I know how to do a lot of things. I know how to start a new business, from the Secretary of State paperwork to the policies and procedures. I know how to get a crying three year old not only into the dance room but...

Cooking With Love

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 24, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
Only 4 short weeks and within the last 12 years ago, I would have rather eaten a pair of Reebok Pumps than cook. I didn’t want to stand on my feet in front of a stove. I didn’t want to expend the brain power necessary...

Slow Down Vibes

I can slow down. I can actually enjoy the process involved in completing a task at hand. What does that even mean? Let me tell you how much I have had to think on that one and get it straight in my head. It’s not...

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...

The Evolution has begun…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 3, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
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...

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...

One of the things I am looking most forward to as I create the life I want to live is cooking. Cooking is one of my love languages. If I cook for you, I love you! The funny thing is that, in my old life,...

Selfish (In A Good Way) & Not Alone

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 6, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
When you embark upon a mission of self awareness, you have to get really selfish (in a good way). That was not easy for me. I give to people. I overextend myself to make other people happy. I worry and lose sleep to ensure what I’m doing for others...

Evolve.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 2, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
January is over. By now, most of us have learned to write “2024” consistently without having to go back and scratch through the “2023” we clumsily wrote by mistake. I’m not even continually hearing reflections on 2023, what a good year it was, how rough it was. We...
