Christmas in July Sale!

I cannot believe we are halfway through July! Crazy how time flies the older you get?

Do you agree? Before we know we will be hearing the countdown to Christmas….

“90 days until Christmas, 60 days until Christmas, 30 days until Christmas!”

Before we know it will be 2 days until Christmas!

Do you have your shopping done? Ha! Anyone know what I am talking about?

I decided to do a little something…..

I decided why not help you get a jump start on Christmas and do a little Christmas in July?

Now until July 31 I am going to offer 50% off of my journal and 20% off of my 4 and 8 week coaching packages! That’s right! 50/20!

Why? Because I know that this year with gas prices, inflation, possible recession, things might be tight! So why not start now?

Start planning now so you can budget and be prepared.

That is my secret.

What I have found is you can spread it out over the next 6 months and not break your bank 2 weeks before Christmas! And trust me, the hubs will be so much more relaxed and grateful.

So if you have someone on your list who could use the gift of affirmations, maybe they love journaling, someone who loves morning quiet time, or just someone that you would like to see them grow in their belief in themselves… give them a journal. If it is someone who you think could benefit from coaching… give them 8 weeks of intense 1:1’s with me. I promise you these gifts are the gifts that keep on giving. Maybe it’s you! Either way, this is a great sale!

Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas in July!!!!!

(And even if you don’t want to start this early….I promise you want to start your list now….especially with the economy like it is….Promise.)

Until Next Time!

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.

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!

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

How A Christmas Card began the journey of The GOOD Life

It’s the most wonderful time of the year….so they say….but for some it is the loneliest time of the year. The holidays can be a big ball of yuck for a lot of people. It might be that it is their first holiday without a loved one, their last holiday with a loved one, or it could be simply self induced pressure to be “WHATEVER” they think they are suppose to be (the best mom, the best elf on the shelf creative, or the best entertainer)…and the list goes on. Point is the holidays can be a real suck for a lot of people.

I fall into the camp of I love the holidays, but, I use to get so stressed out about the dang family christmas Card. That dang card, every year, darn near ruined the holidays for me, that is until I would get it into the mail. It was then and only then I could enjoy the magic.

Then my mom got sick and was put in the hospital on December 9, 2016, my first born’s birthday. The card had yet to go out and I was super stressed about it. I started writing in a journal, mainly to deal with taking care of my kids while being at the hospital with mom, helping to care for dad, making sure the house was cheery and decorated, and the damn card. I remember clearly writing one day, “Who do you do the Christmas Card for Amy?” And I really was brutally honest. Then I went further and asked, “And why do you do the dumb card?” Lastly I asked myself, “Do you even enjoy doing the card?” Here is in a nutshell what came out of it….and this is the real honest answer.

I do the card to prove to the world that me and my family are GREAT! We are MORE THAN GREAT! We are pretty, we are good, and we are loved! HMMMM (with a cough I will say, “Bull shit!”) We are good and we have a good life, but we can be down right a mess at times, but by God I wanted to make sure that everyone saw, including the neighbors and kid’s friends families who saw us all the time, the “highlight reel” of how wonderful our life is so that I felt good. But the real crazy thing about this is I HATED doing it! It was downright miserable for me. If I liked sending the darn card, it might be a different story, but I hated doing it and I was doing it for the wrong reasons! This all jumped out on a piece of paper one night in my mom’s hospital room. I think it might have been one of my first realizations of how wonderful journaling is! That night I literally was able to answer for myself, with myself, why sending the card was actually harming my mental health. I was literally trying to prove something to anyone who would receive it while encouraging the sick comparison game, and making sure I kept up with whatever everyone else was doing. The stress from getting the perfect picture, to the perfect card, to the perfect envelope, hell even the perfect stamp….all to prove The Berry’s are GREAT! Ha! And pretty much all to prove to myself, literally by lying to myself, we were…. I decided that night no more! And I have NEVER looked back and I am ok with it and I am ok with others not ok with it, because believe it or not I have had people tell me so. But hey, it is ok.

Look I am not saying Christmas cards are this way for everyone. I have plenty of friends who LOVE to do them. From getting the family picture all the way to the perfect stamp. It brings them joy. And hear me when I say this, “I get tons of joy from receiving them!” I actually put them by your name in my contacts on my phone so I see them all year! But, the process of doing them, well, for me it is like fingernails going down a chalkboard, I get my joy others ways. And that is quite alright.

Point to all this is, that night was pure evidence of how journaling can improve your mental state, which in turn improves your physical state, and my self confidence started to be put back together. It was the beginning of Amy Berry figuring out who she is again, what she likes, what she does not like, why she does what she does, what she wants to change about some behaviors, what she wants to improve on, who she wants to become. It was the beginning of The GOOD Life and I had no clue. All over a Christmas Card.

Journaling does this. Journaling helps us to begin to understand ourselves better and helps us to clear our thoughts and unload our emotions. It’s a free space to process your feelings and promote healthy dialog with your beautiful self. When you are able to do this you begin to improve your mental state and gain back your self worth.

2020 has been quite a year why not make it the year that you decide to take back you! Why not start a daily practice of journaling and see what you discover about yourself. You might be surprised like I was and you might free yourself from chains you had no idea were there. I had no idea how destructive that tiny card was to me and those who had to put up with me. I do now and I am so glad I was able to say no.

Until Next Time,

XO,

Amy
