Hi, I’m Amy Nelson, and I started this blog because life is special. Life can also be hard. There are countless opportunities in any given day to be discouraged, depressed, filled with anxiety or even to feel hopeless.

Like you, I’ve been through my share of challenges in life.  And this is where my strong-willed personality has served me well.  Instead of wallowing in my pain, I devoured self-help books and teachings of all kinds.  That has led to a decades-long passion for growing into a better person on a daily basis, consistently battling my internal voice, and stubbornly reaching for continued improvement. 

As as result, I’ve learned some impactful life-changing tips and I’d love to share.  Otto von Bismarck said, ‘Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others.’ 

I hope this blog serves as a tool for encouragement and hope, and to challenge others to step beyond the status quo, the ho-hum, the drudgery of life and move toward living a life of fullness and vitality.
