Identity Crisis?

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 8, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
My hair is purple, right in the front. It’s been blonde, even red, but purple…it’s kind of my thing. It’s fun. I get compliments on it all the time. People ask me questions about it, too. Is it permanent? (Yes.) Do you do it yourself?...

Something To Look Forward To

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
You know what we often need when we’re going through a season? Something to look forward to! Y’all. We love to travel, and a year ago, Keith and I decided to go to Maine. We had never been. It was nothing short of amazing, and...

RIP to My Sanity

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 30, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Here’s where the erosion of your sanity will get you… Our company’s vans died literally dead seemingly all at once (ummm, today), and we are now in a pickle. So I found two online, had them brought down from Murfreesboro, TN (which took some doing),...

Valley of the Shadow Sometimes

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 30, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Y’all, I feel like I’m walking through that valley of the shadow. The good news is I know God is with me. The bad news is that my humanness sure pushes fear to the forefront and tries to crowd out my faith. I won’t let...

Friday Adventures

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 27, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
In my effort to become a Recovering People Pleaser, I vowed to spend more time with my sweet Brady. She’s 14, and she’s awesome. We have had one heck of year, and she deserves every minute I can give her. And why shouldn’t I be...

The Spot

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 26, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
It was July 22, 2015, when we found out Keith had colon cancer. The doctor called us on the phone after a routine colonoscopy. We were standing outside in the yard when I put the phone on speaker so we could both hear what he...

Life. Smacks. Peace.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 9, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Y’all ever get up and the morning and go about your business just to be smacked in the face with a big, fat truth?! Yeah. And the funny thing about that truth is that it was there all along. It isn’t new. It isn’t a...

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,...

I’m Bad at purging. I’m good at hoarding.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 11, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I decided yesterday I was going to boss up and get a handle on all this laundry. I am also ADHD, so in the midst of that, I decided to purge a little. I also stopped to order more hangers, clean behind the night stand,...

For The Women Who Can’t Write

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 10, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
A friend tagged me in this one, and I loved it! What hit the hardest? I have the freedom and opportunity to write for “all the women in history who weren’t allowed to write”. And, Y’all, there are women on earth TODAY who aren’t allowed...
