And so, I write............hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/494843I've pretty much run out of handy, old, "almost there" poems or stories, the ones that I can just dust off, finish up and rely on to keep my blogs churning, during those days or even weeks when I don't find/make time to put my pen to paper, or when my pen's just temporarily out of inspired ink....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/493564How many parents have the privilege in life of honoring one of their own children as one of their personal heroes? I don’t know the answer, but I am inclined to believe it is a relative few. I happen to be one of them, thus the basis for this story. From one of my most painful moments in time,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/486228The poem below was inspired by a dream my Sister had about our only Brother, shortly after he was murdered. What a gift she was given, what a beautiful, hopeful message to deliver to the rest of our grieving hearts. Asleep in the night, she began to dream, and a knock came at her door~ There you...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/484135My inner strength is real and powerful It is the only thing that has enabled me to have faith When a huge part of me saw nothing to believe in~ It is the only thing that has allowed me to love When a huge part of me wanted so much just to hate~ It is the only thing that has given me laughter When...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/483870I was adopted into a family existing of only adopted children – two older sisters and one older brother, all from different birth mothers. I always knew I was adopted, that we were all adopted, although I didn’t know exactly how or why some children ended up in families they weren’t born into,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/481383Brotherly Love Someone once said, “You are the hero of your own stories.” I came across a story I jotted down about 17 years ago and the memory still brings a smile to my face. So I thought I’d share it here, today. It was a brief little moment in time, where a simple, impromptu act of a child,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/480817...must not be a marketable item. What a different world we would live in, if the vast majority could figure this out. Society has evolved into one, big, materialistic, status- worshiping, pit of vanity. THE REALITY Values are no longer valued. Individuality has blended into the masses....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/480566~The Man on TV~ I never truly realized the severe influence of advertisement upon our society, until I became a mother and saw the impact actually surfacing through my preschool-aged children. As an adult, I am subconsciously bombarded with television, radio and magazine ads every day. Although...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/479348Memories of My Meadow Even today, when I close my eyes and take a deep, cleansing breath, I am able to find my way back to a memory, find my way back to a place in time where I first experienced the true unity of the earth and sky. The midnight hike came to an end with a rest period. The guidance...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Tamis_Time2/479194Today, July 31st, is my oldest Sister's Birthday. Unfortunately, she is not here to celebrate it with us. Cathey, and my niece Jana, her 3 month old daughter, were killed by a drunk driver when I was 13 years old. Sounds like a long time ago, and it was. Funny thing, the anniversary of a loved...
