We are raw & real. Tough & tender. Scared & sacred.
We are grit, grace, & every gasp between.
We are The Phoenix Soul.
We rise from the ashes of shame, regret, doubt, and fear. We choose to emerge. To be reborn with every breath. To embrace our daily transformation with the holy howl of yes.
We protect the divine spark smoldering at our core.
We embrace the wilderness of our hearts.
We believe we are brave, even/especially when we are falling apart. We seek the sacred in our everyday, peering closer when daily dust obscures our vision. We honor vulnerable truth because it saves our sanity. We practice determined gratitude, even when we must grit our teeth. We insist on joy (because surely it is our holy birthright).
You are braver than you know (even/especially when you are falling apart).
Hello, kindred. I'm Amanda Fall: creator, curator, & gatherer of good.
I believe in the power of love notes. Gentle reminders: you are, I am, we are loved.
In these wildly vibrant pages and in our broader community of kindred, we choose to honor our most tender truths.
We fear not our own undoing (how else will we be free?).
We speak love into hidden hurts. We rise.
We hold gentle, safe, sacred space for you + me + we.
We are phoenix.
“Fear not your (un)known or the unknowing of all you once held dear: eureka waits here, in the stillness beneath fear’s flutter, in your willingness to light a candle & face your dark. ”

My mission:

Connect and commune with kindred, in that startling space where we are so alike, despite any surface differences.
And let love, love, love be my anthem.
