It’s a beautiful photo for a plethora of reasons, but the deeper meaning behind it is just another reason I find so much joy and humanity within it. Though the Civil Rights Act of 1964 had been signed into law years prior to the episode’s airing, Black citizens were still not embraced as equals in many parts of public life. Fred invited Officer Clemmons to join him because pools were a setting that segregation still had clutched in its grips. So, with a heart for humanity and a profound duty for equality, Fred used his platform to take a very public and powerful stand against racism - he used his gifts to be a helper. https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/class-is-in-session-its-time-to-sit-in-the-shit monthly 0.5 2024-11-19 https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/good-job-jimmy monthly 0.5 2024-10-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/cda66029-4cc7-4f91-8f95-9fc3e4b996a2/IMG_9421.jpeg Blog - Good Job, Jimmy! - We’re in the thick of it, people. We’re currently in a place that we’ve watched many parents go before us, wondering how the hell they made it out alive and when the heck they ate, showered, or found a tiny speck of time to themselves. I’m talking tryouts, practices, dance competitions, auditions, games, playoffs, and the all-out debauchery that is youth sports and the blissful, yet crazy phase of our lives that consumes the majority of our nights and weekends. Now, let me break it down for you, just for funsies: we eat dinner in the car more than at our kitchen table, have loads of extra clothes options tucked in our trunks for any weather that Minnesota decides to surprise us with on game days, and an endless coffee IV that is our literal lifeline to keeping these exhausted eyeballs open and helping our kids remember all the shit they have to bring with them, so they don’t have to run extra laps or get benched in the next game. https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/the-power-of-feeling-seen monthly 0.5 2024-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/0c9fb41e-2863-45a4-9a1d-835ae223a51d/Untitled+design-20.png Blog - The Power of Feeling Seen. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/d7f0ef56-8856-4843-8295-027594ac8fe3/3.png Blog - The Power of Feeling Seen. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/qegcpn25wy25wb6s2v13hr959hwtml monthly 0.5 2024-10-19 https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/n9a24w3y9e8lweodq9islg7yjfh2oa monthly 0.5 2024-10-19 https://www.amycrnecki.com/blog/i-am-the-storm monthly 0.5 2024-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/1dc70631-eb6d-4a30-8e42-603d5f85ba3f/2F7A6514.JPG Blog - I am the Storm. - After my niece passed away four years ago, the most amazing thing happened when a red admiral butterfly landed on my shoulder, my sister’s nose, and my brother-in-law’s hand. It was one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed, and if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes, I don’t know that I would have believed it. This butterfly stuck around for nearly 45 minutes, instilling a small ray of hope and a huge lasting impact on our family, who was in the desperate trenches of grieving Ellie’s passing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/66a58b03-cd3e-4c68-aa82-442afd3fc6a6/IMG_3193.jpg Blog - I am the Storm. - When I saw it, I knew that “I am the storm” was exactly what I wanted. Life is going to continually throw us curveballs. It’s not a question of IF but a question of WHEN. The storms come and go. We are all tested beyond our limits. We anchor ourselves the best we can, holding on for dear life and doing whatever we have to do to keep the faith that it will all work out in the end. Now, let’s be real here: having that kind of blind faith is really freaking hard. It’s difficult to believe in something you can’t see and to stay positive while the rain is coming down so hard that you can’t see even your hand in front of your face. I think we all struggle with that on some level. Wondering how a certain situation will work out, worrying about what’s to come on the other side of the storm, and hoping and praying that the storm won’t destroy us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/56e3e6db-03e9-4998-b9bc-e7923287bb2d/CB9613AA-6C64-45A6-89CE-E766CF62457A.png Blog - I am the Storm. - So, I decided to open my Canva app and see what I could come up with, starting with a blank Instagram block. I typed in the words “I am the storm” and changed the fonts a few times, stumbling on a cursive one that was perfect. I wanted to incorporate a butterfly for Ellie, so I started looking through the element options and instantly knew when I found it. It was subtle and dainty, yet incredibly powerful, and when I thought about the fact that this would be inked on my body for the rest of my life, it didn’t scare me; it inspired me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/b4846421-7006-4e4c-85e6-01ccf8f6634d/IMG_3239.jpeg Blog - I am the Storm. - Upon walking in, the woman at the front desk greeted me with a smile, took my ID card, printed off some paperwork to fill out, and pointed me to my friends sitting with our tattoo artist at the table. The process was fascinating, creative, and techy. Our artist, Travis, was a laid-back and reserved gentle giant, and he immediately put me at ease. I’m not an overly quiet person (shocking, I know), and he didn’t seem to bat an eye. We laughed, joked, and snuggled on each other, reassuring each other that we were all gonna do the damn thing and be just fine. We went through the art that we had emailed to Travis earlier in the week, and he dove into each one on his iPad with care and an eye for perfection. He made sure that the size, placement, and look of it were exactly what we wanted. He printed them off, and we cut them out, allowing us to get an idea of what it would look like on our skin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/f93ea591-c39e-4239-aace-db2df3b5bb9c/IMG_3241.jpeg Blog - I am the Storm. - So, I volunteered to go first because I was scared that if either of my friends had issues or if it was really bad, then I would chicken out and run for home. As Travis got everything cleaned, sanitized, and ready for my tattoo, I was a 50/50 mix of anxiety and excitement. I also threw out some awkward mom dance moves that would have embarrassed my children to their core as I tried to hype myself up. (Picture the running man paired with the macarena - yes, it was that bad) IMPORTANT: I cannot stress how vital it was to be there with two of my closest friends. They know me exceptionally well, and I’m always at ease in their presence, which helped my nerves immensely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/502fef6b-2176-4cf3-bca1-c19c2cb26e3a/IMG_3248+2.jpeg Blog - I am the Storm. - You guys - it was SO WEIRD! I was doing just fine, and my body almost felt like it was going into shock. I was sweating profusely, breathing as best as I could, and just trying to stay coherent. Once the wave started to slowly evaporate and the heat began to leave, I opened my eyes, and my friends told me that my face was green, so of course, I had to snap a picture of myself. I really am a glutton for punishment these days, and I’m not even the least bit embarrassed to share this photo because it’s as real as it gets. The nice woman at the front desk came over with chewable glucose tablets, suckers, and fruit snacks. I relayed to her that I had only eaten half of a protein bar before I came because I didn’t want to throw up. Boy, did my plan backfire. She comforted me and said that it’s common for people’s blood sugar to plummet when getting a tattoo, which is why they were so prepared with all of their supplies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/7bccdab8-8407-40cc-a3ab-747f4091df19/IMG_3251+2.jpeg Blog - I am the Storm. - This time, I decided that the songs weren’t distracting enough, and it would be better to try and talk to my friends in an effort to not think so much about the pain and what was happening. I had a line of suckers that I kept eating, which was also a helpful distraction, along with the fact that I was very close to being done. I just had to hold on for a few more minutes. When Travis said it was done, I glanced at my arm and immediately broke down. An intense wave of emotions overcame me, and the reality of the past four years came to a head. It was one of the most powerful things I have ever done and a moment that will forever be etched in my heart and soul. I looked up at my friends, and they were crying with me. That was the icing on the cake. Being there with my girls, who held my hand, as well as the garbage can, made our bond that much stronger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/c8a5013e-8ac9-43ca-a29b-85e6e3f89df1/IMG_3250+2.jpeg Blog - I am the Storm. - The finished product was beautiful—it was exactly what I had envisioned. I may have felt like I had just run a marathon, but I was also ready to take on the world. It’s funny how an experience like this can take you through so many different emotions and intensely push the limit of your mental and physical strength. I’m not sure I was entirely prepared for all of that, but it also made the accomplishment that much sweeter. I’m so happy and elated to have this unique, incredibly important message and my sweet Elliefly with me as I continue through this crazy life. I’ve heard that tattoos are like childbirth; you eventually forget the pain and want to have more….but I think I’ll probably be the hand holder instead. That said, ask me in a few months, and who knows, my answer just might be different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65ef5f65a079080fa509c9ee/1e812eb2-6bc8-4116-84eb-0d3249ccf547/IMG_5452+2.jpeg Blog -
