A Dream to Sit With

A Dream to Sit With

Often I ask myself what is my WHY. The other day I was asked by my sister and I was surprised by the accuracy of the words that were flying out of my mouth, almost without thought… just flew out from within my core.

Celebrating 10 Years of Wearable Blessings

An inspiration blows in like the wind, catches you by surprise, takes your breath away, your heart falls in love and races all in the same moment, and then it grabs a hold and doesn’t let go.  It is undeniable yet at the same time a bit scary, and as soon as you say YES, […]

Amy D'Ambra The Saints in My Life - Why I Love the Saints

The Saints in My Life - Why I Love the Saints

“May I stay in constant presence and intimate union with Christ” -St.Teresa of Avila

Imagine that! Words like these draw me into the lives of the saints and ignite my heart to want to know more, learn and imitate their devotion, their practice and their meditations.

The saints lived ordinary lives like you and me but with the passion to live this life on earth in constant union with Christ. What does that mean? To me it means surrendering my will to God’s divine will, allowing my daily life to flow and activate all that I am for the Glory of God.

May Love Grow

Advent is the season of the seed. The seed He said, “is the Word of God sown in the human heart.” It is also the seed of life brought forth from God through Mary, in the form of Jesus the Christ.  Mary brought forth the savior of the world through the seed of LOVE, her fiat—through […]

Love so Bright the Whole World Can See

Christ loves us so much and He longs for a personal relationship with each one of us. All He asks is for our love in return. He is not interested in how many tasks we complete in a day, but rather how we loved today. I imagine Him standing beside us, reaching out His hand and asking us to walk this life with Him as our guide. I love the verse, “knock and the door will be open.” I imagine knocking on doors of heaven and being flooded with renewing love as they open. During Advent, let’s open the door to our hearts so wide that God’s love comes bursting through. You are His light in the world because He lives within you.
