Welcome to My Path!
Hello there! My name is Tanya Jean. This is a picture of me and one of my very best friends in this whole world. My girl Jam. I think that it is the strong connection her and I have always had, along with the extensive research I have done, that has helped me to realize and develop my animal Empath gifts. Isn’t she just soooo Beautiful?
This is my very first website and I am really looking forward to sharing my life’s work and my journey with you. It’s a story that even I have a hard time to believe on occasion, and I’m living it…
With Love, Tanya Jean
So here’s a little about me and why I’ve decided to do this.
The picture you see above is of my girl Jam and I approximately 10 months or so after coming home from several months spent in hospital.
I have always been an animal person. I have always felt a connection and found comfort in the presence of animals. Though it wasn’t until recently, after doing a great deal of research, that I started to understand what this gift of mine really was. It was like I could hear them and understand how they felt or what they were trying to communicate. It was with this in mind, some twenty-five years ago, when another “just for now job” fell through, that I decided to become a pet groomer. A perfect fit I thought. I would get to work with animals all day, everyday. What could be better for someone like me? I so loved working with the animals. Until one day, completely out of nowhere, I had a massive heart attack. It was the type of cardiac event commonly referred to as the “Widow maker”. I had a 100% blockage and was in full cardiac arrest for approximately 35 minutes. I was forty-eight years old, at the time. Read more…
Fiddlehead Challenge
My husband and I are very fortunate to live in an area where we can forage one of my favorite foods in the whole world, maritime fiddleheads. Fiddleheads can be a challenge to forage due to a number of factors. The hardest part for me is my mobility issues. This is of course due to…
BREAKING THE CYCLE
I have learned many lessons throughout my 54 years and most of them the hard way. I suppose I will always continue to learn. But it seems that now, I lean a little more towards the path of least resistance. Learning, to me, means investing in the growth of one’s self. I believe that if…
My Grammy… My Angel
Another Mother’s day has come and gone without you here. I can not begin to express how much I miss you and the way you were with me. I even miss those dry old scratchy hands you used to rub my back in such a soothing way. I know that sounds weird but even though…
Dreams & Nightmares
For me, there are dreams in both my conscious awakened state and during my sleep state. There are times when all I can do is think about what is to come next. What will the next chapter of my life bring. I dream about how the rest of my life can and/or will play out.…
Tiny Home Living with Big Dreams
Spring has sprung and even though it has been a little cool in my neck of the woods, I have still been able to start some of my plants in our green house. It has only been a few days since I started my first batch of seeds and though it was only six degrees…
The Power of the Mind
I have to be truly honest. My thoughts, this last week or so, have put me in a downward spiral. The power of our mind and what we tell ourselves, or allow others to impose upon us, can create havoc in our state of well being. Not to mention how this can affect those who…
Beautiful Blue
Good morning. Here is a pic of my latest piece. With this piece, I decided to use colored pencils. I chose this option for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because this amazing species has the most vibrant shades of blue in nature and I really wanted to challenge myself to capture it as my eyes…
Sugar Making time
It is that time of year again! Spring has sprung and Maple syrup season is once again upon us. My husband and I decided to tap just a few trees this year. Going small is a lot easier to keep up with if mother nature decides to cooperate and the trees poduce a lot of…
My Animal Friends
My animal friends have been, and continue to be, the most constant blessing in my life. The love and companionship they freely give has seen me through the best of times and the worst of times. They make me laugh when I need it the most, and I believe that they provide the purest of…
WAKING UP
As I slowly opened my eyes, struggling to get a clear view of my surroundings, I could feel this excruciating pain everywhere in my body. It felt as though I had been crushed in a press, like a piece of scrap metal being made ready for recycling. I could barely focus my eyes on the…
FIGHTING EGO
I have fought many battles, but none as draining as fighting my own ego. My demons and my ego are the same. My ego has made me do and say things in my life that I regret. My bruised ego caused me to act in ways that I am not proud of. I will claim…
WIDOW MAKER
As I said in my last post, everything went black after the second spray of nitro was given to me. The last words I spoke were to call my mother. If I had to do it all over again, those would not have been my last words to my husband. As he was calling my…
STRESSFUL HEALTH
Buckle in this is going to be a long read. So I have written some tidbits about my cardiac event in earlier posts and I think now would be a good time to share a bit more. I had been feeling extremely tired for a year or more before my event. I tried to loose…
Some gallery pics
Here’s a few of the pieces that will soon be available in the online store. Prints, Cards, Gift items, Clothing, Merch, some leather items from DW’s work shop and much more… Please stay tuned..
Why my desire to help?
I have had many jobs, I waited tables, worked in kitchens, did odd outdoor jobs, worked as a secretary, car saleswoman, drove courtesy vehicles, travelled selling meat door to door, call centre work, chambermaid, motel clerk, made crafts and art work to sell and I finally settled on being a pet groomer. This career lasted…
I Give Because I Love. I Love Deeply Because I Remember… I WILL NEVER FORGET!
To give, is better than to receive. A life lesson many of us became fimiliar with at a young age. It was a lesson and practice that was instilled in me very early on in childhood. My immediate family taught me many valuable lessons with their ways and their philosophies on life and how to…
GROWING UP… Beautifully different by design,
At a very young age I could sense that I was different from everyone around me. I never felt understood. All of my immediate family thought they knew me, but they really never did. In fact, I still don’t feel that they really get me, to this day. I always kind of felt like, as…
Silencing my Spirit
My belief is that we all, as humans, adapt to our surroundings. Some of us actually become different people depending on those surroundings and I am, without a doubt, one of those people. After a great deal of research and therapy I fully understand why this happens to me. I am slowly learning how to…
