Hi Friends, If you don’t have time to read this whole post, would you click here and answer a few questions for me? It would really help me. The link will also be at the bottom of the post, when you are done reading. Thank you for your time, I am so grateful you are here. xo
There, I said it.
Although if you know me personally this probably doesn’t come as a surprise. I love to read. Love to write. Love all things written. Writing a book has always been my dream.
But it’s been a journey for me. And that journey isn’t really done yet. I keep waiting for a magical ending to my story…like the prince on the white horse galloping up and whisking me away to the land of perfection with no problems. I know, I know. Super unrealistic.
But really, because I feel like there hasn’t really been some fairytale ending, and since I am still journeying through this valley, I question what I have to write about that shows any real success story. Doubt is a real thing, you guys.
Let’s talk about this Substack…
For a while this substack didn’t get the attention it needed because after I posted the first series about my marriage, I was exhausted. I put so much energy into telling the truth. Especially being honest about my part, as I do take much of the blame. It just took everything out of me, not to mention it came side by side with the legalities behind closing my divorce, which took all of 2024 to do. My bandwidth to write with clarity was super slim.
But now I’ve come to a little cadence in life that I’m enjoying. I am at peace. I’m happy. I’m restarting my life and trying to figure out what I need to do to be the person I want to be.
And I’m getting there… that’s the best part.
I love who I am becoming and I am enjoying asking myself the question, “What do you want, Amy?”. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes that comes with stress involved. I’m still sorting things out, and it can be scary when you don’t have a concrete path.
My heart, if you were to ask me, lands on helping others. That is one big foundational pillar that lives deep inside my soul. I want to support women as much as possible. I hope that through telling my story, you can see glory can be revealed in your life. I hope that by sharing my pain and my heartache and my excitement and success to help you take one more step forward knowing you are not alone. Why? Because people did it for me. And it saved me.
For the last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make my substack and podcast and Glory Revealed Clothing all connect and do something great for women and Jesus. I have a very small but mighty team of helpers who are walking alongside me. We’ve had a few brainstorming meetings and here’s a couple things we are mulling over and testing out:
A new robust Glory Revealed Musings website.
An easier way to access all the goodness of Glory Revealed Musings podcast.
Downloadable Bible Studies with experts in fields such as mental health, business and parenting.
Possible business coaching opportunities offered for women entrepreneurs
Weekly downloadable 5 day devotionals for paid substack subscribers.
Q&A sessions for paid substack subscribers.
And finally….
Writing a book in real time with my paid substack readers.
Wait…what’s that?!? Well, it’s an idea that has been thrown around… writing a book in real time means I would write a section/portion of a chapter, publish it for you, my paid readers, get your feedback, allow you to ask questions, edit, suggest, etc. The end result is a developed and written book with the love and backing of all of you…my people. While I’m not sure this is a great idea, and I’m still mulling it over, I can see the value in it.
Now do you see why I started this out about writing a book?! 😜
So I’d love to know your thoughts.
Would you please take a moment and fill out this survey? It doesn’t matter if you are free or paid subscriber, all your opinions are valuable to me.
