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, 3 "children-in-love" as I prefer to call our in-law kids, and 13 (so far) beautiful grandchildren.

We spent 23 years in Africa as missionaries which resulted in some very exciting life experiences that deserve to be shared with others.

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.
