26.2 You’ve probably seen the sticker, and chances are you know someone who actually earned the sticker. 26.2 This number represents the amount of miles run to complete a marathon. It takes the average marathon runner 4 ½ hours to do it. As a runner… well, a slogger (slow + jogger)… my sticker would only… Read more »

You Are Safe
The Park Ranger pointed North, “Two miles up the path you will see the trail branch off up to The Waterfall. The final mile up you will notice a slight increase in difficulty.” (Slight increase was more than a slight understatement.) After a grueling hour scrambling over rocks and roots we reach the top of… Read more »
What’s for Lunch?
Walking home the first day of school, Becket stopped and slumped on the edge of the curb. “I don’t like it here.” *Oh, that sound you just heard like thunder ripping through the mountains during a summer storm? Yeah, that was my heart breaking.* As is my wont, I probed for more info. “Lunchtime is… Read more »
Deeply Moved
After several months of intense denial, several weeks of sorting, culling and packing, and several days of actually “doing the thing” – I can say, officially, that Becket and I have relocated to Millburn, New Jersey. We have spent the past two weeks settling-in and sight-seeing. We are tourists in our new town, and thoroughly… Read more »
Crazy for You
We stood on the corner of 53rd and Columbus, after a super swell summer night of inner-city rambling. “Ok, well… Night!” Ross tossed me his Leading Man grin and turned to head back to his Hell’s Kitchen apartment. “Night then.” I said through a tight “everything-is-just-fine” grin. I turned north toward my studio shoebox on… Read more »
Find Your Den of Dorks
The entire arena is filled with throbbing dance music and cheering dancing people, wearing costumes and waving streamers. The rise and fall of the chants and fight songs is reminiscent of a High School Friday football game against archrivals. However, this event is louder, more colorful, brighter, sparkly-er somehow, and pulsing with actual brilliance. This… Read more »
Flow with the Go
Biology Teacher. That is actually what I wrote on my college applications. Biology? Teacher? What? While I can’t even remember why I wrote that (ode to my cute high school physics teacher perhaps) it makes me smile, because I know the person who wrote that wanted to be a BIOLOGY TEACHER dammit! And she is… Read more »
Survey Says
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 »
Stache
I shave my face. Yep, that’s right, starting three weeks ago, I am THE smooth upper lip chick! I am thrilled! But I have gotten some uneasy glances when I ask my friends to feel how smooth my lip is. Not because I am asking them to pet me, but rather because I am talking… Read more »
Expectations
I had to sprint the last two blocks but I made it just as the bus doors were hissing closed. I had only recently moved to Chicago and was just getting the hang of the bussing system, but I knew from painful experience that missing one, could mean nearly an hour of my life trickling… Read more »

“Tami was a pleasure to work with and did her homework with our group! She did her research, catered her presentation to fit our needs and still left our participants laughing and motivated to continue their work! We could not have ended our conference on a better note!
