A little love for my readers
There are times when your heart feels especially full. There are the moments that happen when you hear a great piece of music that moves you, or you step out of the office after a particularly long day to the scent of freshly blooming lilac bushes. I’m having one of those moments.
In celebration of the perfect summer weather, and the tender heart I’m feeling about my life right now, I’m going to pay tribute to a few of the people in my life, namely the ones that I know check out this blog from time to time.
To Lacey –
You are an incredible mom. You’re attentive, fun, wise and genuinely caring toward your family. I’m so proud of you. Plus, you’re beautiful… I think your post-baby body is better than the one you had before! (She’s my sister ya’ll, I can say that! Plus, she’s smashing!)
To Olivia –
You’ve completed your high school course successfully, but the best is yet to come. You’re talented and you have a good head on your shoulders. I’m excited to see where God takes you. Your life is really just beginning… the beginning of something beautiful.
To Jon –
Every time my dad relates to me a conversation that he had with you, I feel choked up, in a good way. I’m so thrilled and touched to know that God is working so strongly in your life. Keep sharing and listening for His direction. I know that there is a gift of discernment on your life. It’s evident. Plus, you are a true worshiper, the CD you made me rocks. Let’s do some more collaborating soon?
To Laura –
I know that you regularly read my blog, and it does my heart good to know that you’re reading and enjoying it. I hope I always tell you enough how much I appreciate you as a friend and am thankful that I have you in my life. When I think about how much our relationship has changed since high school I’m amazed at how we’ve grown up. Isn’t it nice? As much as we’re both in transitions with our lives, relationships, etc, I am thankful that our friendship is a constant in the middle of so many variables. I know I’ve told you a thousand times how much that day last year at your little house meant to me, but I think about if often. God used you as a vehicle to touch a hurting place in my heart that day. In those moments of pure silence, you said so much.
(Plus, you’ve got a great fashion sense…. I mean c’mon, you have the same coat at Katy Huckle!!! Looking forward to Les Mis tomorrow night!)
To Dan P –
I think it’s hilarious that we had that little miscommunication. I guess our friendship has a way of reminding me that we are so human – and that’s okay. Plus, there’s really no place on the web quite like www.danportnoy.com. Make sure I get a bumper sticker!
To John –
You’re an incredible writer. You’re half way across the country now, but it sounds like you’re adjusting well. Any office has got to be more stimulating than the one in Bowling Green! Keep writing about your frightening fish escapades and pathetic-budget-worthy grocery choices, I’m enjoying the read. I think it’s great that you’re trying your hand at the sitcom writing as well… Kate’s a clever one, I’m expecting good things.
To Amy (Acker) Edwards –
We’re light years away from that apartment aren’t we? Look at you, a happily married mom. You’re heart is huge and so is your talent. You’ve always had such a knack for making new things come out great. You’re a talented musician with a distinct voice, the pride of any employer, and you have an eye for home, décor, clothing and album pages. Plus, you’re clever and you have the best Texas accent in all of Pennsylvania! Kee Koo!
To Marybeth –
I’m so glad you posted at my site. I’ve so enjoyed reading about your life and getting to know you through your posts. I enjoy every rambling of this southern goddess!

To Matt Jacobs –
I’m proud to know that I could inspire you to begin your own blog. I check it out on a regular basis even if you think no one ever does! I’m totally up on how the house renovation is going, and the mission statement you’ve been working on for your life. Keep up the good work, and ‘jamming’ out to those Rich Mullins tunes... hehe…
To Jess –
When I need a good dose of reality written in an eloquent fashion – I head straight for Garish and Tweed. After all, it IS fun to say. Thanks for letting me peek in on your life. (I’m glad to hear that you love your walls so much!!)
If there is anyone else who frequents my blog and I didn’t mention you, I’m so sorry! I guess you’ll just have to leave me a post at the end of this Love Letter to my Adoring Fans so I can include you in the next rant.
P.S. This was really a Love Letter from An Adoring Fan to each of YOU…

much love for the much love..
How cool is this! Thanks, Amber...I love your blog, too. It always seems you say the right thing at just the time I need encouragement...or laughter...or whatever. You're a real blessing to me.
Hey amber, i emailed you the other day but still havent heard back from you. i check your blog frequently but have never had a chance to leave a message for you. I hope all is well with you! hope to hear from you soon.
Girl, what I would give for just a few more moments in our silly little apartment with no TV and really bad furniture!!! I miss the days of Ramen noodles and thinking we hit the big time because we sang on Andre's CD.. truly laughable now... Ok, so I must admit, I thought I was going somewhere with that. Casey still has no big hit either! HAAAAA! I love you so much! More than you will ever know. Your name alone stirs up something in my heart that is unspeakable. Here's to great foundations while trying to find ourselves and having something to fall back on in our memory bank when we need to feel alive again. You are a great friend! Love you! Amy
