EverydayPeople
I really believe that you have to surround yourself with good people.
And when I read quotes by famous people I always tell myself that they are real people--just like the Joneses.
Usually my favorite qutoes are from people right in my own backyard, and I want to share these people with you.
I know you have people like them in your life as well.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank
Katie
Childhood Friend of Amy
Frantie to Dylan and Olivia
Do you know that quote from Maya Angelo that says it's how people make you feel that's really important. Yep. That's Katie. She will make you smile.
Katie has been in my life since I was in 7th grade. She is funny, attractive, motivated and never tries to keep up with the Joneses. We keep up with her!
Angie
Professional Mentor to Amy
World's Best Co-Worker
My husband always talks about how he will steal her away from me the minute he has a chance, and I always tell people that she is my favorite colleague EVER. That has its downside because everyone else wants her as well.
But, I make it sound so simple. It's not that simple. She is my very good friend! She listens, she is honest (really, honest), and she loves books more than anyone else I know!
She always brings common sense to the table. It's amazing that we don't find this trait in more people.
Randi
The person that makes Amy want to take action
World's best book suggestor
Randi has more energy than anyone that I have ever met. She also has uncanny ability to set goals AND have the willpower and self-direction to accomplish them.
This girl has initiative! So much.
Johnna Kerres
The person that makes Amy want to believe in good
World's strongest mommy
Johnna received news at 18 weeks that her first child - a boy - had spina bifada and set the wheels in action to protect him. She underwent fetoscopic surgery and is sharing her journey in hopes that she will educate and help others.
What some happy readers say:
"Amy believes that it takes a village to do almost anything. Grow professionally, raise children, and become a thriving member of society are all a team effort. You will enjoy her experiences and her stories because you can identify with it ."

"It's refreshing to know that the "jones" in our life that we compete with (knowingly or unknowlingly) are normal people and struggling and celebrating many of the same things as us!"
