​Welcome

Author, Artist, Activist, Advocate, Advisor, Affirming, Ace, Academic, Agrarian,

Hello y'all! My name is Amanda Jean Alley. I wear many hats. I am a Life Partner, Mother, Feminist, Queer, Writer, Multi dimensional Artist, Activist, Ace, Minister/Pastor/Priest, Clergyperson, Amateur Architect, Lover of Building/Construction Projects, Power Tool geek, Science nerd, Animal lover, Student, Teacher, Broken, Healed, Surviving, Thriving, Moving on with life person. I am complex and diverse, a little bit of a mystery, a little bit of an open book, a little bit of fun crazy, and a little bit of a classical Southern belle. I love to talk. I love people, but I have a deep need for silence and solitude. I crash and need to be alone in nature to recharge. Alone with my thoughts. I am extroverted for brief spurts then introverted. I am most at peace living remotely surrounded by my spouse and children and a multitude of plants and pets. Trees and water are the main life forces I draw from.
 
As you may have guessed I am Southern by birth. Born in a small town on the outskirts of a Florida swamp. I was raised the second half of my childhood in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky where my grandparents originated. For a multitude of social justice issues, and safety reasons for our family my partner and I moved out of the United States to Canada with our four children. There are things I miss and long for and there are things I am glad to leave behind. My work is a mix of all these feelings.
 
I am glad you stopped by. I hope you learn more about my work and me as a person. For more about me click on the about page. Check out my works. My deepest hope for you is that you dance, sing, write, paint, soak up the sun, bark at the moon, grow a garden, love animals, eat good foods, drink good drinks, take a chance on asking them out, find your soulmate, love who you choose to love, be who you were born to be, live the life you were meant to live. You only get one time around. Make the most of it. Deep within each of us is an expression yearning to come forth. Find yours and embrace it. It is what makes you the unique person that is you. There is no other you.
 
Connect and follow me at my social media links. Online is an open and welcomed space to communicate with and/or follow me. Just please don't follow me in the real world. I am a very private person in my downtime and value my personal space.
 
Happy trails,
Amanda
