Relationship Score Keeping

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, April 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Why are we keeping score? “I checked on her 3 times while she was sick, and she hasn’t checked on me once.” “I repeatedly text her and invite her to lunch. Would it kill her to text and ask me for a change?” “She has...

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....

I basically struck gold.

Good Morning, Fancy People! I have enjoyed a pretty stress-free Spring Break with my favorite people, and I hope you have, too. I’m not sure I’m ready to go back to work, but at the same time, I am SO ready to go back to...

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 16, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
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...

Kids, Insults, Harm

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 1, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
Think of the worst insult you could fling at someone. Go ahead. The worst possible thing you could say to another person. What would it be? F*** yourself. Go to hell. How bad could you get? You’d want to cut deep, right? Really give it...

I am often inspired by posts made by my friends, and this one… what a thought! I think many of us are in this mode right now. We’ve been in survival mode. Keeping things running the best can, constantly trying to stay on top of...

Overwhelm. Mighty. Juice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 23, 2022  •   2 Comments

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...
