The tree service arrived this morning at 7:15 pm. It was already hot. I had been up since 5:45 am so I could read and drink coffee in peace before the chain saws started screeching. They took a section of my fence out, so they...

Come home. Remember your “why”.

I went to church this morning. Not having gone in weeks, I was reluctant. Not having been around people much since my last series of performances as a studio owner, I was nearly resistant. I would have to people. “How’s retirement going?” *grin* “It’s been...

I remember how it felt to move to Phoenix – adventurous, intrepid, liberating! I was only 24 and had been married for almost a year. We had seven days to make the decision about moving, sight unseen, to a city with a population of more...

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...

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...

Just do.

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...

Your thoughts on AI?

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 21, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
AI is about to jack us up, Y’all. What do you think? I heard about ChatGPT over a year ago. If you don’t know what that it is,  it’s a free open-source AI program that will pretty much give you back whatever you ask for....
