meant to be change agents in our own life. We’re each being called into our own genius cause there’s a whole world who needs us. Tama worried that she was not good enough, and it didn’t occur to her that the world needs her. She was so self absorbed while questioning was she good enough. She feels the gift she has is the gift of the universe that’s within her, and it’s a gift to give to other people.
It’s not important that you might make the New York best-seller list, but to reach a person and change their lives, that’s what this is all about. It healed Tama to express herself, so it was selfish cause she did it to heal herself. And is that truly selfish if you’re healing others through your own healing work? If you share your story, the more it strengthens yourself. It’s amazing when someone hears your truth, and that’s more important than money according to Tama, it rocks her world to be able to communicate.
This whole path of finding your passion, is about learning to trust that you have an inner voice, trust- ing your voice and find out what’s true for you. Tama believed what the experts taught her, so she got straight A’s in school, and became a lawyer. Now she believes this path is learning to not listen to external authority but internal authority.
We’re being invited at this time to use our inspired capacities, and if we stick to fear based, harsh, and mechanical reasoning, those are the ways that are going to fall now. It’s time to listen to what’s coming for- ward as we’re being asked to grow and to love.

The first act of creation begins with an act of destruction – we’re seeing that transpire now, there’s fear, people are grasping for old securi- ties. There is a new way birthing now, and we go from believing our way, trusting and then believing what’s out there and go into fear. When that happens it’s important to go back inside our selves again and listen to the voice. So we go back and forth. For Tama it’s a life prac- tice of going back and forth. We’ll be forever be practicing choosing our love over fear and we’re having millions of circumstances to practice that.
How does she stop going into that hole of fear? The technique she uses is to force herself to focus on her desires – what she loves and wants – instead of the obstacles. Her mind will talk about all the obstacles, and if she focuses on that, she’ll talk herself out of it. So it’s necessary to have the determi- nation to focus on what you desire. If you talk about your desires and passions instead of why it’s not hap- pening, it raises the energy towards that dream manifesting.
Tama found what was most empow- ering was to find how she could be kind to herself, champion herself, instead of being cruel to herself, and needing approval from others. This path of learning how to honor herself has been the best thing. When negative things come back in her mind, she realizes it’s a new layer being revealed for healing and she’s going deeper, getting closer to the real person Tama is.
It wasn’t that she was so strong and powerful, but she found strength by starting something. Some people want to know their strength before they take the first steps, but Tama
