hilton Head, South Carolina, where she worked for 12 years. Due to unforeseen health issues, she was forced into early retirement at the ripe age of 50 back in 2018. She was diagnosed with kidney disease.
She was blessed with a second chance at life when she was gifted a kidney. After years of fighting and praying, she had her kidney transplant on February 14, 2021, the day of love. Although she doesn’t have any biological kids of her own, she does have six beautiful godchildren, including one whom she considers being her own: Charmaine Givens. She is a light in her eye and in her heart.
Now she spends her time trying to live every day with meaning and striving to be her best self by eating right, exercising, using positive thinking, reading and writing, and spending time with the ones she loves the most, her family and friends.
“Write from the Heart 2” shows how to express your feelings in words deeply and generously, thereby getting your point across. Reading is a way of healing at times. These poems will deliver a sense of peace, letting you know that you are not alone in certain real-life dramas.
We all go through things; there are titles like A Piece of Hell on a Silver Platter, Cries Falling on Deaf Ears, Once in a Lifetime Love, A Stranger Prayed for Me, Step Out on Faith, Love Me in Your Heart, Without You, An Internet Affair, and many others.
Life is full of challenges that we all have to face head-on. It does not matter if you are ready or not; changes are coming. In the words of Steve Harvey, “life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of what you do about what happens to you.” So it is not the action, but rather the reaction. Sometimes bad situations end up producing wonderful results.
