Hi Tami!
That you stood by him so long, is a testament to your goodness. That he never realized even one of his grandiose dreams, for me, would be the most horrible nightmare imaginable. I've thought of you numerous times – you are a sweet lady. I enjoyed your poetic story: you stirred my mind profoundly, and I like that.

Tami, I enjoy your style of writing. It's very crisp and clean with a nice touch of edginess. I felt like I was reading the beginning chapter of a possible murder mystery, and was disappointed when I came to the end, because I wanted to turn the page and find out what happened next!
It's always good to leave 'em wanting more! :o)

Terrific write, I would like to see this story expanded I think you have the fixin's for a great novel here, loved this! Sandi
Whiskers (Short Story) - 1/15/2007 8:30:36 PM
Lovely, Tami. You got my attention and kept me engaged with the vivid imagery of winter, knowing it all too well ... the family dynamic, sensitively displayed. When we got to the end, I truly wanted to know more. What happens next? Any chance of expanding it?
It's worthy of it as it's super fine writing. Jerelyn

Only Opportunities (Short Story) - 8/21/2006 10:14:55 AM
LOL- Tam I loved your Uplifting opportunities to your every struggle, and being a GREAT role-model for your son too! Amidst all the Chaos, I've been there and I know the frustrations and how they build up! I love how you look at it, as NO Problems ONLY Opportunities! I always say, this motto's So very often to myself and my Daughter (grown now) There is a REAson 4 Everything! and in friends, They are a REason, a Season or a Lifetime! and I've had many REason friends, it seemed after the reason was solved, taken care of, or helped in some way - Important to them- it was Over! till next time, but no fun times in between- Hang in - I love seeing the kitty in my head, hangin' off a branch for dear life! Your pOsitive Outlook will get YOU through everything, I feel it strOngly~! My friend~ Love, Light and Peace! WArmly, *She*oxox
Only Opportunities (Short Story) - 8/12/2006 7:20:11 AM
Lol, having read Gram and now this story, you have inspired me to write about my family - well, the love of my life - my five year old adorable niece.
God bless,

Only Opportunities (Short Story) - 8/11/2006 3:23:34 PM
I enjoyed your story, Tami. I have almost always applied your principle to my businesses, but I can't say that I have consciously applied it to my personal life. I'll try it. In my personal life, I have usually looked for the silver linings after the fact. Your saying--"There are no problems. Only opportunities"--is a much more proactive approach to silver linings. I like it!
Dear Adoptee (Short Story) - 3/23/2006 9:08:52 PM
Tami, I admire you for the courage to do what was right, and for the courage to write about it and share about it now.

God bless you for having the wisdom and courage to post this loving and beautiful story of real love. I sincerely pray that one day your wish is fulfilled and you have the opportunity to embrace your baby boy, though he may be a grown up now. This was a beautiful write.
A Letter to a Man I Wish I Knew (Short Story) - 3/18/2005 4:04:24 PM
Wow, true courage and true love... you did what was best and continue to do what's best... I'm in a similar situation and I often think about it... but I also know, my needs may not be his, but if he ever does look and finds me, I will greet him with open arms...
Somewhere Blooms a Rose - Repost (Short Story) - 3/2/2005 12:56:23 PM
Tami this is very good. When I went to the institution that my mother sent me to, they tried to label me as schizoid behavior, mil impairment. But yet, if I know who I am, and don't deviate from that, there is no schizoid behavior. Being transsexual is to be labeled by professionals who think they have all of the answers. I blamed my mother for many years for hating me enough to put me away in a residential treatment center. But, now I have forgiven her, because maybe she couldn't understand what I needed. I see a therapist to help me through my transition to womanhood, and we talk like we;re friends, instead of therapist and client. Healing is such a wonderful thing, when it is brought about from others who are friends, and not just some one looking to make a quick buck. I see her tomorrow, and I have a lot of things to talk about. But I have healed from my anger towards my mother. I am healing better and better as time goes on too. The love and acceptance I have found here, in in my closest friends and therapist, has made me write poetry like Those Lazy Hazy Days Of Summer (my newest poem). But it must have been hard to live with someone like that, trying to help and then finding out he considered you an enemy too. I hope I never go through something like. And you are right, Tami, compassion is born of pain and suffering, because if we can't see or feel the pain, how can we effectively to even try to help others? This is a very good letter Tami, and as I read this, it did not even bring back any sad memories. Cya in the funny papers. May the Lord be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love, peace, & (((HUGS))) ... Barbie

Dear Adoptee (Short Story) - 1/24/2005 11:16:34 AM
Hi Tamy,
I read your letter and found it very nice and touching. You are right you cannot in any way influence this lady in her decision to give up her child. If she makes that decision, she will feel enough pain over the years without having the added weight of wondering if she allowed herself to be swayed.
Pat.

Sexual Abuse - Important Information (Article) - 1/26/2007 10:08:19 PM
Sounds like we have a lot in common Sexual abuse distroys I lived it from under five years old tell I stopped it at 17. I know the hell the prison I lived within myself because I did not know how to express what happened to me. I was 30 years old when I got help now 12 years later I am able to help spread the message that we can get help and we are survivors were not victims. This information you have is very important. Thanks for sharing this I know how hard it is to share things like this but this is what helps us grow and become survivors.

YOu say it all, in the heart of my feelings Tami~
I think Our bodies are a sacred temple, and should be appreciated and not be disrespected! The internet has too many mungers also, out for whatever for FREE! and dump ya'... Not a life of confidence amoung one self, it's more defeating! With all the $$$ spent - The money could go for other well meaning Ppl and Health funds to help others! and make the word more WhOLE! Peace and Love Tam. My friend~ Warm HuGs! Love, Sheeeoxo

Book Review: His Bright Light, The Story of Nick Traina (Article) - 8/10/2006 7:29:47 PM
Exceptional book review my friend. One of the things that I most liked about it is that you offered a balanced perspective. You levelled criticism where it was warranted but you also gave praise where it was due. The review has inspired me to read this book because it is a subject matter that is close to my heart.
You are always such an inspiration to me. Your talent is huge.
Love Chanti
Book Review: His Bright Light, The Story of Nick Traina (Article) - 8/9/2006 8:26:26 AM
Excellent review, Tammy.
Some of the books I've read recently too, of prominent writers have also had questionable or sadly lacking editing. It seems all editors can concentrate on these days are nixing "cliches" which are a part of the culture, and whether there are "too many commas."

Nudity and the Internet (Article) - 8/5/2006 5:06:02 AM
I think this article should be read by those companies who are commercializing human life and dignity by luring young men and women into a financial trap that will cost the entire life of a whole nation or nations.

Nudity and the Internet (Article) - 8/3/2006 4:12:36 PM
Excellent article my friend. I agree with all you've stated in this. I too find the internet a useful tool but it is also a den of iniquity and abused by all sorts of mentally unstable people. As far as nudity goes, I firmly believe that while the naked human form is a beautiful thing, it should be afforded respect and honour. I don't believe that people should post their naked images all over the net. It simply shows lack of respect, both for themselves and for others.
Great work!

Bright Red (Poetry) - 10/15/2006 12:28:34 PM
Precious friend,
Red is the colour of passion and you're certainly not lacking that but in this write I am reminded of a movie that was shot in black and white except for a young girl in a scarlet coat. The contrast of this little girl's coat was what made the bleak horror of the movie that much more effective. In this I feel like I'm seeing your life blood in print. You have an incredible heart, so filled with love and I pray that all you desire comes to you in abundance.
Love Chanti

Very nice, Tami -- I especially love the last verse, "and, I
alive, now, and dancing
want to live
within your eyes forever."
Lovely!

Illumination - A Dichotomy (Poetry) - 9/27/2006 6:50:08 PM
And a brilliantly illuminated dichotomy it is--whereas others often lack the soul of the poet that allows for such revelations, blessed be those poets who take time to share their soul's special vision in poems such as this.

It will always be a tough one to write thank you for this powerful tribute to those of 9/11 and the world.

Tami, you are a poet.
In a flashing moment
I saw you there
In your glory,
A moment of peace.

I agree, Tami. The rain can be therapeutic and it certainly is symbolic of much. Thank you for sharing this gift. Love and peace,

You've said so much with so few words. I enjoyed this one very much.
Real, Man (Poetry) - 9/20/2006 4:37:26 PM
Powerful and poignant words here, Tami. You have a way of telling your story in a very matter-of-fact way that draws the reader down the page and leaves him begging for more. Great work!
In My Dreams (Poetry) - 9/20/2006 4:34:30 PM
I'm a firm believer in the power of fantasy and dreams. My "Dreamland" poem is about the connection which is possible through dreams.
I enjoy your writing very much. I'm becoming a fan.

Wow! You are very talented. I will return to read more. And thank you for your kind words about my poems.

Thirsty for the Rain (Poetry) - 9/16/2006 7:09:07 AM
I know it sounds strange, but if it weren't for the negatives that plague our lives, we couldn't appreciate all the positives as much as we do. In every life, the rain must fall -- as an old song went, "... we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again ..."
More power to you, Tami -- and I'm glad you're writing again!
Love & a big hug,
CJ
Thirsty for the Rain (Poetry) - 9/16/2006 6:36:00 AM
There is no good a sunshine if it ain't for rain,no sadness without a pain.No positivity and creativity without negativity.Nice poem Tami!
Many thanks!

Thirsty for the Rain (Poetry) - 9/16/2006 4:18:51 AM
We often moan about the rain forgetting that God sends it for our good. We all benefit by it. Not only to water the fields and clear the air and streets, but also to water our lives. Simple but stimulating poem. Reminded me to thank God for the rain.
Thirsty for the Rain (Poetry) - 9/15/2006 6:34:38 PM
That was awesome, the world will benefit from the fact that you are writing now. I love the poem layout.

Warm Hugs, Sheee OXO
Five Years and One Day (Poetry) - 9/15/2006 2:36:39 PM
I also had a hard time writing about 9/11, Tami. I Didn't get around to writing "Emotional Land Mines" until 2004 after facing emotions similar to what you describe here in my journal repeatedly. I think I just ended up scribbling incoherencies. So, you are not alone in these feelings at all.
This poem carries our pains and frustrations. ~~Nordette Adams

Five Years and One Day (Poetry) - 9/13/2006 8:36:53 AM
Tami, I cannot deal with the tragedy of The World Trade Center. My company was one of the first tennants in tower one and The World Trade Center was still under construction. I hired and trained the first female guards for the site. I knew too many of the people lost in the attack. My last assignment was advisor to Fuji Bank. That is where the second plane penentrated the building. The true loss of people in the building will never be known. My trauma is that I knew too many of them personally. I appreciate your work, but I seek a quiet place when the ceremonies begin in September.
Five Years and One Day (Poetry) - 9/13/2006 8:33:48 AM
Powerful write, Tami; very well penned! We must never forget!!

Five Years and One Day (Poetry) - 9/12/2006 8:59:34 PM
I am right there with you, Tami. For some reason I really felt like the day was played down this year, like we were all expected to be suddenly healed because 5 was the magic number. I cannot forget, and truly, I don't ever want to forget, it was a wake-up call and I don't wish to be caught snoozing, ever again. That day changed us all, took that polish of innocence off that we all had always lived within. It was frightening and it was stunning, but most of all it was senseless. This is really excellent!
Take care,
Sherry

a borrowed body, then might you be a visitor too, or maybe a bit self-deluded, only thinking about turning onthe light but never will. Or maybe its the obvious anology.
Real, Man (Poetry) - 8/4/2006 8:38:52 AM
Reminds me of an obscene phone call I got one time. I kept asking the fellow to repeat himself, that I couldn't hear him. After about five tries, instead of a breathy voice he was screaming and finally hung up on me. That's the best way to discourage them...having them to repeat. ROFL
Real, Man (Poetry) - 7/22/2006 5:07:19 AM
Tami - I think we wrote the same poem in different guises but about similar guys. Strong, powerful and damn right. Glad I found this. Panda :)

I remember reading this poem before. I'm not sure if you've edited but the gist and the mood of the poem remains. Some may see it as an emotional poem, I see it as empowering and strong. You've been dealt many blows in your life but you've become a stronger, more resilient person. Yes, those scars remain but there ain't nobody gonna mess wid you. I'm proud of you precious friend.
Love Chanti
Real, Man (Poetry) - 7/20/2006 11:12:41 PM
Angry exudes from this poem and rightfully so ~ It's a frightening reality ~
After reading this poem, I was drawn to read it again and again ~
Raw emotions and scars from the past echo throughout.
Not only could I feel her needs and disappointment but also her anger ~
He hovered pretentiously ~ human flesh
She ached for a tender reality that was not there (something he was incapable to give)
Anger, underlying pain, and a flicker of Hope.
The two lines that hit home ~
"I’m as real as it gets...
Fear of men like You"
This is very powerful Tami ~ you have captured a sad reality!
Well done!

Brilliant, Tami... I can sure relate to this 100%, whether it be uninvited germs, toxins, thoughts, fears... or whatever.

My precious friend,
I'm so sorry that I missed this. You know why I have not been able to review much lately but this is no excuse. You've been so wonderfully supportive of mine. I'm so in love I can barely think of anything else. That is why I can appreciate such a write. You capture it so incredibly well. I have felt the ache for such a long time. Soon I will feel his arms around me again.
Your poetry is incredible as always.
love Chanti

This one really hit home, Tami...how well I remember the same thing in my life...and how beautifully you expressed it!

A deeply sad poem Tami. My heart goes out to every innocent being who have experienced such. Compassion is desperately needed, particularly for the disturbed people who harm. If only they knew the depth of love and relationship they have missed out on in this lifetime. A heart-striking ending!

Very important message Tami...we can never 'spoil' a person with too much love, and there isn't a moment to waste in building loved ones up with love, cheerful affection, and praise! Such things echo in our souls ... indeed, reverberate, eternal! Great poem!

To express emotion without words is a true gift to be admired. Always liked Pantomime. One clown who employed it who comes to mind from my childhood was Red Skelton...genius. "...no need for words" indeed! This last line crowns a fine write. Ty, Tami...

Stunning! That's all that comes to mind. Great piece of work, Tami.

pantomine always reminds me of new orleans, where some of the best seem to be...or used to be. I can't imagine Lafayette Square gone, surely it will be okay after the waters recede won't it?

I felt I was a kid there.
Does america have the same-it's behind you- oh no i didn't. Oh yes you did. Type of pantomines at christmas. Where famous actors make fools of themselves, giving their time for free. In things like, mother goose, cinders, snow white, jack and his been stalk?

Nice way to get your message across. It leaves a sad feeling that makes us want to help. Thank you.

In more than 90% of all cases of sexual abuse, the abuser is someone the victim knows well and trusts. It is rarely the "Stranger Danger" that we speak to our children about. <--------- YEA, I know exactly Why?--- Manipulation... It's like fishing... let me bait my hook *( with Trust with children : ( ) and then I will reel you in 1 at a time--- DAmn, they better get caught... What's worste is when the parents don't have answers in their own lives, and they drink to pass the night or day away, and to console them selves- they reach out! sometimes knowing what they do and who they do it too.... it's sad you can reach out to the hurting children, without someone being suspicious of a friendy innocent deed~! This touched me DEEPLY Tami -Thank YOU! for sharing this with us all, HOpe it gets printed and placed somewhere of Importance! like the halls of Congress --- Warmly and Sweetly,Sheeeox
