A note from Amy: This self-titled blog is about my journey through life. As my heart, mind, and circumstances change, so may the content. The core foundation will always be that of a woman seeking the joie de vivre. I share my journey here, on my blog, through words, photographs, and video. It is my hope that my experiences can offer hope and help to anyone in need.
Behind the Blog:
Lisa Boyd has been blogging since the beginning of time, but she always seems to get distracted by the code. She is a “pixel perfect” artist whose uber talent has given her the privilege of working with some amazing women in digital media. She can code things that would make the average person cry (Amy: I know. I have cried). Lisa keeps Amy’s site user friendly and traffic ready. And she makes all of Amy’s designs come to life. *sigh* There goes Amy crying again!
Lisa is also the heart and mastermind behind DIY Ministry: a place that caters to individuals and ministries: large and small. You will learn how to effectively manage and develop your own web platform including: WordPress Websites/Blogs, Social Media, SEO, Ebook Creation and Marketing, and Hosting Successful Online Events. And if you don’t know what any of that means that is okay too. That is what DIY Ministry is there for.
Christin Slade is the behind-the-scenes gal, helping with the particulars so they don’t get in the way of Amy’s self-diagnosed creativity disorder. Christin is blessed with the gift of attention-to-detail (Amy: this makes me happy!) and her love of working on the computer, she’s learned how to mesh the two in order to help others reach their full potential, while simultaneously feeding her love of the administrative side of life.
She is the mother of 5 awesome children and wife to the most compassionate man she has ever known. Married for 11 years, she and her husband strive to know Jesus and live for Him through imperfect lives. You can find her encouraging moms and helping them lead their children to the Lord at her blog, Joyful Mothering.
Dianne Godwin is a grammar ninja. She silently lurks in the background just waiting for Amy to publish something. Then she wields her fancy red pen so fast making corrections that it makes Amy’s head spin. She knows all about what to do with this stuff: ” , – … :., and she won’t let Amy use double negatives. Or, something like that. Dianne doesn’t edit the blog (obviously) but all of Amy’s ebooks are given to her so that she can work her magic.
Dianne is a Jesus lover, wife to John, mom of 18 & almost-17 year old boys, sporadic blogger, amateur photographer, Scrabble junkie, and a Dr Pepper addict (Amy: she needs the caffeine to stay up and edit all of my ebooks!).
