My name’s Amy and I live in the center of our nation’s capitol with my husband, Aaron and my toddler son, Elijah. I have chosen to stay-at-home with Elijah and spend the early years with him. Lent is a time when I try to focus my energy on something new and healthy. Instead of a New Year’s resolution, I will try something on for 40 days and see how it goes. For 14 years I have struggled with fibromyalgia and have tried anything and everything to reduce or manage my pain. I often try something new during Lent that might help reduce the pain that I feel. This year, I’m going Vegan. I’m hoping to see renewal in my spiritual life as well as my physical body. I am excited to embark on this journey.
