Fertile for the right seed.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 20, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
“Is my mind fertile for the right seed?” That’s the question. Now, let’s get into it. I love to learn. I have always loved to learn. Except that I actually must have a life and manage it effectively day to day, I would read book...

Out of the Mud At Last

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 12, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Y’all ever stepped in that kind of mud that sucks your foot right up, and you lose your shoe? You can’t go on. What do you do with your sock foot? How do you get your shoe unstuck and back on without getting completely muddy?...

Peace, Not Dread

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 27, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Mondays should hold peace, not dread. They should be an optimistic look forward at all that’s in store for the week, rather than a reluctant look downward at my shoes as I muster the wherewithal to just get through the coming days. I want my...

Open heart. Open mind.

You know what people do? They opinion shop. They feel-good shop. They justify shop. They comeraderie shop. Not only does misery love company, but so does contentment. People are out shopping for connectedness. They want to feel good about themselves and their choices. They want...

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...

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...

Counting The Minutes

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, December 13, 2021  •   1 Comment
I’m tired. Really tired. Are y’all? I never want to wish my life away at all, and I try not to want time to hurry up, but I’m ready for this break. There will be no girlbossing starting Friday. I anticipate only girlresting, girlreading, and...

Vulnerability Is Terrifying

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, October 4, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
“Vulnerability is terrifying.” That was the first line of a meme I saw this morning. So true. To be authentic takes vulnerability, and because it truly is terrifying to put yourself out there, that may explain why people don’t seem very “real” these days. They’re...

Leave A Bottle Day… Let’s go!

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 2, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
In case you didn’t know, you need to hit the road. It’s national “Leave A Bottle of Wine on the Porch of a Friend Who’s Struggling Day”. 🍷 If you see it here on social media, it must be true, right? I mean “Daughter’s Day”...

Let yourself go?

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, July 19, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
What do y’all think it means if you’ve “let yourself go”? Are you eating ice cream straight from the carton, curled up on the couch in sweats, most weekends? Girl. Took a shower…maybe yesterday? Sister. Wear your husband’s old, holey softball tournament tshirt and faded...
