About Me!
Hello! My name is Tammi! I am married to my wonderful husband Tom. I am a mother of three amazing boys, Cody, Troy and Seth, and a step mom to two amazing kids, Paige and Brett.
In 2006, I went through some major marriage problems that eventually ended a 14 year marriage in 2009. I was devastated, my whole world ended. I was pregnant with our third son and thought very little of myself. I felt ugly, stupid, and incapable of many things.
This black and white picture of myself is very dear to me and became an inspiration during my divorce, helping me see the woman I really was…not the one cowering deep down inside.
One of my dearest friends is an amazing photographer…I mean AMAZING!! She asked me, during my low, dark days to model for her. I never really modeled before but she encourage me to do it. So, I did it! As a gift, she game me an 18x20 blow up of this picture. When I saw it, it made me feel beautiful, even though I felt ugly. It made me feel strong, even though I felt so weak. It gave me the strength to believe in myself and the encouragement to search and find who I really was!
I committed to spending everyday finding myself. I prayed, meditated, worked out, read, read, and read some more. Wayne Dyers, “Excuses Be Gone”, was my bible. I started a gratitude journal, I started to understand that things happen for reasons, and excuses only cripple us from becoming our true self. I created my inspiration board which I placed outside of my bedroom and everyday when I passed it, I stopped and took a couple minutes to read the inspirational quotes and get my daily motivation from the pictures that I placed on it. I wrote out some positive affirmation quotes, one regarding my finances and the other about the man I wanted to attract into my life.
In life, many things happen to strip away our happiness. Loved ones pass away, people treat each other badly, relationships come and go, and if we are not careful, we can be left feeling angry, hurt and insecure. I never really was aware of how or when I lost myself, I just woke up one day and realized I wasn't happy. It was definitely a pile up of things that happened in my life; my fathers suicide, my mothers mental abuse, un-loyal friends and lovers, the list goes on.
It took a lot of work to discover my true happiness. I had a lot of amazing friends to help me along the way. But going thru this self discovery made me realize there’s a lot of men and woman who have lost themselves and sadly, a lot of children too. I learned so much thru my own self-discovery and figured, what a blessing to be able to share what I learned and help others to learn to accept and believe in themselves!
I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and I have been thru a lot of things in my life to make me who I am. I learned to trust that the universe is molding me to be a light to the world and to help other who may need help finding their light.
This is how Positively Me was born!
