Survival Mode

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, April 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
OK. If I don’t stop and write, I’m going to explode. Life has been happening so fast that I can’t stop long enough to get my thoughts out, dang it. I might even lose a few pounds…that’s how much they build up when I don’t...

Healthy Choices Today

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 22, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Progress, People! Whole foods only and lots of water! Nothing more motivating than seeing myself in the mirror dancing with my kids last night. Other than all this, I just feel like I better watch my health. It can get away from us, you know....

Weight Loss & Accountability…just no.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 20, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
So I’ve been thinking about telling y’all that I’m going to start trying to lose weight. Telling you would mean accountability, though, and accountability means…um… having to be accountable…for actually doing it. *sigh* Why is weight loss hard? It’s not hard to eat birthday cake....

20 Ways To Love Yourself

1) Don’t respond to that email, text, or phone call. 2) Let that housework wait; it will still be there later. 3) Take a shower, smell good, and show up with your chin up. 4) Say “no” with a smile, because you really are too...

Let go of the crap.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 10, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Funny, isn’t? Funny to think about your old self, or maybe what the rest of the world is still doing, when you decide to be completely done with… Stupid crap. Fake crap. Meaningless crap. Other people’s crap. Political crap. Crap that ain’t my business. Dramatic...

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...

Be light.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 28, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I got an email this afternoon from a lady I know. She said she didn’t really need anything but asked if I could meet with her tomorrow or Tuesday “because she needs some positivity in her life”. Wow. I’m positivity? I’m so glad. Of course...

Overwhelm. Mighty. Juice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 23, 2022  •   2 Comments
This past week was overwhelming, to say the least, but we pushed through. God IS mighty, and after I stopped feeling all sad and ridiculous, remembered that He is indeed mightier than my “overwhelm”, and turned up the Prayer/Warrior/Praise Juice…it all came together. It sure...

Guilty.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 22, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
I’m guilty. I don’t always share my problems, because I don’t want to be a burden to anyone. I don’t want them to think I’ve lost it or that I’m making excuses. Guilty! I keep things to myself, because “they’ll blow over” or “I’ll just...

If my friend told me…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 18, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
If my friend told me she was lonely, I would offer to come see her, meet for lunch, or suggest opportunities to get out of the house and be among people. I might just listen. She might not want to be fixed. If my friend...
