About

Hello and welcome to Inspirelatons. Let me introduce myself. My name is Amanda. I was born and raised in Kansas, where I currently live and raise my young daughter.

I am drawn to and grounded to nature. Especially water and the mountains. I love creating things and find my peace and inspirations in doing such work. Music and photography has always moved my soul, so there is always a constant need to have these in my life. I love to travel and create new experiences, by living and appreciating the moments time gives me, fully, the best I can, with no regrets.

I am an old gypsy soul, although, there was a time in my life, I didn’t understand and embrace it. I live and I love, openly and fearlessly. Some may call it recklessly, I say it is beautiful. Share it. There is no need to hide and hold back. There’s not enough of it in this world. There’s already so much suffering, why add to it.

I am a survivor of many things and throughout my life and experiences, I have suffered and I have gained. I have loved and I have lost. I have been through rape and abuse, every form of, at the hands of those closest to me and that of strangers. I have struggled with self-harm and alcoholism. I have lived in the consequences of drug addictions from others. I have had it all and I have lost it all. Left homeless. Starting over more than once. I have experienced paranormal phenomena I can explain and some I will never be able to explain.

I have lived fast and recklessly. I have lived slow and cautiously. I have also lived in moments of fear, uncertainty, stillness, emptiness, numbness.

I was raised in the Christian faith. As a young child, I embraced it, with my whole being. Around the age of 8, my soul, my world, that faith, was shaken. For the following 8-9 years, I wavered away from it and went down a dark path.

During this period, I was proven right and I was proven wrong, on the ideals, beliefs, and perceptions, that we are raised to have and believe in, from a young age. I learned most, about life and death. You see, the one thing that almost killed me, twice, is the very thing, that saved me. The missing piece, that I learned to face and embrace. MYSELF…

How to grow and evolve into a better woman. A better human. Daily. This became my mission. It gave me my desire to live.

Not knowing then, but knowing now. That period I went through, is considered to be, The Dark Night Of The Soul. And it started me down my path to finding, understanding and embracing my passion of writing. It opened my heart and my soul. It ignited my desire for my lifes purpose of feeling, understanding, connecting, with my soul and the souls of others. To live my life with as much understanding, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, kindness and patience, that I can. To live and share LOVE.

I have a strong need to inspire others. I love to share, guide, help, support and nurture others. I love to experience new things and push myself out of my comfort zones. I don’t push my beliefs or ideas onto others but I do share. And my hope is that maybe it resonates with someone, somewhere, at some point they need it and it helps them.

Life is energy. It’s about balance. All in the balance. Embracing the good and the bad. The dark and the light. The feminine and the masculine. We are all made of these. It’s about feeling, understanding, forgiving, embracing and balancing. And in doing that, you find peace. You find the beauty and meaning of your life and your love.

When I decided to create this page, it was in hopes and with a desire, to connect with others. Maybe help, in some small way. I am a listener, reader and writer. This is my record, my stamp, of my own life experiences and expressions. My becoming as a person. These are my stories and I’m still living and creating it. As you are yours. And where and how we will connect and meet, only time will tell. Just know, you’re never alone.
