10 Things You Might Not Know About Me - Amy W. Vogel
By Amy W. Vogel
I love to connect with people, so I hope these ten things about me help you relate to me – and to my work! It’s a very fun life I lead. I’m honored it is mine and to get to write you a little note to share with you who I am!
- I’ve been writing for almost two decades, but this is the first time I’ve self-published a book (but not the last!)
My first book – Third Person – was published through a niche traditional publisher called Seedbed in 2018.
- We’ve lived through the teenage phase twice. I have three daughters, and both are older teens now. It was rough till about 17 (about the time they hit senior year) so if you are going through it, hang in there! I’ve got another one to see this tumultuous period of life, so that’s good advice for me too.
- I’ve been in two plane crashes! That’s usually one of the things I use during the game two truths and a lie so I’m going to have to think of new ones now. They were both minors and no one else was hurt but it was freaking scary, nonetheless.
- I used to be a pastor. While I was not ordained in any church, I was in ministry for a decade and served in a pastoral role. It was a wonderful way to serve and love people. I’m still doing that just in a different way now.
- My husband and I had a destination before it was cool. Back in 2002, destination weddings were just on the cusp of becoming “a thing,” so we learned a lot about what we would do differently. However, it is still the best party I’ve ever been to, despite being badly sunburned!
- Being an author, speaker and consultant is my third career. I was in sales for over a decade, then was home with my kids before going into ministry. When that season concluded in 2022, I begin exploring how to do this full-time. Everything I’ve done before definitely contributes to work for myself.
- What you see is what you get with me. I once had someone say there is no way I could really be the same person in public as I am at home, but you can ask anyone. I really am. I might not curse if I don’t know you but then again, I might.
- My family and I have lived overseas twice. We lived in Trinidad for a year and then in Italy. They were incredible times of growth and education for our whole family.
- My middle daughter is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed when she was four and we walked through almost a year of treatment to get her to where she has been for thirteen years – cancer free! She also has no side effects, and we are constantly in awe at God’s grace and mercy on her (and our) lives.
- I LOVE to read. I also love to work out. I try to do both daily and it helps keep me sane, because we are always coming and going. My TBR can be anything from theology to hard core smut. I love it all.
Thanks for getting to know me and please pick up a copy of my book Come to Me: A Devotional for Healing from Hurt on Amazon. May Love bless you, keep you and fill you!
