Tanya is available for speaking engagments and consulting to foster parents, agency's and just plain advice to a teen in need! Growing up in the system after a few group homes and foster homes was no easy task from 5-21 years old.. Remembering what it was like as a foster kid, wondering around in the dark after being abandoned and abused, never knowing the answers to life or that I had the power to change it with my thinking! My foster mother was always encouraging me and preparing me for what I am today- Foster parents role are vital and I hope I can share something that will help you raise positive leaders! As a former runway model in Paris/NY I learned that "what you look like is not nearly as important as what you say to someone to change or save a life!" I want to share words of encouragement. Help anyone who was in foster care or works with kids in care and I want kids to start taking control of their lives now-with your help, they can only succeed! You can ask questions or be enlighten with a word! no judging just a blog family that supports each other. come daily to get words of encouragement and food for thought on how to raise our future leaders!

the message is delivered!


Hi blog family!
I spoke in Syracuse yesterday! They have an amazing team to work with foster kids and parents!! You are in good hands, always take the  help being offered, you can always go back and help someone else!!
I am inspired by the foster youth I spoke to yesterday! They were smart, witty, loving, charming, funny and ready to face life head on with a smile! Thank you for letting me share my story, go out and help others just coming in!! Here is some word of advice.....

No matter what we go thru in life, it can make you stronger, if you stay focued, believe in God or higher power and know that we are all just energy and all things....all things are changing, good bad, etc... in form every second...hold out when hard time comes, pray hard but keep your head high, you are highly blessed and favored!!! We need you in this life to help others, without you someone may not have a great day!!!

Every day you wake - should be a good day, for many will not make it; suicide, depression, murder, death, all very real but YOU are still here! Be grateful for your life. YOur parents are only a vehicle to get you here sometimes- accept it and use it to your advantage!!
Who can you utilize today to help your life go foward after foster care?
1. yourself- trust your instincts
be true to you, love you!
2. friends, counselors: did u make a connection with someone in care, a neighbor, counselor, someone who always had your back - without expecting something other than you doing your best?
3. Faith: know that God and the universe has no "mistakes" he knows you are resilant and able to adjust to anything this life has to offer, so offer YOUR best, even in hard times, help others and love you!
Know that we are all here for Diving purpose, find yours, help others find theirs and live and honest life, stress free by planning your future now....
Remember when hard times hit: NOTHING LAST FOREVER!!! but tuff people, they last thru anything life throws them!!!
Lastly: "WE NEVER GIVE UP!!! failing is not an option you are the best creation in this life,  go getem!!! xoxo Tanya
ps. smile, someone is watching you, you may change or save a life!! :)
