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...

I Don’t Belong To Me

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 20, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Well, hmmm. I always feel awkward writing the first post after a hiatus. What a blogger I am, right? Life progresses at warp speed. I run from hell to breakfast, and go long periods without posting then…BOOM…here I am. Sorry about that. Believe me. My...

Walking Conundrum

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, May 20, 2022  •   1 Comment
I’m a walking conundrum… I am hungry, but I am also fat. Don’t eat it, Sister. I am fat, but I also like cheese dip. Order a “small” cheese dip. I want pretty hair, but dang, I don’t want to wash it today. Lazy. I...

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...

The payoff? Yep, there are HUGE benefits to shedding those things that hold us back (Part 1). Despite the pitfalls (Part 2), when we get rid of what holds us back, our lives change for the better. We are liberated! When you aren’t burdened by...

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....

What Holds Us Back: Part 1

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, May 4, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
People afraid of pain don’t grow. Those afraid of failure won’t try. Folks too worried about making mistakes will quit. People who aren’t willing to be uncomfortable will stay in the same place. Those afraid of confrontation won’t ever speak up. Folks who hold tight...

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...
