- [I Was Thinking About Suicide When I Found Out My Best Friend Was Dead.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/i-was-thinking-about-suicide-when-i-found-out-my-best-friend/): 5 years today, I experienced my first suicidal thoughts.
- [Time Never Has And Never Will Make Sense To Me](https://amberlindsaymar.com/time-never-makes-sense/): Reimagined Dali inspired doodle of Time (The Persistence of Memory) for Amber Lindsay Mar The Blog 
- [I Used to Think I Was Miserable Because of My Life. Turns Out… It Was Me.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/my-life-wasnt-miserable-i-was/): I used to overlook those moments constantly because I was waiting for bigger things to finally make me happy.  Turns out life was already happening... 
- [A Tiny Life Update From Me](https://amberlindsaymar.com/a-tiny-life-update-from-me/): My divorce finalized May 1st. It’s strange how endings can feel so heavy and freeing all at once.
- [Gratitude Isn't Something I Practice — It's Who I Am](https://amberlindsaymar.com/what-is-gratitude-as-a-way-of-living/): Gratitude isn't a practice I save for good days — it's who I am. Here's what living in genuine, grounded gratitude actually looks like, and why it changes everything.
- [Human Design: The “Cheat Code” I Didn’t Know I Needed (Until I Did)](https://amberlindsaymar.com/human-design-cheat-code-alignment/): If you’ve ever felt out of alignment, Human Design might be your answer. I’m sharing how it helped me understand myself and move through life with clarity and confidence.
- [I Don't Want My Kids to Just Know "Mom." I Want Them to Know Me.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/i-want-my-children-to-really-know-me/): Motherhood asks you to wear so many hats. But underneath every role is a real woman. And I want my children to know her — not just the one who showed up for them.
- [I Spent Years Pouring Into Everyone But Myself — Here's What It Actually Cost Me](https://amberlindsaymar.com/giving-yourself-the-love-you-give-others/): I was generous, devoted, and completely self-abandoning. I gave my best time, energy, and love to people outside of me. And it cost me more than I realized.
- [You Can't Control Other People — And You Were Never Supposed To](https://amberlindsaymar.com/cant-control-other-people/): We spend years trying to control, fix, and manage people around us. But here's the uncomfortable truth: you can barely control yourself. So what are we even doing?
- [The Divorce Is Not The Hard Part. The Attachment Is.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/the-divorce-is-not-the-hard-part-the-attachment-is/): Let me just say something that might make you do a double take. I am blessed to be going through a divorce. Not broken. Not bitter. Not a cautionary tale. Blessed. And I don’t say that lightly. Here’s What Nobody Tells You About Divorce We know the stereotype. One person is devastated. The other is relieved. One is clinging. The other is already gone. One is humiliated. The other feels free. One is confused. The other has been sure for years. That’s the version of divorce we grew up watching — in our families, in movies, in the group chats. […]
- [I Made My Vision Board the Day Before the Lunar New Year-- And That's Exactly Why It Will Work](https://amberlindsaymar.com/vision-board-chinese-new-year-manifestation/): It wasn't late. It wasn't rushed. It was aligned — and that's exactly why it's going to work. Here's what I know about vision boards that most people don't. 
- [Privacy Has Given Me Peace](https://amberlindsaymar.com/privacy-has-given-me-peace-power-of-being-private/): The moment I stopped sharing everything with everyone, everything changed. Here's what living privately actually did for my life.
- [What Happens After You Had It All?](https://amberlindsaymar.com/what-happens-after-you-had-it-all/): I had the life that looked perfect from the outside. And then I chose something different. Here's what comes after.
- [Marriage Wasn't For Me And I Found Out Too Late](https://amberlindsaymar.com/marriage-wasnt-for-me-and-i-found-out-too-late/): I'm not bitter. I'm not broken. I'm just honest — and this is the most honest thing I've ever written. 
- [Hide And Seek Never Ages](https://amberlindsaymar.com/hide-and-seek-never-ages/): We're all hiding from something. The question is whether we're ready to be found. I'm just kidding hahaha
- [Date Yourself After Marriage. See what happens next...](https://amberlindsaymar.com/date-yourself-after-marriage-see-what-happens-next/): Nobody told me that the most important relationship I'd rebuild after my marriage was the one with myself. Here's what happened when I started dating me.
- [Phone Free Weekends? Absolutely, For My Kids](https://amberlindsaymar.com/phone-free-weekends-absolutely-for-my-kids/): I used to hear it all the time. “Enjoy it. Time goes by so fast.”“You’ll blink and they’ll be grown.”“Put your phone down. You’ll regret not being present.” And I believed them… but not fully. Not until I became a mom myself. Now? I get it. Deeply. These days, I’m incredibly intentional about how I spend my weekends — especially with my children. My phone is away. Notifications are off. The outside world can wait. Because my kids? They can’t. Being Present Is a Choice (And One I Take Seriously) In a world where we’re constantly connected, being present with […]
- [Uninterrupted Me Time: Why Waking Up at 5AM Changed My Life](https://amberlindsaymar.com/uninterrupted-me-time-why-waking-up-at-5am-changed-my-life/): I wake up at 5AM every single morning.Not because I’m trying to be productive.Not because I’m romanticizing hustle culture.And definitely not because some billionaire morning routine told me to. I do it because it’s the only time of day that belongs completely to me. Before the world wakes up.Before messages, responsibilities, expectations, or noise.Before anyone needs anything from me. It’s just… me. And that time? It’s sacred. The Quiet Hits Different at 5AM There is something about early mornings that feels untouched.No urgency. No pressure. No one asking questions. No one needing answers. The house is still.The sky hasn’t decided […]
- [I Want To Be Good At Co-Parenting...](https://amberlindsaymar.com/i-want-to-be-good-at-co-parenting/): Since separating from my husband, I made one thing very clear to him:our divorce is just that—our divorce.Not his parents’. Not my parents’. Not anyone else’s. Which means we actually get to do things differently. We get to learn from our parents’ mistakes instead of repeating them on autopilot. While we’re waiting for the divorce to finalize, I didn’t want this past holiday season to suck—at least not for my children. After everything they’ve gone through in the last six months—moving countries, changing schools, and starting an entirely new life without the physical presence of the only other adult they’ve […]
- [Is Copper Ware Seriously Better For Cooking?](https://amberlindsaymar.com/is-copper-ware-seriously-better-for-cooking/): Why I’m Choosing Copper Cookware (and Why It’s Part of My Intentional Living Era) If you read my last blog post, you already know this: I’m being way more intentional with my life right now.Not in a loud, performative way.But in a quiet, everyday choices matter kind of way. And honestly? That intention has to start somewhere real.For me, it starts in my kitchen. We talk so much about health, healing, nourishment, and “doing better,” but then we ignore the things we use every single day. The pans we cook our food in. The materials that touch our meals. The […]
- [17 & A Decade: My 27th year.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/17-a-decade-my-27th-year/): Happiest of birthdays to me!!!!!!!!! My 27th year of life! This blog post is all about me. I have 27 things to be grateful for. I would like to say them unapologetically to all those who are willing to read them. Here it goes…. The things I’m most grateful for at 27: Here’s to 17 + a decade… My first (of many birthdays) to come celebrating with just me, myself and I. xxoo, AMBER LINDSAY M
- [One Year Hiatus From My Digital Life! It's Okay...](https://amberlindsaymar.com/one-year-hiatus-from-my-digital-life-its-okay/): How Does One Explain a One-Year Hiatus? Let’s See… Reflecting on an entire year can be challenging, especially when memories blur and words seem insufficient. Life moves swiftly (FAST AF actually), and capturing every moment in real-time isn’t always feasible. But here’s the thing: we don’t owe anyone an explanation for our pauses or absences. So, I won’t provide one. However, since you’re hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee, let’s acknowledge that life unfolds in unexpected ways! Growth and change are constants, and sometimes, taking a step back is the most beneficial action we can take. There are moments when we drift away from routines […]
- [It's NOW or NEVER... Seriously.](https://amberlindsaymar.com/its-now-or-never-seriously/): First selfie in my new residential country. 
- [Cheers to a Year of Blogging!](https://amberlindsaymar.com/cheers-to-a-year-of-blogging/): A lot can change in a years time… As I sit down to write this blog post, I’m filled with a whirlwind of emotions. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since I embarked on this blogging journey. In the span of just twelve months, my life has taken me on a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. There were lots of challenges and triumphs. From coping with abrupt loss to embracing new beginnings… And from navigating a foreign land to welcoming a new addition to our family… This past year has been nothing short of extraordinary! […]
- [The fear of being seen has had power over me until now...](https://amberlindsaymar.com/the-fear-of-being-seen-has-had-power-over-me-until-now/): My one true desire in this lifetime is to be myself unapologetically. What does that mean? It means to… Easier typed up than done, huh? No kidding. I can say that my experience with confidence and encouragement is immeasurable when it comes to others. When a friend of mine is sharing something they want to pursue and end it with “but who knows”; I ALWAYS make sure to let them know they’ve been heard, seen and have someone (me) believing in them. Why? Because why tf not. What do I lose from emotionally and mentally supporting a human in their […]
- [First month of the year has been extremely beautiful...](https://amberlindsaymar.com/first-month-of-the-year-has-been-extremely-beautiful/): January 2024 was a month filled with intentional productivity This past New Year’s had me so excited for this month that I felt like THAT GAL from the moment the clock stroke midnight. I have the sweetest clip of my little family and I just relaxing on our 4th floor balcony of our cozy apartment in South Korea sharing blissful kisses while welcoming the New 2024 Year. One thing I want to share right off the bat is that my house was PRESTINE Day 1 of the 2024 year. Like I’m not kidding. Our Christmas decorations were packed and out […]
- [Keep that same energy you have at New Year's every day](https://amberlindsaymar.com/keep-that-same-energy-you-have-at-new-years-every-day/): I want to share why New Year’s doesn’t phase me much… I was scrolling through Pinterest a few years ago before NYE and came across this quote that just blew my mind and really sunk into my heart and SOUL. I’ve made it the theme of my life. It reads as follows: Of course the aesthetically pleasing sunset over the ocean really brings all the vibes. The most simplest of words can be so profound, it’s so cool. It really got to me so deeply that I posted the following on my personal Facebook page: People don’t realize every new […]
- [It's my birthday and I'm surprisingly not crying](https://amberlindsaymar.com/its-my-birthday-and-im-surprisingly-not-crying/): Today I turn 25 years young! Happy birthday to me! I am a quarter of a century in this lifetime of mine. It’s absolutely insane. So the reason I say “surprisingly not crying” is because for some odd reason, every birthday I have just bawled my eyes out. I get chocked TF up. Why? I really can’t pin point it. Maybe in a way it was my symbolically shedding my old self and releasing all the emotions I went through that year to start anew and fresh Day 1 of *insert new age here*. Since I could remember the second […]
- [It's Sagittarius season and if you're not one: start acting like one](https://amberlindsaymar.com/its-sagittarius-season-and-if-youre-not-one-start-acting-like-one/): There are so MANY things to be said about a Sagittarius (those born November 22nd to December 21st), and having seen and heard it all; they’re absolutely not wrong, not one bit. Let me just list a few: Obviously, I could totally keep going but you can search it up yourself and fall in love with all of the descriptive words the world has generously given us. As a blessed angel of Jupiter myself, of course this piece is going to be bias AF but that’s the point… And I hope you get a clue as to why you should […]
- [I now reside in South Korea!](https://amberlindsaymar.com/i-now-reside-in-south-korea/): I literally moved 6,205 miles across the world! It’s unbelievable really. I will be here for the next 3 years! We arrived late August and since then have found the most QUAINT apartment I could ever ask for. My proximity to all things yummy and convenient is absolutely insane! I definitely haven’t the luxury of takeaway in 3 YEARS. Like seriously. So I am in heaven being able to have lazy nights! Other than my living situation, I was able to buy the CUTEST, most convenient sized SUV here for under 3k! Amazing right?! There is literally so much to […]
- [Let's Talk About Commitment](https://amberlindsaymar.com/lets-talk-about-commitment/): Commitment. Such a serious word right? It’s so crucial to have commitment in anything you do. I have been looking back at my life and trying to find where I have been the MOST committed and the very least. I have come to the conclusion that since infancy I have been committed AF to all things that bring me the most JOY and come easily to me. Of course anyone would be committed to “having a good time” but I mean it in the most sincere way that that is ALL I have ever been committed to in my life. […]
- [10 Ways To Be More Fulfilled In Life](https://amberlindsaymar.com/10-ways-to-be-more-fulfilled-in-life/): Photo by Lens N See By Lindsay I live a more fulfilled life because of the clues it gives me. You want to know where the clues to a more fulfilled life lay? They’re sayings we don’t pay mind to yet always seem to hear. That’s right. Cliches. For some reason, no one knows exactly where they all derive from yet they are nonstop being said throughout life and continue to be. I want to give you 10 things you’ve heard before but never really listened to. Let me give you my perspective on each to better help you understand […]
- [A Love Letter to My Reader💌](https://amberlindsaymar.com/a-love-letter-to-my-reader/): To My Beloved Reader, Thank you for searching for whatever it was that lead you to me. Although we don’t know each other quite well just yet, I am grateful. I am grateful to have a meeting point that transcends space and time (as my favorite person on this Earth at this time, Maryam Hasnaa, says so accurately). Cyberspace is incredible and although at times it leads us to be distracted from ourselves it is a tool that allows us human beings to connect from anywhere and at every simultaneous moment we share at all times. Before you dive deep […]
- [Why blog now?](https://amberlindsaymar.com/hello-world/): Because life is too short to not be doing exactly what you want to do. I want to connect with those that resonate with what I have to say, feel and think. I wanted a space in cyberspace that is authentically me. I am a writer by trade but had chose to do everything else but my passion… until now. It’s 2023 and there is no time then today to do anything you desire, that’s how I feel. I am 24 years in my lifetime and I have much to share, expose and genuinely create a safe space of conversation. […]

- [A Lot Has Changed... And Here's what](https://amberlindsaymar.com/a-lot-has-changed-and-heres-what/): First and foremost, a lot—and I mean a lot—of you have been confused about my current marriage status. I understand why. At first, I didn’t communicate it clearly because I was in shock and unsure how to navigate so much change happening so quickly. That, for starters, is what’s different now. I want to be very clear about one thing: change—especially in my life—is coming from a good place. It’s meant with positive intention and a healthy connotation, not a negative one. Another very noticeable change is my physique. Honestly, I’m just as amazed and stunned by the drastic shift […]
