I’m In No Hurry

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 10, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
This morning, for the first time in over 3 weeks, I found myself at home and in no hurry. At home. In. No. Hurry. I did have that “you must be missing something important” feeling and watched my pulse jump with anticipation a few times...

Learn & Love

I had a migraine this morning. It started at 5:47 am, and I was awake enough to realize it was happening. It was as if I was purposely roused by The Universe at just the right moment to feel this wicked, little bubble of pain...

Nesting

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, April 7, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
I am an over-preparer. I’m the one who packs too many outfits for a weekend trip, not to mention two too many pairs of shoes. At any given outdoor event, I have sunscreen, insect repellent, a battery-powered fan (and extra batteries), and even a clean...

The Evolution has begun, and I am one month in…without a post. I suck at this, but I’m learning. Let’s catch up first, then I’ll share the struggle… I spent the first week of March traveling, which was glorious. My son, Blake, and I made...

The Evolution has begun…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 3, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
This past Wednesday, evolution was fueled by courage. It took me the better part of an hour and a half to draft the email, summoning courage every minute. I then decided I had better schedule the email and accompanying social media post for later in...

Evolution Meets Courage

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 28, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
I am writing a lot lately about evolution. Evolving, creating the life you want, shaking things up, reinventing yourself, shedding the old and embracing the new, fully immersing yourself in the process, allowing the flow to carry you, taking extra care to enjoy the journey…I...

My toxic trait…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 24, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
You guys have seen that, right? My toxic trait is… Your toxic trait is what gets you into trouble, or the very least gets you in a pickle. It causes big things to start happening with a perceived, maybe doable, but maybe impossible outcome in...

Just do.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 24, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
I heard that, if you’re going through something, you should wait until you’ve gone through it completely to write about it. Give readers the whole scope of whatever you’ve suffered, accomplished, or figured out from beginning to end. Describe the trials, give the steps you...

Y’all. My husband, Keith, loaded the dishwasher yesterday with the exception of a single mug he left out on the counter. Last night, we were all in the kitchen eating dinner, and he looked at my daughter and me with great concern and said, “Is...
