Be So Much More: Unlocking Your Potential and Living Fully

[@jonathankipp2784]

Many months ago I tripped upon the KZbin video and Amanda stopped me in my tracks. I recall her saying: “It’s like camping,” her tears evident, trying to see the good in a very grave situation. Her spirit took my breath away and broke my heart all at once. “Please Seattle, save this soul,” I recall thinking. I have thought about her many times since then…so to find Amanda here was such a surprise and like a wish granted. She is my distant neighbor, just 3 hours drive. But her story is that of so many across the West Coast and this country. Hers is a powerful, soft, voice that reminds us that we just need two wishes: strength and for everyone’s basics needs to be met. That’s it. She is a poet… a teacher for us all.

[@queenbuzybee4074]

Beautifully said. I must say that I felt similar when I saw the first video some months ago. Housing needs to be made available for everyone. I could have been Amanda - I had a similar childhood - abuse and dissociation - I survived, but it cost me. I‘m so happy to see that she’s in a good place.

[@skyeblu817]

Optimism has gotten me more screwed than pessimism. Anyways I feel everyone deserves housing. It's shameful that rather than seeing homelessness as an indication of an unsupportive cruel society...the individual is ostracized.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Your words leave us speechless, thank you for sharing what had happened. How amazing that you came across her story, how you thought about her at times since then; and now we could share this wonderful and powerful story with you, how Amanda overcame all the obstacles. So special. Sending you much love from South Africa. Justine and Michael. 💚

A native American went to show a friend of his what his community do when they pray: They need rain? So they don't sit down and pray for rain, they go out into nature, where the rain is needed, and sit there and imagine, no, FEEL what rain feels like on their skin. He said: "We pray rain." How many years have we prayed FOR peace and FOR war to stop? Has it helped? So, dear pilarlago5162, don't give up but feel what you need and it'll happen! God bless you!

Looking at this woman walking on the beach with her dog, it would be so easy to cast a quick judgment and assume she has had such a simple happy life, with no significant worries, no significant stresses. But to understand she chooses happiness, despite the pain and suffering she has been through is absolutely beautiful. How important it is for us not to cast judgment on one another, and assume no one understands you or what you went through. How important it is to look into one another, rather than at one another. You never know what that person has to share with you. If there was no darkness we would not need to be light, but once we choose light, it becomes a beacon to others who need to see it.

The Buddhist Metta Prayer says "May all beings be happy. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be free from suffering." As a trauma survivor I've learned that "Self-compassion is the antidote to shame and self-care a confirmation that we are worthy, lovable, cherished." This is a beautiful being with a powerful message about healing, about claiming our aliveness. Deepest respect. I'm honored to be a patron of this deeply moving KZbin channel.

I experienced a period of homelessness. I was in Alaska & sold belongings to buy an old camper. My 2 big dogs, a cat & I drove from AK to Washington. I stayed in Port Townsend & Sequim (as I'd never lived near the ocean). It was beautiful. Eventually I had to sell the camper, one dog died, the cat ran away & I ended up living in a beat up tiny car with a tent in the trunk. It was a huge life experience! Thank you for telling your story. So glad you are thriving! Much love

What a POWERFUL testimony! Wow! Amanda could have easily turned into drugs, alcohol, committed suicide or continued living on the streets. Yet, she chose to go to the light, to see the positive, to focus on the beautiful! This is the key in any situation, focusing on the love, on the beautiful on the positive. No matter how horrific our circumstances are, looking for the good, dreaming of love will ALWAYS get us out of it and, even more important, it will always be an awakening experience. It won't be fast or easy, but it will always be a tremendous life-changing experience forever making our lives better in every way. Amanda knows, sees and is aware of so much more than an average person because to wait, live and hope, she had to reach within and hear within and learn the truth of LOVE that is in us all. Thank you, Amanda, so, so very much for being so very brave. Living on the streets has always been my greatest fear. Yet, you did it and victoriously overcame your horrific start in life. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story with the rest of the world.

Very inspiring! I recall seeing the original video on the Invisible People channel when it aired. It is great to see that her life has improved, and hope the lives of many others are improving as well. Thank you to this channel and Invisible People for bringing inspiration and hope, as well as inspiring people to become better humans!

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We appreciate your kind and encouraging words, we are glad that we could share her story with you at this time. Yes, we trust that her story can help others, that change is possible, that there is hope. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I live in Seattle and this story touched my heart even more than others in this wonderful channel. I see Amanda as a writer, a spiritual leader, a counselor, an activist, an advocate for animals… so many things!! She is a jewel, a treasure who deserves all the protection society can give.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We can imagine that her story would have touched you very deeply. Thank you for sharing all these beautiful thoughts and attributes. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Amanda. . .thank you for your pure gift shared of the beauty, light, and spirit of who you are. ". . .your heart has wept its way to your true self. . .you can walk away from that place, reunited with your banished heart, now healed and freed, and feel the clear air bless your new face." John O'Donohue (Irish poet and philosopher) As one in the midst of the struggle of discovering who I really am, I humbly and gratefully thank you for the gentleness of your words of hope. May you always feel "the clear air" and light of sunshine bless you.

[@user-if2pt5gc6y]

Thank you. I love your work so so much. This video is perfect timing. I’m in France without a home, belongings here and in storage in Alaska, having to continue to turn to the Divine, knowing that the perfect home and life are ready but just haven’t become visible yet. So, am strengthening my faith (knowing who and what I am) and raising my consciousness. I created this from my ego impulses, and now must ask for the Divine Life to take over and do Its Lovework instead. All of us are on this journey back to Source, and all of us can also reach out to offer support and love to eachother, as she says. Be a light to ourselves and to the world. Blessings to us all!

[@ReflectionsofLife]

You are welcome, we are glad that you enjoy the videos we share. Thank you for sharing a bit about your own life story, may all work out for you. All the best for your journey ahead. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I’m so moved right now. So in awe. Filled with hope and inspired. This film is going to have such an impact. Amanda, you are a bright light indeed. “Meeting” you is such powerful proof that there is something deep within & beyond us that is so resilient, which transcends the worst we humans can do to each other & pull us forwards towards our flourishing. That spirit - that light - that LIFE - shines so brightly in you, Amanda. You are beauty embodied. I’m so grateful Michael & Justine brought you to us. Your presence & story is going to be used to bring such hope, healing & beauty into our world. You ARE Prophet, Poet, Priest. Let it shine, dear one. Let it shine. It’s your time.
