About Strike N Write
 |
Hi there, I'm Tamara Grace! |
I started my freelance writing career some years back. Since then, I've written for businesses such as, Elite Rehab Placement, Carol's Unique Design and Upholstery, Make A Living Writing, and more!
I'm a straight-shooter, and I aim high for your success!
A Little About Me
Usually I don't convey the personal aspect of my private life, with future prospects. But you, dear reader, I'm going to open myself up to you. As a first, for me.
A bit of a professional experiment.
I'm a married mother of five. Two of which are in heaven -at present. I have battled the worst of the worst, when it comes to bitter sorrow. Yet, I'm still here.
I have come to the belief that suffering isn't something to use for pity, instead, if we decide to use our suffering as a tool for growth, real change can form within our personal selves.
Transcending us into more mindful human beings.
Pain hurts. Period. There is no short cut to take when you are suffering the loss of a child, tragedies of a dark past, or abandonment of a parent. We all must face our personal issues head on, if we are to grow into better versions of ourselves.
When I was in the fourth-grade, I had decided, and declared, when I grew up, I'd become a writer. Since then I went to college to further my career, made it on the dean's list with a 3.7 GPA, only to withdraw during a miscarriage, caring for my epileptic daughter, and gaining full custody of my youngest sibling.
Some things are worth putting your future on hold, for. And that's what I had to do.
While being the sole provider for my oldest daughter, sister, and self, I fought the court and won. With a lawyer who was fresh out of college.
Then in 2012 my oldest brother, whom I had lived with from the time I was fifteen years old, passed away. He was my dad. The only one I truly knew as a father figure within my life. He showed me how to be a thriving independent woman.
In May of 2017 my mother, who had a background full of drugs, men, and a cheapened lifestyle, was diagnosed with cancer. Later that August she passed away.
Before I was able to process that grief, my oldest daughter went into what would be her last seizure, May 6th of 2018.
I Know This Seems Dark, and In Fact, It Is...
I'm not sharing this information because I'm a pitiful human being, I'm sharing this with you so you can gain perspective on who has your back, in terms of a real writer. One with depth and passion.
I started my career as a freelance writer before the passing of my oldest daughter. Within the first month of my professional career, I landed a gig and expressed with her that everything was about to change for us.
Sure enough it did.
Writing is a relief for me. It has pulled me through the good and the bad. I have had many professionals view my creative work, pressuring me to further my practice.
And then I read a book known by the woman of, Avery Bryer. She stated that all you needed was a drive, passion, and talent, then you could take your career as far as you wanted to.
"Check, check, and check!"
That's where I began. As stated above, I have written marketing materials for Elite Rehab Placement. Direct Marketing Florida LLC, Make A Living Writing, and many more!
I love what I do, and no one's going to push through the dirty grime of life, like I do. I am writer of faith. Meaning I fully believe in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ!
Despite the hardships life can throw your way, instead of rolling over, push through it and let it make-and-mold you, into someone better!
"Am I still grieving?"
Of course. The loss of my oldest daughter was the worst experience I have endured, to date. However, I have come to the full understanding that it's going to be something that I will take with me, until my last and dying breath.
Until I see her again.
A change that though I was forced to deal with, has molded me to view family and personal development from a mindful perspective. To build closer, meaningful, and more fulfilled relationships, personally, as well as professionally.
I'm still learning. And I have a long ways to go. But, isn't that the point to life? To keep growing in knowledge and experiences, through both the good and the bad?
"Wanna Chat?"

When you can't find me writing, you can find me reading the word, chasing kids, and baking up a bunch of yum!
If you'd like to know more, send me an invite on Linkedin.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
