Living Life Out Loud

February 17, 2016 by Amy White 4 Comments

out loud

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post here. Oh, there are many reasons for the delay. Back at the end of November, I finished the more than one-year process of writing my book- writing, editing, scrapping, and writing some more. You get the picture! When I finished the project and called the book […]

Caring for the Caregiver

November 15, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

caring

Caring for the needs of a loved one is often incredibly rewarding. Knowing that the best care decisions are being made and that the paperwork, insurance claims and many other day-to-day needs of the loved one are being addressed, should help caregivers sleep better at night. But are they sleeping? One of the most challenging […]

A Caregivers Path

October 7, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I was asked to share my story with a local Caregivers organization. As I was reading it over the weekend, I realized that many of my readers may not know the story of how I became a Caregiver. If you are a Parent/Caregiver, welcome! I am glad to have you along on […]

You Better Lose Yourself

Lose yourself

“You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime” – Eminem (more) So here I am quoting Eminem right? Well I can tell you that this song […]

Caregiving is a Team Effort

August 1, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

caregiving

Life. We plan for it. We map it out. We work hard to accomplish our goals and meet our obligations. Suddenly, there is a bump in the road and we find ourselves dealing with a situation or set of situations that we could never have anticipated. I found myself in this very situation a few […]

Saving “Amy”

July 24, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

Saving

I recently saw the newly released documentary entitled “Amy” which stitches together home video, photographs, interviews and footage from Amy Winehouse’s hyper speed rise to fame and her struggles, successes and obstacles as she tried to navigate her life in the limelight. I cannot get this movie out of my mind. It’s not because of […]

Guest Post: Mental Illness, Parenting and Roller Coasters

parenting

That familiar whirling blur of anticipation, worry, hope and fear swirls in my gut. My palms sweat and my heart pounds faster. My mind races through what might happen this time, what might go wrong. I’m nesting again. It feels just like it did twenty-three years ago when I was expecting the birth of my […]

The Fear Factor

July 9, 2015 by Amy White Leave a Comment

Fear

Often when we think about fear, we associate it with things that we are unable or are afraid to do. Fear is a powerful emotion. Its internal alarm system in our bodies is useful because it lets us know when we are in danger, giving us the opportunity to make different choices in order to avoid harm […]

I decided to switch things up a little on the blog today and share a little bit more about the work that I get to do each day; though often it doesn’t feel like “work”. This is work that I love and believe me there have been many times along my career path when I […]
