A little about Erika

Being a permanent makeup artist, medical aesthetician, makeup artist, nail artist, instructor is what my profession has been for the last 30 years and I am very grateful and thankful to have had such a fun and rewarding career.  

Through the years, my relationship with Jesus Christ has brought me into a whole new calling on and for my life. 

I have grown to understanding my spiritual gifts and exactly my purpose in life.  It is simply to serve the Lord, God in all that I do.  Now it is my honor and privilege to share that same love, peace and understanding to each and every person who God places before me. Reading the Prayer of Jabez, by Bruce Wilkinson 6 years ago was life changing. It is 1 CHRONICLES 4:10  Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that your hand would be withme, and that you would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.

I am currently writing a book about all of the gifts that God has brought into my life through extreamly difficult times. 

God laid it on my heart a few years ago to lead a retreat where people could take some time off from their busy lives to really start, or refresh their relationship with God and seek the direction HE would have them go. 

Since 2016 we have completed 4 Amazing Grace Retreats in the Black Hills of South Dakota. More info on the tab to the right.  It would be my honor to serve you in a girls get a way weekend in May or September. :)

How I spend most of my time:

Being a wife of 7 years to my 5th grade boyfriend, Erik Wiliamson.  The most caring, loving, generous, thoughtful man I have ever met. Doing life with him after being a single mom for 16 years is simply a dream. 

Helping take care of my elderly parents anytime I can and wherever I am needed.  Last year we moved less than 5 miles from them to make it easier and to be able to see my Dad through LewyBody Dementia and give my mom a much needed break. :(

Spend time with our grown children and our 3 beautiful grandaughters. 

I play tennis on a competitive team in Dallas with the "SHOT GIRLS" Cooper Clinic. LOVE MY TEAM. 

I take Ballet at Contemporary Ballet Dallas, and LOVE IT! 

Growing my Amazing Grace Esssential Oil team one awesome woman at a time and sharing how natural PLANT MEDICINE is so much healthier that reaching for the Medicine cabinet. Frankincense and Myrrh-more that symbolic gifts to baby Christ.  Considered cure-alls by Biblical people.  Healing by prayer and anointment with oils as practiced by Jesus' disciples and early Christians is made practical for us today.  Young Living Essential Oils are based off of Science, Chemistry and Scripture to help humans bodies heal themselfves. This was a God encounter business for me and I am truly grateful. More info on a tab to the right! 

Traveling back and forth from Dallas to Spearfish, SD for my Young Living, Raindrop Technique and Permanent Makeup business.  Also to be at peace, for this is my happy place.  To see my friends and daughter Erika Laine who is in college there at Black Hills State. 

Volunteering whenever and wherever I can.  Attending Trinity Church in Cedar Hill which has been a huge BLESSING. :)

I consider myself a promoter and love helping people succeed.  So I pour a lot of my time into doing just that. 

My husband and I own Blue Diamond Roofing and Construction, where I work with our son Dylan on marketing, advertising, and you name it! ha 

I love to laugh and go on adventures! 

I just love life and enjoying Gods Grace each and every day, no matter what comes my way.  We must cling to HIS understanding and not OURS. 

One of my favorite scriptures:

Proverbs 16:3

Commit to the Lord whatever  your do and HE will establish your plans 

Go out and bless someone today, if they make you mad remember you never know what is going on in their lives, forgive them right away for their issue and move forward in peace. 

I hope to meet you someday! 

XOXO Erika :)
