There is an energy out in the world right now that is really pushing us to be our authentic selves. We really need to be true to US. Who WE ARE. What we want. We need to stop worrying about what other people might think or say or do.  We have been PROGRAMMED (mostly by the media).  They keep telling us what to do, or who we need to be to fit in.

Stop being so afraid to be yourself!  You are wonderful!  You need to let your OWN light shine, NOT someone else’s idea of what or who you should be.

People can Respond to us being us, or they can React to us being us, but either way, that is their ‘stuff’ not ours.

I want to share that I am going back to my maiden name for most aspects of my life.  If I call you now, you will see my maiden name on your call display.  If you join the Global Information Network as an Affiliate under me, you will see my maiden name.  My maiden name is Hadath.  Not quite as pleasing to some as Hawk, but Hawk became my surname in my early 20′s, I’m turning 47 this year and its time to change back!  (no reflection on my current relationship, his name is not Hadath or Hawk).

I am ME.  I am happy to be ME.  Proud to be ME.  I will take back my given name.  My website will stay the same because its been www.tamarahawk.com for almost 10 years and I will be easier to find that way.  But some other communications from me will say Hadath.

I had a “business professional” tell me that it would not be a good idea to do this, that it might confuse people or put them off.  I am going to do what I need to do and bet that you will be okay with it.  I will practice what I preach (and listen to the messages/nudging I get from the Universe), and I will be ME.

So far today I have “unsubscribed” to 4 email lists.  Yesterday I unsubscribed from two.  As they come in, I will unsubscribe from more.  Not that I have a lot more, but some.

There are quite a few that I will stay subscribed to, but I am tired of getting emails that tell me what I need to do to grow my business, or what I need to change about WHO I AM to be successful.  I will keep the ones that are encouraging me to be the best ME that I can be.

I already consider myself to be successful.  I have this picture on my wall that I bought about 5 years ago.  I look at it often, almost every day.

This is how I feel.  I feel successful.  I AM living my life in my own way.

I was talking to a coach the other day, not my regular mentor but a coach.  (I coach people, but I think its important for Coaches to have a coach too!).  Anyway, he says to me, “I think you will just have to get yourself a niche, and change your specialization and/or what you say you do”.

I was like “WHAT?!?”  Are you kidding me!  I am who I am, I do what I do.  I am all for adjusting, learning, changing and growing.  I have changed many things over the years.  One thing I will NOT change is who I AM or what I do.

Hello everyone,

Its been a long time since I have done a blog post.  I will likely have a new one up in a day or two.

In the meantime I just thought I’d touch base with a couple of updates.

I was a little ill in June and got somewhat behind on things, between that and school field trips with my son.  I did manage to get a newsletter out in June though which you will have gotten if you subscribe to it.

I’m determined to be enjoying life as I am working my butt off, so I have been camping a couple of times with my family and will be going again, I have had out of town guests, and have taken some time for exercise (no where near enough) and spending time outside, a couple of beach days, things like that.

Life is meant to be enjoyable and I have not always ‘practiced what I preach’ so I’m working on it.

At the beginning of July I took a Reiki Level I class with www.dreasintuition.com.  It was a lot of fun and, of course, I got my Level 1 Reiki Certification.  If you are considering taking Reiki, I highly recommend Drea as a teacher.  She is very gifted and has great energy.

I am trying to stay up to date with responding to emails and doing readings.  I had some flooding issues with my house so in-person readings have been challenging.  Phone or email psychic readings are a little easier at the moment.  My home is sometimes a busy place and finding a good space to meet with people can be a bit of a challenge (not insurmountable though).

I have also been taking a lot of training.  Its like I can’t get enough of reading and listening and learning right now.  I find that with learning life gets a little bit more exciting too.

I will also be doing up a page on my website for any of you who may be interested in being coached/mentored/trained by me.  Hopefully it will be up in the next week or two.

Here is a testamonial from Drea (the person I took Reiki from), on her experience working with me as a coach/mentor.

“I started Tamara’s coaching program in the spring of 2009 and it was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.  Prior to starting my sessions with her, I was living a completely different life.  I was unhappy, unfulfilled and I didn’t know the direction my life was taking.  Tamara gave me many tools to help me clear stuck energy from the past as well as tools to help me develop the intuitive gifts that I have.  Today I am living my life with purpose, passion and I feel truly blessed to be able to help others do the same.  Thank you Tamara!  ”

Hi everyone,

Things are feeling well. I just love this time of year. It is amazing and beautiful how Mother Nature works. Just when the leaves are ready to be falling from the trees, the wind starts up and helps things along. We have had 3 or 4 windstorms over the last week.

Our lives are like that too, we just don’t often realize it. As humans we have a tendency to try and hang onto our leaves even though it is time for a change, time to live for a short time in emptiness, just like the trees.

Imagine if the trees tried to hold onto their leaves all winter. An impossible task to be sure, but that is what humans do. Even though they know its time for a change of seasons and scenery, they just hang on.

If only humans could let go as easily as the trees do. Spring ALWAYS comes, new leaves ALWAYS grow. There is always fresh and new and just as beautiful as it was before.

If you feel like you are experiencing a windstorm in your life, maybe its time to take a look at what its time to drop. You need to make space for the new to arrive in spring.

Now for an update on my status this week.
As most of you know that read my posts, I have my horse up for sale. He’s been taking up a fair bit of my time, which is fine by me. I have been swamped with emails from people wanting readings, which is also fine. I have been fitting in as many as possible over the last couple of weeks, however, I am waaaayyyyy behind in responding to requests. I have only been able to respond to you as I am able to book you in.

Now, my computer has decided to start crashing. I noticed about a month ago that there were a few people I had sent emails to that appear to not have received them. I thought it was an error on their end, perhaps that my mail had gone into their spam folder or something. However, on looking in my sent items, there is no email to them!! Their original email has an arrow on it showing I replied, but I can’t find it, nor can they.

That was the first symptom. Now the second is that my video and online radio stopped streaming on the weekend. Its been 3 days since I’ve been working on my PC but still haven’t got the issue resolved.

Now the reason for this post. This morning my computer completely crashed. The “Blue Screen of Death” popped up for no apparent reason and my PC shut down and re-started. I decided to put this post out there while I am able to.

I do all my bookings and such via email. Its not bad enough that I am behind in replying to you, now I need to take my PC into be serviced. I need things resolved once and for all. My PC memory and hardware are quite good, so its some software glitch somewhere (likely from upgrading from Vista to Windows 7). Anyway, if you are waiting to book a time with me, hopefully this explains why I’m so far behind this time.

With love,
Tamara
