Amanda is a writer, musician, mother, partner, community contributer. She loves having dance parties with her daughters, harmonizing with friends, and curling up on the sofa with tea, a book, and a tasty something-or-other. She is committed to sharing the beauty she finds in the outer and inner world, that infuses life with meaning and wonder. Her sermons were written as a part of her work as a minister in the United Church of Christ; the essays largely inspired by the joy and absurdity of parenting.
