By Amy S. Hilliard A lot has been written lately about Quiet Quitting, the #Soft Life, and women losing ambition as we have gone through the pandemic and seen COVID change the way we live and the priorities we used to hold dear.  I know.  When it was announced on May 14, 2022, that 1 million people had died in the U.S. from COVID, I had Covid.  Yet I hadn’t died.  I had all the vaccines, the booster, and it was my second bout of the disease.  But I was still here.  I could have been one of those in that horrible count, but God wasn’t through with me yet.

The Gratitude of Joy

As we move rapidly into the New Year, we are all about setting goals, hitting the gym, doing vision boards—important stuff.  Heck, I was in the gym yesterday afternoon and had to almost fight the crowds for a favorite machine LOL!  That is actually a good thing. In the midst of it, though, I hope we don’t forget to take some time to remain grateful.  Grateful to be here to begin another year, another decade.  I’ve written before about how seeking joy is critical for our health, well being and stress reduction.  Not looking at the glass as half empty.  Changing perspectives is so very powerful ..read more

As the holidays are upon us, there is much to be thankful for.  Being Grateful will keep help you healthy.  So will Movement. Movement can keep the #1 health issue at bay…INFLAMMATION. While we all can be focused on food, fun, gifts and libations, please put exercise on your to-do list.   According to a comprehensive article in the AARP Bulletin shown below, inflammation has been linked to every major disease of aging.  Reducing it will help us all live longer, happier and better. All the major health issues: cancer, heart disease, dementia and diabetes–all of them–can be linked to chronic lo ..read more

Hi All! By now, you may know that I think the #Harriet movie is a MUST SEE film.  Yes, like many, I’ve known of Harriet Tubman’s incredible heroism in bringing hundreds of slaves out of bondage into Freedom via the Underground Railroad for years.  But seeing her story as a young woman when she first started out on her improbable journey opened the door to many important insights into her character. The most powerfully consistent insight was her belief in God.  Without maps, a flashlight, sometimes without shoes or food, she found her way to Freedom the first time by herself, guided only by Go ..read more

Have you guys seen the Netflix documentary The Game Changers?  It’s about athletes who get their strength from plant based food.  It’s AMAZING! Now I’ve posted about trying to be more vegan-ish before.  But it’s HAAARD to give up meat, fish and chicken entirely.  And with Thanksgiving coming up…Imma TRY. But this movie gave me more inspiration to substantially cut down my intake of proteins from animal sources.  Substantially. Check out the website AND take the time to watch the movie.   It will cause you to pause. https://gamechangersmovie.com Largely targeted to men to get them to see that ..read more

Hi there. Many of you know that I recently made a pivot in my career and started teaching Marketing at Loyola University’s  School of Business.  I’m here to tell you… I. Love. It.  It is one of the most gratifying things I’ve ever done.  When I walked into the classroom for the first time, and looked at those 45 students looking back at me, it was like an epiphany.  I said, “Hello.  I’m Amy Hilliard, And I’m here to not just to teach you Marketing, but to make it come alive for you.  I want you to feel it.  As business students, and ultimately business people in the world, you will have the t ..read more

As an entrepreneur, I have often had to craft an Elevator Pitch.  That 30 second to 1 minute pitch to tell a potential investor or customer about my business or product if I met them on an elevator to engage them enough to want to work with me, consider investing with me, buy my product…you get the drift.  Sometimes you only have a very short amount of time to make an impact. The first slide above lists some key questions that are usually asked from a business standpoint.  These are very good questions.  So, for your business-minded folks out there, keep them in mind. Statistics say that Boo ..read more

The Power of Letting Go

  As the seasons are changing, we can learn something from tall, strong trees.  They shed their leaves in the Fall, they let them go.  And yet, the trees continue to grow.  Season after season. And we can learn from the exercise we probably did as kids, the monkey bars.  Swinging from one to the next one could be painful at times–hard work.  But the reality was, you couldn’t get to the next bar unless you let go of the bar behind you.   What great lessons in life.  You can’t grow unless you shed things that no longer serve you from one season into the next.  And you can’t move forward unless ..read more

There’s a lot of information circulating about meditating these days.  Many people swear by it.  I must admit, I was a skeptic.  You all know I believe in getting to the gym.  Here’s one of my favorite clips from Pinterest about hitting it:   Well, as many of you know it’s also been a challenging time re-gaining my footing since my Mom’s recent passing.  And the one thing that has been a tremendous help has been–yup–meditating.  Taking no more than ten minutes in the morning to calm my mind down, to center my thoughts, to breathe deeply and focus on nothing but that has been more powerful tha ..read more

Have you ever given YOURSELF a card?

I’m a big card person.  Love them!  I scan the card aisles looking for gems to send later for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, sympathies, friendships or…just because.  I recently came across a beautiful card in my stash and thought of who to send it to, and thought, why not keep it for myself?  Why not send it to me? This card really touched me.  I can’t remember when I bought it or who I may have bought it for, but since it resonated with me, it must be the Universe saying “This one’s for YOU!”  I’m truly in the mind space of following my heart.  Steadily.  Quietly.  Purposefully.  P ..read more
