Weight Loss & Accountability…just no.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 20, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
So I’ve been thinking about telling y’all that I’m going to start trying to lose weight. Telling you would mean accountability, though, and accountability means…um… having to be accountable…for actually doing it. *sigh* Why is weight loss hard? It’s not hard to eat birthday cake....

20 Ways To Love Yourself

1) Don’t respond to that email, text, or phone call. 2) Let that housework wait; it will still be there later. 3) Take a shower, smell good, and show up with your chin up. 4) Say “no” with a smile, because you really are too...

Let go of the crap.

Funny, isn’t? Funny to think about your old self, or maybe what the rest of the world is still doing, when you decide to be completely done with… Stupid crap. Fake crap. Meaningless crap. Other people’s crap. Political crap. Crap that ain’t my business. Dramatic...

It makes me tired.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 8, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I’ll just go ahead and say it, because I know y’all are thinking it, too. Sometimes, I don’t want to hear about other people’s problems. Anybody’s. The world’s. The economy’s. Whoever. Whatever. It makes me tired. There. It’s out…for all of us. That doesn’t sound...

Can’t Blame Myself

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 3, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I’m the poster child for thinking of ways to blame myself when something “goes wrong” with my kids…if they acted irresponsibly, after they said something disrespectful, or best yet, when they got a mental health diagnosis. After the discovery of clinical OCD, general anxiety disorder,...

Kids, Insults, Harm

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Think of the worst insult you could fling at someone. Go ahead. The worst possible thing you could say to another person. What would it be? F*** yourself. Go to hell. How bad could you get? You’d want to cut deep, right? Really give it...

Survival Mode

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 28, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I am often inspired by posts made by my friends, and this one… what a thought! I think many of us are in this mode right now. We’ve been in survival mode. Keeping things running the best can, constantly trying to stay on top of...

Overwhelm. Mighty. Juice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 23, 2022  •   2 Comments
This past week was overwhelming, to say the least, but we pushed through. God IS mighty, and after I stopped feeling all sad and ridiculous, remembered that He is indeed mightier than my “overwhelm”, and turned up the Prayer/Warrior/Praise Juice…it all came together. It sure...

I want you to be happy. Really.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, January 17, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Y’all notice the “support other women” movement happening over the last few years? It’s louder than ever. You can barely scroll any social media outlet twice without seeing posts, verses, and memes about women encouraging women. I don’t know where the sentiment comes from and,...

Sorry I’m Late…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, December 15, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
“Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to come.” Have y’all seen that? It’s how I’ve been feeling about TILTs and posting until I can get this week behind me. Whew! I bought myself this book to start next week, but I couldn’t wait. I’m about...
