Funny motivational speaker Amy Dee Life is awesome! This morning, I let Isla, my diabetic dog, outside. She missed the pee pad (again), so I filled the bucket with water from the sink (just like that, easy peasy) and washed the floor with a lemon-scented soap. Isla’s insulin shots are ready to give. Lucky me, my…
Funny motivational speaker, Amy Dee Hangry at the husband. The drive-thru cashier at the take-and-bake pizza chain handed me a medium instead of the large pizza, and suddenly I was mad at Steve. My husband, Steve, was once the president of several manufacturing companies where inventory control was crucial to his success. Sometimes, his desire…
Funny motivational speaker, Amy Dee Yesterday, I panted through 60 minutes on my stationary bike, posted a blog, listened to two lectures, did fifty sit-ups, and drank my 8×8 of water. All good stuff. Yay me! But today I am stuck thinking about the three snack-sized Snickers bars and 1/8th bag of BBQ potato chips…

The first evening, we strolled along the pristine beach, enjoying the brilliant sunset and roar of the ocean, when we suddenly heard cries of help.

We were laughing and talking about school, friends, and teachers when a young boy and his mother sat down at a table close to us. As soon as they sat down, they each took…
Funny motivational speaker Snow bombarded us again, another five inches. Steve woke up groaning about shoveling, but after clearing the driveway, he shook off the white powder, saying, “What a beautiful day! It’s nice to get outside right away in the morning.” Same driveway, same snow, same chore, so what changed? Steve’s point of view…
Funny motivational speaker Amy Dee; Your heart is beating with excitement; jumping to your feet, you fist pump the air, joining the chants of those around you, shouting “I CAN DO THIS!” Bursting with renewed self-belief, you fly out of the seminar, grounded only by the books and CDs purchased (in a frenzy) to…
Funny motivational speaker I had the privilege of sharing a platform with Dr. Henry Emmons at the Ridgeview Women’s Event in Waconia, Minnesota. Dr. Emmons is a man committed to improving lives through his practice of general and holistic psychiatry. He spoke about the increase of depression and chronic stress in our culture and offered…
Funny Motivational Speaker Amy Dee’s blog, You know how when you are self quarantined with someone for days and suddenly everything they do bugs you? They repeat the same dumb joke about the two tomatoes crossing the street, then laugh and snort breathlessly for 7.5 minutes until you consider throat punching them to shut their…
