Spiritual insights from the world's most beloved neighbor.
Meet Amy
When my father was in hospice, my sisters and I were asking him questions like, “Who’s the president?” and “What year is it?” Then I asked him what I did for a living. He said, “You’re a wife and mother first. Then you do whatever else that comes along that interests you.”
I don’t remember if he got the president or year right, but he was right about me. He didn’t say psychology professor or television writer or author. He only saw me as first defined by my relationships and then by my passions. So when people ask me what I do for a living, I give them my father’s answer.
