http://simplerevelationsbyamanda.blogspot.com/2012/08/better-than-fiction-guest-post-keli.html
Friday, August 17, 2012. Better Than Fiction Guest Post: Keli Gwyn, "A Shotgun Wedding". Four months ago,. That was my first encounter with the wonderful Keli Gwyn. Who knows what angsty thing I tweeted (let's hope not. Angsty) to curry such compassion, but I do remember that Keli's generous encouragement in my Twitter inbox was such an unexpected blessing. To have someone on the brink of their novel debut reach out to me as I waded through my first major re-write was inspiring. As she is online. A young...

Simple Revelations: "I'm Still Here."
http://simplerevelationsbyamanda.blogspot.com/2011/02/im-still-here.html
Saturday, February 5, 2011. I'm Still Here.". Or, A Lesson from the Airwaves. It struck me years ago, on a roadtrip with my mom. Somewhere in the day's travels over hill and vale, via hairpin turns, the sporadic radio signal gave me a life lesson. Our ears were greeted intermittently by alternating music and white noise. I'm pretty sure we opted for silence after a while, giving up on the spotty airwaves. In the quiet, the thought came:. The road winds, the terrain changes. And like those airwaves. I wil...

This is one lesson God taught me through. Adoption that he has since guided me with in life in general. What does one do with a "failed" adoption. Again, quotes deliberate.)? You ar...

Simple Revelations: Emily Was Wrong
http://simplerevelationsbyamanda.blogspot.com/2012/11/emily-was-wrong.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. 8220;Hope is a thing with feathers,”. I think she was wrong. Now before you decide I’m a complete Scrooge. I understand what Ms. Dickinson meant when she inscribed those words back in 1861. I’ve felt it—the fluttering, buoyant phenomenon that hope can bring. The flicker of light in the dark, the feeling that your heart might just take flight. Something that seems so fragile, yet soars with strength unseen. And so yes, I do understand the comparison to a bird. Hope that speaks ...
