Happy Earth Day!
My parents gave me the greatest gift of teaching me how precious this earth is and that God has directed us to take care of it. It is our responsibility to keep her safe. We haven’t done such a good job sometimes, but I am still so grateful for the beauty, and the colors that surround us. This is a collection of a few of my favorite places, colors, and favorite things to do on this home we call Earth. (Especially Yosemite - if I could have a place as a soulmate, it would be Yosemite)

Easter reminds us that death doesn’t get the final victory. In spite of the turmoil, may we take a few moments to look up from our phones and see the beauty that still surrounds us. Yes, in spite of it all, we can still choose joy and hope. Let’s do that.
As Christians, let’s be a people who points others towards Jesus, not a politician. Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter filled with blessings and the promise of new life. 💕💐

Rebuilding with Confidence: A Complete FREE Guide to Choosing a Contractor
is now available to download here: romaniconstruction.com/rebuild

This guide includes essential guidance for fire survivors and homeowners from a builder’s wife with 40 years’ experience.

Rebuilding with Confidence will give you clear steps to follow as you navigate choosing a contractor to rebuild your home after devastating loss. It includes how to check license status, what questions to ask as you interview a contractor, how to reach previous clients for their input, what to know about dealing with insurance claims, and red flags & scams to watch out for.

While we wish we could help everyone who lost a home in the devastating SoCal fires, we know that's not possible.

It's my hope that it will relieve some of the unknowns and give you a place to start from as you heal and rebuild your beloved home.

With hope for a brighter future,

Hey friends- we are decluttering and I have a lot of vintage items here. I will be packing small care boxes for some elderly ladies in their 80’s - 90’s who have lost homes in Altadena. I have already heard of two that I will be packing boxes for. Please let me know if you know anyone because I would like to give them a little loving token of something that might be familiar as they move into their temporary housing. 💕

As we watched the Eaton Fire blaze across the hillside above our home, we kept hearing about friends who’ve lost everything in this fire.
The devastation is apocalyptic.
We are safe, but many of our friends are not. We carry the tension of wanting desperately to help, but not knowing what they need in the immediate wake of such trauma.
So we will let them know we are here for them, and we will continue to check in and help where we can.
We are in for the long haul of restoration & we trust in the power of community. It’s time to come together and love our broken hearted neighbors ❤️

There’s a simple formula for being your authentic self as you promote your calling on these internet streets. What if you could show up boldly and confidently as the woman you are? One who knows she has the ability and know how to help those who are meant to be in her community?
I will be offering a free class showing you the way soon - I hope you’ll watch for that and attend.
Do it for your sake, and for those who are waiting for you to unleash your message to help them.
You’ve waited long enough to step into boldness and confidence. Let’s fix that in 2025.

for a blueprint to follow that will get you acquainted with the steps, type “plan” in the comments, check your DMs, and I’ll send it your way!

No more waiting. You have a message that needs to be heard. 💕

Have you ever heard the saying, “if you don’t rest, your body will force you into it“? I will be the first to admit I’m terrible at resting. I sleep so well at night, taking a power nap in the daytime is just not my thing. I have always found it to be a colossal waste of time, so when I started radiation treatments to eradicate any rogue cancer cells that might be left after surgery and made it through more than half of my 20 sessions without feeling different at all, I figured I am the anomaly. 💪🏽 I am stronger than that mean ol’ rad machine and I will conquer this mountain! 🧗🏔️
Well, it turns out today I need to rest. 😔
And I will.
But don’t come at me next week because I have things to do. 😂😊😉

We wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah & and Happy New Year!

May we all connect with Peace and Hope in 2025… yes, in spite of what surrounds us. ❤️

Thank you for connecting with me here - I appreciate you! ~Tami

I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was filled with family, friends, and food!

Are you carrying the messy distraction of the past few months into your business?? Let me tell you a story:

Last night, I had the CRAZIEST dream!

I dreamt that 3 friends and I wanted to go camping in Yosemite (this is not unusual for us, we do it every year) - but we were going during a time when the weather might be iffy, so we decided to be comfortable and rent a big motor home so we could have a nice warm space to gather after being outdoorsy. (Again, not a stretch for us)

One of us (probably me, since I was the most frustrated in my dream and felt the most responsible) found a great deal to rent a really big RV that would be the space we wanted.

So we went to pick it up the day before our week-long trip was planned so we could pack our things in it and load up our food. This RV was so slick and beautiful on the outside - almost like those A.I. versions you see online these days that could never be real... but you wish they were. It had been advertised as having so much space, with about 4 pop outs and multiple queen and king size beds (I knowwww, very unrealistic, but this was a dream & aren't they always over the top?) We were sure it would be just perfect for our trip.

Stepping inside, we glanced around to see it was nothing like we'd been expecting. It was filled with heavy old furniture and old and dirty quilts and bedding. We were quite sure the sheets on those big beds weren't even washed from the last renter! There was a tall dresser (again, made of heavy wood & looking like a remnant of 1960's colonial style furniture) with each drawer filled with clothing (ew!) and no where to put our things. There was even a "room" with old heavy wood furniture in it, every drawer filled with junk. Why?

The kitchen was even worse. The refrigerator and freezer were stuffed FULL of uneaten or partially eaten food. There was a whole turkey in there that looked like someone had been picking away at eating it for days. 🤢

We tried to reach the owner multiple times and he was unavailable. He had delivered the keys to us and disappeared. We just really wanted to know - could we take all this stuff out and store it in a garage for the week so we'd have some space? The realization that the heaviness of the clutter would make our gas expenses double or even triple along with the fact it would take us days to clean before we could occupy the RV began to set in..... we would miss most of our trip.
..and then I woke up.

So frustrated. So grossed out. So disappointed in myself for putting us in that situation & for missing out on visiting a place that brings us all a sense of peace.

So why am I telling you this story?

Well, you may be in that place of over complicating things. Maybe you are working on something that looks really good on the surface, but inside it's a hot mess of TOO MUCH.

You've got a vision of where you want to go, and what people you want to take with you - but you've not created the space for them to be comfortable with you as the driver or the leader. Or, you've let the outside influence of another person who has filled your creative space with so much ugly and unclean junk that it's making you frustrated and question your decision to go on this journey at all.

And I know many of us are feeling this way after the falling into the distraction of a contentious election. Heavy with other people's mess.

So maybe my crazy dream was for all of us.

I want to invite you to a Zoom call this Tuesday, November 19th at 1:00pm Pacific Time to talk some things through... maybe learn how to gain clarity and pivot or make a course correction as needed to remove the clutter and distractions and redirect our focus towards what might end up being our true calling.
If that sounds good to you, click here: tamromani.com/next and I'll send you the link to the live call and the replay.

We all need this.

Here's to clarity,
Tami

PS: like many dreams, I'll be pondering the meanings of this one for awhile. I'll let you know if any new insight pops up.

Everyone’s sharing their cute costume pics - I was a giant Jack-o-lantern and was ready for trick or treaters… but none came. Thankfully, the grandkids rang the doorbell and cleaned out half the bowl. That’s how we do Halloween 🎃 hope you had a fun & safe night!
