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...

Evolution Meets Courage

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 28, 2024  •   Leave a Comment
I am writing a lot lately about evolution. Evolving, creating the life you want, shaking things up, reinventing yourself, shedding the old and embracing the new, fully immersing yourself in the process, allowing the flow to carry you, taking extra care to enjoy the journey…I...
