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...

Not-So-Personal Church. It is well, though.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 7, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Church kicked off yesterday with several super moving, extra heartfelt and encouraging songs. Hands raised. Voices loud. Then…with a wave of the choir director’s hand, a shift in musical key, and a flicker of the graphic displaying all the lyrics… “It is well with my...

Thought it was worth sharing that my quest to spend more time with my girl is going well! We had a great time together yesterday afternoon eating good food and exploring. The Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum was a blast, and we ate all the...

The Faith-Fear Seesaw

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 29, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I mentioned yesterday in a blog post that I attend my very first writing workshop tonight…and that I’m nervous. I also noted that fear keeps us from our dreams, though, and I ain’t about that. From my mouth to God’s ears… Last night, I cooked...

Keepin’ it real.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 28, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. I am aware that I may come across as Nancy lately. I have posted recently about my feeling lost, used up, tired. I’ve used the words “bitter” and “hermit”, yet truly, I’m not sorry. I want to keep it real....

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...

See The World

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 23, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
You don’t see the world as it is. You see it as you are. What?! I heard this yesterday. I had to write it down and read it 7 times. Is this real? Do we do this? Do I not see the world for what...

Self Care 2.0

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, May 8, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Can we change how we look at “self care” a little? I think it’s more than bubble baths and getting my nails done, enjoying a glass of wine or buying myself new tennis shoes. I want to care about what I SAY to myself. I...

What Holds Us Back – Part 2

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, May 5, 2022  •   1 Comment
Something is holding me back? Back from what? Me? I have always considered myself a bit of a force – pretty confident, sure of myself, know what I want, focused. I would’ve never thought that ANYTHING ever held me back. That makes me laugh now....

You Asked How I’m Doing

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, April 22, 2022  •   1 Comment
Hi, I am Amanda, and I get emotional when someone sends me a message to ask how I’m doing. Crazy, right?! I am so focused on accomplishing big things, supporting people, and pushing kids into the spotlight. I am busy trying to make people’s lives...
