Amanda always surpised me these past (almost) 20 years because she was always doing something new and adventerous. From editing and sound design, to DJing, to producing a play Off-Broadway, how does she jump from idea to idea? Turns out, maybe she doesn't even know? Perhaps, like I learned from my Dad, she's just saying yes to what feels good and right at the moment. Something we should all ponder.
