Hey! It's Worthy!
Hi Friends! I have seen a lot of new faces around here so I thought it was high time to reintroduce myself so we could get to know one another!
That is one thing about me that I feel is truly different from most bloggers. I don’t want to just write something, throw it up on the intra webs, and pray someone reads it. No, I really want to get to know you and what makes you tick, what lights your soul on fire, what is bringing you down, what is bringing you joy, what is your favorite color, if you could come back as an animal in the next life (no I do not believe there is a next life…this is just fun game of getting to know one another) what animal would you be and why?
I would like to come back as a dog…but not just any dog….a dog owned by ME! These brats have the GOOD Life fur realz!
Why do I want to take the time to get to know you? Because I am an enneagram 2! YES! I finally figured out my Enneagram! And we 2’s stand out for our personal warmth, strong relational skills, selflessness, and eagerness to support people in their time of need. So call me eager, call me a helper, call me Worthy, the point is I want to be here for you!
It is the law of radiation and attraction really….
This handsome man, my daddy, taught me all about the law of radiation and attraction…”Amy…it is the law of radiation and attraction! You get what you give in life! You give love, well, you will get it back ten fold!”
Why do I say that? Because writing for me is cathartic and healing so by you supporting my page, indulging me with a comment or a share every once in a while, well you are giving back to me and I only hope to return the favor! You see! It’s a win-win!
And listen, as a 2 it is my greatest desire for every person to experience love, reflect the love, and see and feel the love and nurture of God.
So a little bit about me….
I grew up in the small north central Texas town of Graham, Texas, now known as Graham America. I am number three in the line of four kiddos and I can honestly say I had a beautiful up bringing out there in the country!
COLLEGE LIFE AND MARRIAGE...
I went to college at University of North Texas and Texas A&M where I met my husband in 1991. Long story short, I followed him to Texas A&M my SENIOR year (who does that! I guess I do) and when he graduated he told me if I would hurry up and graduate we would get married.... so I hauled my hiney back to UNT, graduated, and well....THAT DID NOT HAPPEN...after NINE years...YES you heard me right! NINE years of dating off and on we FINALLY married in December of 2000 and we are still going strong to this day. We have three beautiful boys and one angel baby in Heaven.
My beautiful family!!!!!
WHY THIS BLOG....
In December of 2016 I lost my best friend, my confidante, and my angel on earth. I lost my mom....and this rocked me more than any other loss I have ever experienced. My mom knew ALMOST everything about me...the good, the bad, and the VERY, VERY, UGLY side of me that my baby brother Paul has so eloquently named TAWANDA. My mom loved all parts of me, even Tawanda. I called her daily and on average we talked 5 days a week. When she left this earth and went home I can honestly say I was lost. This loss has challenged me on many levels but most of all this loss has challenged me in my faith. This blog has been huge in helping me grow stronger than ever in my walk with God and it could not have come at a better time! Trust me on that!
DREAMS AND HOPES FOR MY BLOG...
One, that I become more consistent. In the beginning I wrote all the time, life took over and well, I stopped. But what I found was I missed it and believe it or not some of you did! So thank you to all of you who have gently and consistently reached out encouraging me to write more.
Other desires are to bring you many more yummy recipes (I do love to cook), some funny stories, probably some not so funny stories, because I promise to be real, and let's face it life is messy sometimes, I might have some words of wisdom here and there (if I do it will be from something I learned from someone much wiser than myself!) and one thing I will not promise is fashion sense....I try so hard here, but I am a dance teacher and a MELT practitioner for fitness and health. My wardrobe consists of black tights and black tops....I will challenge myself in this area and maybe with your advice I can grow here...because Lord knows I am not fashion savvy! Another area you will not see on my blog is Home Improvement. It’s just not in the cards for me. Have you seen our redneck swimming hole? That explains everything!
Want to take a dip in our Red Neck Swimming Hole? It’s truly the best!!!!!
You will see a lot about God and Worthiness and Affirmations…Why? Because the world needs more Jesus, more Love, more Hope, and more Encouragement….which is what Affirmations are! Words we say to ourselves to encourage oneself. I actually self published a journal, The GOOD Life, because I believe in this so much! You will see more about that as time goes on!
I am proud of this little baby! I have it in blue too and my the cover art was done by my beautiful boy Will!
And you will see…
Gratitude and Love for my life and my amazing family!
This is us!
I hope you will stick around! I really do! I want to grow this family! The WORTHY FAMILY and I want us to be a community built on faith, love, trust, and joy. A community that will build one another up and bring a little more sparkle to this world. Because Lord knows this world could use some goodness.
So….
In a nutshell, I am married to the love of my life and my best friend. We have three beautiful boys, two dogs, and we are blessed. I love God, Dance, Melt, Writing, Soul Goals (my free community for my sisters in the house), my amazing family, and friends. I am Amy Berry and I would like to be your friend!
xo,
Amy
