Amy's Coffee Talk

Every great conversation begins over a cup of coffee Think about all the times you have sat down over a cup of coffee to pour out your soul, to talk to a friend, to confide in someone you trust, or to just be there as a listener for someone else. The subjects covered over a cup of coffee are vast. You're Invited So I invite you to Coffee Talk, a place where women can get together from the comfort of their own home, grab a cup of coffee, and be apart of a great conversation. Every person on this Continue Reading [...]

  In 2010 I wrote a college paper on self image that ignited a passion in me I never knew I had. As a woman I always struggled with living up to the media’s standards of being sexy, alluring, beautiful, and happy. The pressure was everywhere I looked, movies, magazines, books, TV, posters, advertisements, and there was no escape. I was stressed out, exhausted, hopeless, and unhappy because no matter how hard I tried I never seemed to live up to those unattainable standards. I got to the Continue Reading [...]

I can spend my whole day, my whole life, for that matter looking for answers. I spend a lot of time reading. There are millions of articles out there on the web covering every subject from being single and staying single, improving your marriage, finding the right one, how to look naturally beautiful, Hollywood’s secret beauty tips, how to be a good parent, work out tips, cardio tips, weight training tips, what to eat, what not to eat, how to be successful, and I could go on and on. But asking Continue Reading [...]

I feel heavy and burdened like the weight of this world is on my shoulders. I feel like I am entirely responsible for the success of my life. That it all falls on me that I need to be in control of everything. I realize that I haven’t been giving any of it to God. In the big picture what I can do sums up to very little. I can’t control the outcome of my decisions… all I can do is make them and that is all He asks of us. God asks that we have Faith, that we put our fears, our worries, our hopes, Continue Reading [...]

I went and played poker the other night for the very first time. Well it wasn’t my first time playing poker, but it was my first time playing at a live table with a bunch of strangers. It was very intimidating at first, and I felt like I was in over my head. I imagine I had a deer in the head lights look as I just stood there frozen staring at the game. It wasn’t as if I had never played or didn’t understand the game, I am actually very familiar with poker, I enjoy it, and I know I don’t Continue Reading [...]

I got married after only knowing my husband for a month. We barely knew each other and I look back and I realize that, although at the time it felt like we did. Right after we got married we were still getting to know each other and there were a lot of things that we had to figure out about each other and “us”. How do you just marry someone you hardly know? At the time, our marriage caused quite the “scandal” in the worlds of our friends and family who thought we were crazy and stupid and Continue Reading [...]

 

About Amy

Most of the time it is lost on us how rarely we seize the opportunities that come our way. Most of us grow up with big dreams, whether it is to travel, or start our own company, or run for president, whatever it is, we are passionate about something. The older we get the more reality squashes those dreams until they are little more than ideals we only occasionally remember that we had. We get used to life in a cubicle, kissing our boss’s ass, living pay check to pay check, and only having two Continue Reading [...]

I get anxious for my life to happen. Things I want to do and accomplish, I want them to happen now! I want to be free of a 9-5 job, I want to have the time and money to travel and completely enjoy every moment and not worry about anything. I want to be a mom and have kids, I want to own my own house that my husband and I build together. But right now, in this moment, none of those things are happening. Right now I am still working towards building that kind of future and sometimes I feel like I am Continue Reading [...]

Recently I have been obsessing over the color of my hair. Rather ridiculous, I know. But over the past year it seems like I haven’t been able to obtain the right hair color/style no matter how hard I try. I don’t remember ever having struggled with it as much as I have been lately. I have always enjoyed having my hair colored, maybe a little bit too much, and I have tried multiple different styles. I have never gone all “Katy Perry” with bubble gum pink or Smurf blue hair, I usually try to Continue Reading [...]

When I work out I feel invincible. I really do. Well after the first couple labored breaths and huffing and puffing anyways. But once I get into it and get going I feel like I am on fire. Working out has always been incredibly therapeutic for me. Through all the hard times in my life I have always turned to running or dancing as a way to just let it all go. To hit the pavement running, to turn up the music so loud that all the sounds of the world are drowned out and with every stride I slowly Continue Reading [...]
