How to Put Less Expectations on Your Holidays

Is anyone feeling a let-down or mini-depression after the holidays? Perhaps they were not all you expected them to be? To achieve a life of peace and grounded-ness, you must always come from the center. In light of the current U.S. holidays, however, you may find yourself feeling a little less than centered. Holidays and big events, if entered into with expectations of all of the joy and glory of a perfect Christmas card, or stories and images of an amazing New Year’s Eve experience, can sometimes cause tension and stress if not entered into reverently and mindfully.

Do I Need a Guru?

Amanda Dobra Hope It depends, what do you want one for? Are you looking for a guru? A spiritual teacher? Finding a great teacher on our path is a tremendous boost when we are looking to grow spiritually in an exponential way. However, when seeking a guru or teacher, choose carefully, and consider what those titles mean. Remember first and foremost that you are already your own guru, and so is everyone around you.

Taking Personal Responsibility for What is Ours

As a holistic life coach and spiritual counselor for both individuals and couples, as well as an avid student of my own personal growth for many, many years- I have come to the conclusion that one of the most important things we can do to increase satisfaction in our relationships with ourselves and others is to take personal responsibility for what is ours.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Amanda Dobra Hope

You know when something is so new, that there
aren't really any good words to describe it yet...?
...Yeah, I'm kind of like that. :)
So I guess what I truly offer, is Amanda. True, authentic, and no holds barred, Amanda Dobra Hope.
If you'd like a better description than that, I've attempted it below. :)

The words I've come up with to best describe how I serve the world currently are: Teacher, Author, Coach, Facilitator, Space Holder, and Evolutionary Pioneer.

I also refer to myself as the 'Hip-Hopping' Minister (I've been a dancer my whole life as well- and Hip Hop has been one of my favorites), and various other things that point to the fact that I'm actually living in lots of different worlds at once, and therefore don't think I'm any more Godly than you just because I carry the title of 'Minister.' I'm just a regular person, in my regular clothes most of the time, showing you how to tune in to your own authentic 'God-self' without changing any of the rest of who you are. I've also been referred to as a 'cross between a hippie and a cool chick.' I like that one very much. Shows I can bridge the gap between many things. :)

For those that prefer to see it on paper, I do have a list of certifications and degrees that include:

*Ordination as a freelance Non-Denominational Minister
*Master of Divinity in Metaphysics (Spiritual Counseling)
*Doctorate in Holistic Life Coaching
*And certifications as both an Agent of Conscious Evolution (ACE), and Advanced ACE -Guide.

But these are just my the things I have on paper that I could show you. Really, we are all so much more than that. Listing those things doesn't necessarily give you a proper picture of who I am or what I can bring to you through my work anyway. Truth is, I studied Metaphysics because I was looking for a 'broad based' spiritual education. Got it. Throughout my training, we studied things like: world religions, dreamwork, yoga, ayurveda, grief work, symbols and archetypes, and meditation. But a lot of what I know I have sought out and devoured on my own or learned by conscious life experience. Most people these days still don't even have the foggiest idea what Metaphysics really is anyway, which is why I usually better either have my elevator speech ready, or just not even go there. :)

My true religion is Love, and my guiding force is what I like to call God and my 'team'- and last I checked, all any of them required of me in order to believe in them, was to show up and allow them to birth themselves into the world through me.

We are all born children of God, with our unique talents and gifts to give and express. My dream includes a world where everyone feels free to live in their authenticness, and to express the gifts and talents that are uniquely theirs. It includes remembering that we are not separate, and that when we all choose to live our authentic selves, and shine our brightest, the world will have no choice but to come together in beautiful harmony of co-creation.


I promise not to shove spirituality down your throat, if you don't wish to talk about it or don't believe in it. I don't have any specific agenda anyway. All I want to help you reclaim your true authentic self and find your proper place in this world while you thrive and live the life you truly desire. It doesn't matter what you call that which is larger than you, where you came from, or how you got here. I just want you to be your full and authentic self, and be FREE.
