"Nothing unusual, nothing's changed. Just a little older, that's all."

Who Am I?

I am not a writer. That is what I initially felt the need to disclose in this brief introduction. Yet here I am, creating a website so I can do just that. So while I may not be a professional writer, I do have a story to tell. So many stories! Is a writer only a writer if someone reads their work?

Does a tree falling in the forest only make a sound if someone hears it?

I can’t promise you epic tales of romance and adventure. What I can promise you is my authentic and transparent thoughts on whatever happens to be on my heart and on my mind on any given day. I don’t have planned themes or topics to write about. I imagine that this will be a bit all over the place because I am a bit all over the place. I have big love for Jesus and my church, traveling, music, people, food, holistic health and well-being, family, and friends. I don’t doubt that you will read about all of those things at any given time. Ultimately, it is my simple and humble hope that this blog will find its voice as I find mine, and it makes my heart happy to have you along for the ride.

Hi! I’m Amanda Stone-Janssen.

But please, call me Amie.
