Fun Fact: In the summer of 2021, Amy decided to fulfill a dream to live and work at retreat centers. She spent four months at Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center in north central New Mexico as a host and wellness activities instructor and eight months as manager at the Osage Forest of Peace, a spiritual retreat center near Tulsa, Oklahoma. These experiences helped her connect more deeply to the natural world, strengthen her spirituality, explore new places, and meet lots of interesting people.
Encouraging Note: Take a few minutes each day (or longer/more often if possible) to check in with yourself: take some deep breaths, let your awareness settle into your body, acknowledge your inner wisdom. Notice how you’re feeling and nurture some kindness for yourself and what you might be dealing with that day. You deserve your love and care!
