A special story from Amy…

“Truly touched…our dear friend who was staying at our house while she made some life changes, shared an amazing story with me. She has a copy of my book and is using it to help her get through some of the things she is dealing with. She took it to her job—a home for people who have various mental health issues—and shared it with everyone there. One of the women at the home read a few pages, closed the book and then got up to leave. Everyone asked where she was going and she said, ‘To find a job.’ She had recently lost her job and was very depressed and anxious, and after reading my book she was inspired to find work again. She started a new job the following day!! So grateful that the words in my book are helping others move forward!”

“I have been listening to positive, spiritual, motivational speakers like Les Brown and my favorite television pastor Joel Osteen, for many years. I am not a book reader, I prefer reading magazines. I do love reading and collecting positive quotes. However, once I started reading Amy’s awesome positive book of quotes, I could NOT stop reading it. It is filled with one positive, uplifting quote after another. On a scale of one to ten, Amy’s book is a twelve.”

“Amy saved my life! As dramatic as that sounds it is true. Several years ago, after a serious health crisis, she helped me find balance and acceptance. A year ago she helped me see that what I thought was impossible to achieve was actually within my reach and as a result I am in such a happier place. Most recently we have begun working on my vision for my future and I am super excited to see where this goes! She listens, I mean really listens, and attaches no judgment to anything. She is incredible and so focused on helping you find your path and realize your dreams, even those you don’t fully know you have. She helped me move from the very lowest point of my life to a place I only thought I could dream of being. Without a doubt working with Amy, with her beautiful heart and her amazing clarity and wisdom, is the best thing you can do for yourself!”

 Lastly, a story that will stay in Amy’s heart forever:

“I’m speechless, in tears, and humbled right now. Corey from Corey’s Hallmark called to let me know that my book was just purchased for one of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. She unfortunately had to have part of her leg amputated due to the explosion. Corey gave me the name and number of the person who bought my book. I just got off the phone with her to thank her and to pass my love to the woman who lost her leg. I’m hoping to eventually talk with her personally, but in the meantime I am touched beyond belief that my book will be in her hands. I pray that it brings her some sort of small comfort as she heals. Tears are rolling down my face as I write this and I just thank God she made it through and is still here with all of us. I told her friend the world is with her right now and we are ALL praying for her. To healing, to love, to her future.”
