Things I Learned Today / August 8, 2022

In Things I Learned Today  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 8, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I learned today (my favorite thing I learned today!) is that teenagers are listening. When they trust you, they really do listen. They take your advice, your warnings, your words all to heart. I AM leaving a legacy, even when studio life feels burdensome. I...

Not-So-Personal Church. It is well, though.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 7, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Church kicked off yesterday with several super moving, extra heartfelt and encouraging songs. Hands raised. Voices loud. Then…with a wave of the choir director’s hand, a shift in musical key, and a flicker of the graphic displaying all the lyrics… “It is well with my...

Bad Blogger, Cool Trip

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 7, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I was a terrible blogger last week at the dance conference. If we weren’t in a seminar, we were moving between ball rooms or trying to find something to eat and get back. We had a tremendous week, though! Here are some highlights… I learned...

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
It’s ok to be messy. It really is. You can forget stuff, slack on your responsibilities, be lazy. It’s ok to have been messy. I’m 100% positive about this. It’s ok if you veered off the right path, neglected your health, even made horrible mistakes....

My internal dialog just this morning… Amanda, take your probiotic. Your gut is a mess. You haven’t been eating right at all. No wonder you feel like crap. Speaking of that, go prep tonight’s food. You’ll be glad you did. Aren’t you glad you bought...

Evolution, Authenticity, Random Thoughts

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 15, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
It’s funny how I’m going through this big life change, this evolution of thought, this reprioritization…all while the world keeps turning. I write about all that here for many reasons: writing practice, journaling, tracking my progress, accountability, to hopefully relate to others, to motivate people,...

The Faith-Fear Seesaw

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 29, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I mentioned yesterday in a blog post that I attend my very first writing workshop tonight…and that I’m nervous. I also noted that fear keeps us from our dreams, though, and I ain’t about that. From my mouth to God’s ears… Last night, I cooked...

“Christianity” (Intentional Quotation Marks)

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 29, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I follow a number of bloggers, content writers, and authors on social media. Before, I would follow ones I related to most, funny ones, ones with good parenting perspectives. Now, though, I tend to follow them as more of a case study. What is their...
