I loved following the journey of your reawakening, Tami. You so beautifully describe the push and pull of a new birth, a new consciousness making itself known and how you slowly made space for it to shift your entire being....and then extend the blessing to others. I was moved by the way you described the paradox of apparently opposite emotions, reconciling and integrating them into the whole of You. You share the nuances of a deeply contemplative life so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this with us in such a generous, open hearted way. I'm happy for our new connection here. <3

Tamy, your writing is luminous. There’s such a graceful rhythm to how you move from the external shifts of quarantine into the quiet, internal awakening that followed.

Every detail, the hammock, the Pink Floyd guitar, the homemade lunches, felt so tactile, so lived-in.

What stood out most was your ability to hold contradiction with gentleness: guilt and joy, grief and growth, stillness and vibrancy.

Thank you for sharing something so deeply honest and so beautifully rendered.

Thank you Tami! 💫 Covid was my blessing and wake up as well. I see many reflections in your experiences in my own journey. It was a time of self discovery for sure, highlighting what needed love and light and who knew one could feel such joy in a time of chaos! Thank you for waking up! Our wisdom wakes the wisdom in others!
