About Me


i am learning that confronting your fears is only terrifying during the first step...that each consequent step becomes lighter...and that what began as a baby step becomes a leap.
journeying into the unknown is my life's theme.
at this point in my life, i feel i am blossoming.
i have an incredible husband and the most beautiful, angelic daughter any mother could ask for. while my job, to put it frankly, sucks ass, i am slowly but surely paving a practical path to the fulfillment of my dream and my soul's purpose.
more to come.
in love, light and laughter...amanda :)






Your Psyche is Blue
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you.
By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go.
While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side.
When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you
When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding What Color Is Your Psyche?
