Hi, I’m Amy!

Pull up a chair, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get creative with your life, your family, and your business.

I geek out over social media features and analytics, love a good cup of coffee, and I can spend hours in a book or thrift store.

Shall we get to know each other a little more?

40 Best Things to Do on a Trip to Marfa from a Texan’s Point of View

There are so many things I adore about San Antonio There are so many things I adore about San Antonio—and TPR's Worth Repeating and Trinity University Press are two of them. ⁠
⁠
After hearing about the speaker series for several years, I finally made it out to my first Worth Repeating back in December of 2017 out at The Brick. I recognized the familiar face of the lovely Burgin Streetman as I checked in, and she jumped at the opportunity to ask if I’d share a story on stage in place of a speaker who’d made an emergency trip to the hospital. ⁠
⁠
I mulled it over during the first few speakers, while outlining what my own story on the theme of Obsessions would be. And by intermission I had it, pitched it to Paul, and was on stage shortly after. I was grateful my then shorter hair looked decent and I did an alternate nostril breathing exercise backstage to calm my nerves. ⁠
⁠
Listening back to the live recording now makes me cringe with all the unpracticed ums and uhs, but the arc of the story I shared that night brings me back to a time when I was newly finding myself. And it makes me grateful for the unexpected twists and turns life brings—both in the story I shared, and that unanticipated night on stage. ⁠
⁠
If you haven’t experienced @texaspublicradio's Worth Repeating live and in person yet, tonight is your chance! This month’s theme is Bail, and there are opportunities to hear more stories from your fellow SATX-ans monthly through the end of the year. ⁠
⁠
If you haven’t snagged yourself a copy @tupress’ anthology commemorating some of the best stories told over the years, you’re in luck, too. Get yourself over to @nowherebookshop this Friday for a reading and signing with @jesselizarraras, @georgiaerck, and more incredible local talent.⁠
⁠
Cheers to San Antonio stories, y’all, and the people brave enough to stand up and share them.
