Hi! I’m Amy. I grew up in New Hampshire and have been loving life in California for the better part of a decade.
Writing is my passion and I’ve made a career out of storytelling, first as a television news producer and now as a Communications professional. I love writing about my own experiences the most – hence, this blog.
Things I love, in no particular order, include: family, friends, food, beer, wine, sunsets, football (Go Pats!), hiking, animals, cooking, coffee, photography, reading, swimming, a good TV binge and traveling.
After a health scare in early 2019 (see blog post, here), I realized I needed to make some pretty big changes in my life. So I started a blog to chronicle them. I was – and continue to be – determined to make the changes necessary to build the life I want for myself.
But almost a year (and only 3 blog posts) later, I’ve realized that change isn’t the only thing I want to write about. So instead of following the advice of blog experts everywhere who say I should focus on a single topic that I will inevitably tire of after a handful of posts, I’m giving myself permission to use this space to write about whatever I want. Health. Dating. Politics. My job. How much I love Sacramento. My cats. Travel. Random shit I see on my daily bus ride. Anything and everything. Feel free to read along if you want. I hope you’ll find it to be worth your time. If not, no one’s holding your internet browser hostage. 🙂
p.s. Because my job is relatively public, I should note that this is a personal space where I write about my personal experiences and opinions. To be very clear: none of my writing here reflects or is intended to reflect the opinions/thoughts of the agency or administration that I work for.
