Bringing hope and healing to the bullied in the name of Jesus

Hi, I'm Tami.

I'm a writer, speaker, friend seeker, family girl, fitness coach, animal lover, and daughter of the Most High.

I struggle with people (especially other women), and some days I talk to my cats more than humans, which is why I share stories about how God teaches me to love people when people aren't easy to love. And stories about faith, fitness, food, and felines.

If you have a hard time trusting people, people sometimes drive you crazy, or relationships challenge you because others have hurt you, I hope you find something here that inspires you to grow with me.
