About

Hello, dear readers! My name is Amanda, and I wanted to take a moment to share a little bit about myself, my passions, and my journey, so you can get to know the person behind the words.

One of my biggest passions is gardening. I find immense joy and peace in the process of nurturing plants, seeing them grow, and transforming a patch of soil into a flourishing oasis. I love sharing my gardening adventures, the successes, the learning experiences, and the pure joy that comes from being intimately connected with the earth.

Parallel to my love for gardening is my pursuit of mindfulness. Mindfulness allows me to truly live in the moment, helping me appreciate life’s simple pleasures, and navigate through challenges with a calmer and clearer mind. I truly believe that the practice of mindfulness can transform lives, and through this blog, I hope to inspire others to embrace this transformative practice.

The realm of entrepreneurship has always excited me. I am deeply passionate about creating, innovating, and following my dreams, and I aspire to bring these qualities into every venture I undertake. I find that there’s a lot to learn from other entrepreneurs’ journeys, and in sharing my own, I hope to contribute to this global exchange of ideas.

At the heart of all my pursuits, I believe in chasing dreams. The journey may be challenging, full of uncertainties, but the magic truly happens when you align your passion, hard work, and perseverance. I wish to inspire you to believe in your dreams, to take that leap of faith, and embark on your own journey towards fulfillment.

Join me as I navigate through my life’s adventures, sharing my experiences in gardening, mindfulness, following dreams, and entrepreneurship. Let’s learn, grow, and inspire together. Thank you for being a part of the Grounded Gardens community, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

With love and gratitude,

//Amanda

On Writing and Utilizing ChatGPT

English isn’t my mother tongue. I squeeze in time for this blog whenever I can – when my daughter is asleep or off on an adventure with another grown-up. This equates to about 2 hours of blog work per day. Sometimes it’s less, occasionally up to 4-5 hours, but hardly ever more. I share this to provide some perspective on how I work and what my posts may encompass.

At times, I publish meticulously crafted articles that I’ve poured considerable time into, while at others, I post more personal, brief snippets about day-to-day life. Ultimately, it hinges on what I can manage and what sparks my creativity to write about. As a valuable asset in my creative process, I employ AI in the form of a chatbot from OpenAI, known as ChatGPT.

ChatGPT has been instrumental in translating my Swedish texts into English, assisting with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and even in conjuring up ideas and headlines. In essence, I use it to finesse my writings in various ways. Writing, though something I relish, is not my forte. My expertise lies in the realms of mindfulness and gardening. And as I delve deeper into my work, I find my entrepreneurial skills steadily evolving too.

Also, buried within me is a little tech enthusiast who absolutely thrives on testing various technical solutions and discovering new ways to leverage different add-ons, tools, and integrations to deliver better, more engaging, or expedited results.
