Rannygahoots are creatures born of the imagination of a gentle soul whom I knew as Pappy who handed down their lore to his grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. The rannygahoots live on in the imaginations of my children - and, according to them, in the woods behind our house.
Me? I'm Amanda Steyer, Wife to my amazing husband, Jim; Mama to Alexander, Zachary, Haley, Coren, and Alia; caregiver to many. I have the spondylitis variant of psoriatic arthritis, which has transformed my life into an adventure of epic proportions, at least in my mind. Never before have the simplest of movements seemed so monumental.
This blog came about soon after my diagnosis and serves as a place for me to process the changes in my life, celebrate the joys as well as the mishaps, share the stranger moments, and, I hope, provide a little bit of inspiration as I share my imperfections.
I believe in Love. I believe in Community. I believe in Grace. I believe in Forgiveness. I believe in Truth. I believe in Real.
