Hi there! Welcome to twelveOeightMy name is Tanya, and I am so glad you are here.
I am a single mom, and have four amazing kids ranging in age from 14 to 33, and one grandson who is just about to enter Middle School. I cannot believe it!
I am blessed with a beautiful bonus family in Central Oregon as well, and I love them all dearly.
I have been creating and sharing in this space for well over 10 years, and I absolutely love it. I love encouraging others to try new things and question this limitations they may have put on themselves. If we ask we me, why NOT me? You never know the adventure you will set out on until you realize you are the boss of your life.
I am 100% plant based, and stumbled upon this lifestyle in early 2024 in an attempt to get my auto immune disease under control. I am not a medical doctor so please any advice or suggestions you read about here or anywhere else, always discuss them with your medical provider before starting or stopping a new program, diet, or supplement/medication. I have pretty much reversed by Psoriasis, my Type 2 diabetes is gone, and I feel better than I have in so long.
I am on a journey of healing not only my body but my mind and spirit, and I have discovered you cannot work on one without the other at some point on your path to wellness.
I live in Washington State, yes, it does rain a lot. But we have gorgeous summers and until I can live in a little hut on beach somewhere writing a novel, this is my home.
I hope you follow and come back and visit! Sometimes I am fixing up a vintage piece of furniture, sharing a recipe that I can’t stop making, or talking about getting real with ourselves and living an authentic no BS kind of life.
Thank you for visiting, and if no one has told you lately, yes, you are a badass.
xo, Tanya
