I am so grateful for your writing, particularly on motherhood (and art-making/creativity). I am not a writer but always feel so seen in your essays, the words exactly how I am feeling but unable to articulate. So, thank you <3
Hi Amy, just wanted to send a gentle “I see you” note. Your thoughts and reflections remind me so much of my own grappling with the shifts in life and in myself as a new mother. I had my first son at 27, and what an incredibly hard and wonderfully sweet time it was. I am 40 now and have four sons. My youngest is 4. It all stays hard and wonderful. Best to you!
I love your writings and wonderings Amy. They feel like steady curiosity, hope, vulnerability in action. I read Nic Antoinette’s Wild Letters and her piece on soft ambition reminds me a bit of what you write here. Noticing satisfaction and enoughness in the present moment.
hello from a fellow pittsburgher! I have just "discovered" that you write, and have been catching up... glad to see a new one. i have older kids, but reading this is making me go back and try to remember the differences between my two pregnancies.
I love the honesty in this essay. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your new baby! I have 3 young kids so the brain fog & overstimulation is very much understood here!
