About Amy Hagerup

From the author: I am originally from South Carolina and now live in Dousman, Wisconsin. I have had many "home locations" in between those two states including 3 years in Ethiopia, 20 years in Ghana, and 5 years in Pennsylvania.

My husband, Mark, and I have five children, 5 "children-in-love" as I prefer to call our in-law kids, and 14 beautiful grandchildren.

We spent 23 years in Africa as missionaries with exciting life experiences that I share in my books.

I am passionate about helping others to take their next step toward a more fulfilling life. My writings include a variety of subjects including spirituality, health, weight loss, personal development, building a small business online, and sharing stories and lessons learned from experiences in Africa as well as other places I have lived.

I am known as the Vitamin Shepherd and my life purpose is "Shepherding for Growth" mainly in the area of spiritual growth, but also in physical, relational, and financial growth.
