It’s Amanda-Marie here and as many of you know I am passionate about personal development, online marketing, social media, entrepreneurship, and anything else along the lines of creating true freedom in my life and in the lives of others. What you may not know about me, are some of the fun, wacky facts below. Read to the end for a special bonus fact! Enjoy!

  1. My All-time FAVORITE color is Purple!
  2. The two celebrities that I have met in my life are Pauly Shore in the O’Hare International Airport, Chicago and Forest Whitaker at STK Steakhouse in NYC.
  3. The most fascinating place I’ve been on the entire planet was Machu Picchu in Peru.
  4. My husband and I grew up in the same area (our homes were only 10 minutes apart) but we actually met 6 hours away at the beach after graduating high school!
  5. Obviously there are so many great books out there it is difficult to pick just one… but one of my favorite All-time books is Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
  6. Although there are so many fantastic quotes out there my favorite would probably have to be this one, and since I’m at it I might as well share the entire thing with you:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”-from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
  7. My favorite thing to watch on TV is football! Go Steelers!!
  8. Fun things I do throughout the year include – family vacations, tubing on a nearby lake, Penn State football games (even though I went to PITT), visiting my sisters at their colleges, local arts festivals, and eating at new and exciting restaurants.
  9. Many people like to exercise in all types of ways, I prefer to do pilates, jog, power walk, light weightlifting, and hiking just to name a few.
  10. My current ‘laundry’ list of things to do includes learning how to golf and play tennis, plant a garden, paint my living room, and spend more time with my grandparents. (this list changes and grows with each month)

*BONUS* If I had to describe myself in just a few words they would be girly, sporty, insightful, adventurous and determined.

I hope you enjoyed these facts about me and look forward to getting to know you as well! Leave a comment below and include the most interesting fact about yourself!!

    Hi Amanda,

    I feel like I know you already. I believed you when you said you met Forest but it’s nice to have the picture too.

    I remember the first movie I seen him in was “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”

    The most interesting fact about me is: I’m an artist (oil on canvas)

    Thanks for sharing

    Hey Amanda,

    I would have to agree with Daryl. I also feel like I know you already. I am the oldest of 4 girls. We grow up on a cattle ranch. Riding horses was a daily adventure for us, working or playing. We should connect, I think we could be best of friends.

    The most interesting fact about me is: I enjoy hunting.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Awww… Too Cool! :) I loved this and truly enjoyed getting to know you much more. What a great way to share who you are with us and happy you did! I definitely see an amazing friendship blossoming!

    The most interesting fact about me is: I am a Mompreneur (A Mom + Entrepreneur)and I enjoy cleaning/organizing. (Crazy I know)

    Awww… and have to throw in that I served Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and their entire family once when I worked at Olive Garden. Very nice people, awesome to meet but forgot Garth’s strawberry lemonade he ordered! :( Oh yeah, and what was so funny was when they sat down, I looked at him and was like you look familiar, do I know you? He laughed and said maybe we went to high school together… haha :)
