Amber Phillips Whobrey

Welcome to Medora's Manner! And no, I'm not Medora...

Welcome to Medora’s Manner, our official Medora James Lifestyle Blog!

I am beyond excited for you to join us on this journey of creating a lifestyle of legacy!

But first, let me introduce myself.

My name is Amber Whobrey, and I am an Old Soul and a Mama to a beautiful daughter. I feel most at ease when I am traveling, and you will be hard pressed to find an individual that loves peanut butter and sweet tea more than yours truly. I believe words have unending influence to move people in ways fellow man can’t at times. I believe in femininity. I believe that good character and timeless class go a long way. I believe we women are stronger than we oftentimes give ourselves credit for. I believe not in dressing to impress, but dressing to influence – to influence the energy in a room of people, to influence the hearts and minds of those that are finally open to listen. I believe in building not just a life, but a legacy. I believe black and white are always not just in style, but in season. I believe confidence, knowledge, and wit make a woman with ambition a force to be reckoned with. I believe investing in yourself and others has the potential to reap a reward you can forever be proud of supporting. I believe in doing better for my daughter, for myself, and for all women. I believe in being assertive with class and kindness, in taking a strong stand, in fighting the good fight. I believe in a handwritten letter - one with beautiful cursive and a signature unique to only you, your name. I believe the beauty in us lies in the balance of our strength and our softness, a balance that allows us to accomplish the things we dreamed of as children, but society told us was not feasible as an adult. I believe our names have meaning and our heritage has value. I believe all our stories are worth sharing upon the ears of those that long to listen with love. I believe in getting it wrong, then working harder to get it right. I believe the words we say and write matter and the mind in which they begin is our greatest asset.

There was a woman that once embodied so many of these beliefs and attributes. A woman that I looked up to, that I revered, and longed to imitate, though she probably never knew.

Her name was Medora.

And I simply cannot wait to tell you about her.
