What Do I Crave?

I’ve found myself once again, on what feels like an unexpected journey, but as I walk through it, it feels oh so very familiar. If you know me at all, you’d know that I’ve had a lifelong struggle with my weight. Probably an obsessively over the top struggle but to me, it’s real, both on the inside and the out. I’ve lost a lot of weight over the years… a lot. Like a few people worth of weight. But a few weeks ago, I found myself having a major meltdown reality check on wh

It’s in the Air

Burgers on the grill. Apple trees in bloom. Green grass and sun to be… just be. Spring is coming. It’s in the air. I’m about to put all the coats and boots away from winter ~ not that we really needed them this year ~ and we got the water hoses and sprinklers out so it means we’ll probably get a big blizzard but nevertheless… Spring is coming. It happens every year, thank goodness. The long, dark days of winter stuck out of the cold, or trudging through the cold, whichever y

Sometimes You’re the Bug.

Today I got kids off to school, put a load of laundry in, got chicken in the crock pot and realized I couldn’t do it. I postponed two appointments with important people and crawled under a blanket and took a nap. I was that smooshed bug on the windshield of life who, even though her heart wanted to, her body and mind said ‘nope’. I’ve become a very firm believer that to every bad side there’s a good, and of course, vice versa. For most everything in life there’s two sides…

Eventually, You Get Good At Starting Over… Again

Yes, life goes on and the next thing you know it’s been at least five years since you’ve hit post. Yes, life goes on and the next thing you know you’re staring 48 smack dab in the middle of the face and you can’t believe you’ve filled out the paperwork for your babygirl to go to junior high, and well, gained back almost all the weight you lost way back when. Yes, life goes on and you can’t help but marvel that wildsweetboy is still alive, and actually thriving and your famil

Hi, I'm Tammy,

and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a hoper. I can't help it. It started long before I noticed and here I am, hoping each day even when I don't want to.

Really, I'm just a girl #writingmylife who keeps coming back to the fact she wouldn't be here without hope, and wonders if we need to talk about that more.

I'm also a midlife mom to teenagers, married to an ordained chicken farmer and living the life of a country girl creating ministry at the crossroads of my calling to serve the Body of Christ as a pastor, and the reality of our family's life. Stick around and we will talk about whatever comes up.

Thanks for being here!

Tammy

I’d like to acknowledge that we are on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Saulteaux (So-toe), Blackfoot, Métis, Dene (De-nay) and Nakota Sioux (Sue). We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries.

AKA "Don't Tell Me there's No Hope"

My journey to becoming a #hopelesshoper started long before I noticed. This podcast is here to tell our stories, and how HOPE gets us through even when we can't see a way.
