Dear Becket, I am trying to find a way to tell you how much I love you. There was a night recently when we were traveling, when I was awake all night in our hotel room worrying how I could describe it to you. My love for you is deeper than the deepest depth, wider than… Read more »
Once upon a time, I was the Assistant Designer for Banana Republic evening-wear, swim-wear, active-wear, and intimates. I was part of an International Design Team housed in a gorgeous old warehouse in the garment district of NYC with gothic pillars and floor to ceiling windows and an open limit shopping account. My boss was a… Read more »
Hi. I’m Tami. And I’m a recovering People Pleaser. I am happy to report that most of the time, at this stage of my life, I am successful in living my life doing what is right for myself and my son, and not worrying about what others think. Most of the time I can create… Read more »
(With deep apologies to poets everywhere) Tis the week before Christmas and all through my town If you are not careful, you might get run down.

I feel… Read more »

“Tami’s exciting and contagiously so. If you get the chance to listen to her, do it and bring your friends, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Tami comes across as genuinely relevant and interesting; not a name-dropper or a resume-reciter. She is naturally captivating.”
