Throughout my life— my parents often referred to me as “Amazing Amanda” though it wasn’t until after I experienced the unplanned free-birth of my daughter, that I gained invaluable wisdom to significantly alter the direction of my future. I knew I was destined for something different.

Call it life purpose… mission… my voice craved impact and my heart desired to generate love towards others— both young and old.

At the root of our western society, I believe we lack compassion and understanding. Our brains default to judgement, poor black and white thinking, or feelings of inadequacy… this begins with our elders but ensures legacy from our youth. We can make a difference. The difference starts with what we say, how we think, and what disruptions can we start creating now to have an impact on future generations.

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words.

So I decided, I’m going to write picture books.
