Beautiful Disaster ~ Perfectly Imperfect

Hello...My Name is Tami...

I am an Alcoholic,,,

in Recovery for 3 years...

and I have been a Beautiful Disaster and Perfectly Imperfect...

from the moment of conception.

My Dad was 19...my Mom 16...on the Joyous occasion of...

their Shotgun Wedding due to my soon to be Birth.

Born July 16, 1967...Perfectly Imperfect...

Perfect in every way possible...

except...

on her Father's side, the male genetics have a Hereditary weak muscle in one eye, 

commonly known as a 'lazy' eye...usually the right eye...

Beautiful Disaster who is Perfectly Imperfect was the first Female child to 

Inherit the dreaded Lazy Eye...Imperfect. 

Dad worked two jobs and Mom stayed home to raise Moya aka Me.

Typical 60's story...Right?

WRONG?!"

Young Mom goes Wild, running around, leaving and disappearing for indeterminate amounts of times. Only to reappear, begging forgiveness with promises and lies, of turning over a new leaf and becoming the wife and mother he deserves and needs. 

But, eventually the the Mom returns one to many times...

and this time she is pregnant?!?

Nope...

Unfortunate for the Perfectly Imperfect Child...

Young Mom runs away with an Army man taking their Beautiful Disaster with her.

During this time the pregnant Mom is following and traveling with Mr. Army...

from Base to Base...eventually having another child...a girl. 

Perfectly Imperfect~Beautiful Disaster Tami is returned to her Father when she was 5...

probably because of the Lazy Eye, she was not sold for $1,000 to strangers as her Sister was...

It's said that Pictures are worth a Thousand Words...

then pictures of me when I was returned to my Dad,,.

were chilling, haunting and soul shattering.

Bruised and beaten from head to toe, timid, afraid to look anyone in the eye or speak above a whisper. A raised hand or voice has me quivering and quaking...tears already forming in seconds in the corners of my eyes, ready to overflow and never stop, bottomless hurt, confusion, unknown shame but shame just the same. Starved to emancipation, skin and bones, ribs showing.

Unloved, unwanted, beaten, bruised, starved, permanently scarred...

and shadowy, horrific, unthinkable, subconscious memories,,,

that only become clear in the black of the night...

in her nightmares they become all to clear...

All to Real!

Forgiveness and Blessings to All Involved in this,,,

PTSD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, Restless Leg Syndrome, Autism....

Weighted blankets are a lifesaver!

PTSD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Anxiety, 
Restless Leg Syndrome, Autism, 
and more can be soothed by using a weighted blanket.

The weight and added deep pressure produced 
by a weighted blanket provides many benefits to children 
and adults alike. The weight can:

*Aid with calming and relaxing high energy or 
restless children.
*Signal the brain to release neurotransmitters 
such as dopamine and serotonin, which have a calming affect and help with mood control.
*Help reduce stress and/or effects of trauma.
*Brings a feeling of safety and protection to trauma survivors.

Increased sleep, a stronger sense of safety, and an 
improved sense of well being...what are you waiting for?

Month of May Giveaway

( This is NOT like any other giveaway we’ve done so PLEASE READ IT ALL TO GET A FULL UNDERSTANDING!

Important Information for Bloggers:

Cost: $7 to enter, $5 towards the Aspire Netbook Computer and $2 is admin fee due to the magnitude of the giveaway. This is for Facebook Link only. In addition, each blogger will supply the winner with $5 paypal cash which will be due on May 13 to the winner of the giveaway. (This one is going to cost A LOT of my own time to organize, set up and make it a success I’m certain it will be. I’m pretty sure it will make the HP giveaway look like child’s play.)

When: Blogs can sign up until March 30, 2012. Giveaway runs April 1st- May 13, 2012 which is Mother’s Day.

How it works:
There will be teams: The number of teams depends on how many people sign up. If 100 bloggers sign up, the teams will be divided into 10 bloggers per Rafflecopter and which means there will be 10 Rafflecopters. Once the entrant has entered the giveaway via team 1 RC, they can move on to another team 2 RC and enter there as well. They can enter on all ten RCs!

This is how the prize will work.
1 winner will be selected from each of the Team Rafflecopters. Each winner from each team RC will receive the cash prized from that winning RC. The bloggers on that team RC will send their $5 to the winner.
For example: Team 1 RC has ten bloggers in it. Jane Doe wins Team 1 RC. All ten bloggers on Team 1 RC send Jane Doe $5 paypal cash for a grand total of $50 winnings for Jane Doe.
Each Team RC will do the same thing for their winner.
Finally, all cash winners from each team RC will be put on a new RC drawing. Random.org will select one of those cash winners to be the grand prize winner of the NETBOOK COMPUTER!

Bloggers win too! All bloggers on the Rafflecopters will be entered into a drawing at the end of the giveaway to win $100 paypal, courtesy of LaDonna Dennis.

At the end of every month, from now until the giveaway starts, all bloggers who’ve entered and PAID their fee will be entered into a drawing to win $25 paypal for that month.

RULES:

You must agree to follow the rules of this giveaway.
1. Sign up and pay your $7 fee.
2. Agree to pay the cash winner on your RC $5 via Paypal.
3. Find as many others participants as you possibly can to come and join us on this fabulous giveaway. The more sign ups, the more LIKES! If 100 bloggers sign up, you will get the traffic from their fans coming to enter your RC and vice versa.
4. Make sure all the bloggers you refer put your blog’s name in the signup sheet.
5. The Blog with the most referrals will get their $7 sign up fee returned. And I will pay your $5 cash winnings as well.
6. You must advertise the sign up for this giveaway on your blog, both via a post and a button in the sidebar.
7. Once the giveaway starts all members signed up are required to advertise the giveaway via all their social networks and by placing a button in their sidebar.

Important Information for Entrants:
Entrants can enter all Team RCs. They can enter Team 1 RC and complete all the entries, then they can go on to enter all remaining team RCs. Technically, they could win all the Team RCs! On each team RC, they could win up to $50 paypal cash. Each blogger on the Rafflecopter will pay the winner $5 paypal cash.
And, the best part: All Rafflecopter winners will be entered intoa random.org selection for the Grand Prize: the NETBOOK!
