Summer Essentials: Simplicity and Serenity
Summer grants us the space and peace to plunge into a voyage of discovery—whether traveling abroad or sticking close to home this season. As the days grow long and bright, it’s as if the hours suddenly open up wide and we can carve out time for ourselves in a way that might otherwise be utterly […]
Ringing in Spring
Is there anything quite as re-energizing as a good old-fashioned spring cleaning? Spring is a great time to sweep away the cobwebs, to simplify, to clarify and to make the preparations that both literally and figuratively bring life to blossom. Here at Tammy Fender, we can imagine that one day the dedicated, consistent care we […]

Everyday Happiness
So many traditions choose this time of year to honor and acknowledge our happiness by gathering together in celebration of life. It’s a time that draws family and friends near, and reminds us to treasure what’s most important. It gives us a reason to eat, drink and be merry, to give gifts to one another, […]
Gratitude Gives Us So Much to Be Thankful For!
Thanksgiving, besides offering us the chance to join together with friends and family, brings a wonderful opportunity to realize how much positivity and joy can come from practicing gratitude—not just on Thanksgiving day itself, but everyday. When we consciously and conscientiously relish the good in our lives, it brings an absolute wealth of benefits. It’s […]
A Path to Holistic Living
As we regroup and realign with a new season, I’ve begun thinking, once again, about what holistic living means for me. It’s a question I’m asked all the time—what is a holistic lifestyle? But while the idea might sound complex or esoteric, it’s so very simple. For me, holistic living, first and foremost, is a […]

What would we […]
A Mother’s Love
It seems to me like no coincidence that Earth Day and Mother’s Day fall just a few weeks apart. As spring bursts into bloom, it brings to mind both kinds of life-giving, that of our mothers and our Mother Earth. After all, just as our mothers once nourished and sustained us with food, water, […]

The Beauty Of Love
“Love is the water of life.” – Rumi I am always happy when Valentine’s Day comes around because it gives me the chance to muse on love. Where to start? Love is simple, but profound. It’s part of the everyday, but it’s also what we live for. As someone once said, love is the […]
