More about Amber
More about Amber
I love to play with my dogs, explore nature, cook, and finger paint.
I believe no one is ever broken, because people are not fragile - we have proven how resilient we are by being alive. I’m passionate about giving kindness always because nothing makes me feel better than giving good energy.
I believe the bravest thing you can do is having the courage to start something new and open yourself up to vulnerability. My every day, positive affirmation is: You have worth, you have value, and you are important.
