Amy Lail
I am a wife,mother, and student who has always had a passion to write. I am interested in helping others and inspiring others. My interests range widely and I am always looking to learn new things. I live in NC (the Tar-heel state) where I was born and raised. I have dealt with some life changing events. I do not let these things get me down though. I believe a positive attitude can change everything. I also believe everything happens for a reason whether we understand it or not and these experiences for me have built strength, caring, and an understanding for those in need. These things have also led me to where I am today and I would not change that for anything. I am studying to be a licensed counselor. My hobbies include writing, music, Mixed Martial Arts, traveling, and being outdoors. I hope my writings will inspire others to survive whatever obstacles cross their paths. There is always hope, and power.
