Amy Paffrath Instagram – I have love leaking out of my eyes – @maestrolovelove
To Michael and the hundreds of people who have enriched my life with gems like this: THANK YOU.
It has been an incredible 5 years with Spectrum News. It is very rare that you get to do work that is fulfilling and in service of humanity.
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of getting to know my city intimately and the wonderful people who make it so special.
I’ve grown as a journalist and as a human. My skills have sharpened and my storytelling has improved immensely. Most importantly I’ve been forever changed by listening and learning from each of my subjects.
Talking to @corey_obrien inspired me to get sober
Meeting with @prosperity.market showed me how essential it is to be intentional with where we spend our dollars
Singing with @urbanvoicesproject showed me the incredible healing power of music
This is a tiny fraction of the hundreds of people I’ve interviewed and who’ve touched my heart.
This was a dream job in every sense.
And it was always more than just a job for me.
I was sharing good news long before anyone wanted to pay me to do it. I pursued this idea relentlessly until the timing was right and it found a platform and offered me a paycheck.
Thank you for believing in me, Scott Warren.
I moved to LA seeking fame and fortune only to find deep fulfillment in my journalistic roots. I discovered my superpower is curiosity and connection.
I love meeting people.
I love deep conversations.
I love learning and growing.
The truth is I have a propensity towards the dark.
I work very hard to keep my spirit bright.
It’s a daily struggle for me to stay positive.
This job gave me hundreds of reasons to keep seeking the light.
It’s proven time and again that people are GOOD.
The world is GOOD.
Los Angeles is GOOD.
Thank you Cater, Lindy, Traci and Brittany for your guidance.
I’m truly grateful for this opportunity and I’m sad it’s coming to an end. I will be focusing on my writing and turning these stories into a ‘What’s Good’ guide to LA.
A love letter to the city and people who made me better.
Until then, I’m letting the love leak out of my eyes 🥹
Keep dreaming big. I know I will 🌟✨💫 | Posted on 19/Dec/2023 20:03:07
