Surrender and let go to grow

By Tegan Marshall

It’s natural to build walls around our hearts and souls to protect us as we navigate through life’s adventures and challenges. It’s natural but it doesn’t always serve us.

Don’t let your past define your future

By Tegan Marshall

By  |  Don’t let your past define your future… I definitely had emotionally abusive adoptive parents (thankfully my real parents that I reconnected with later in life are truly awesome!).

Taming the black dog of depression as an entrepreneur

By Tegan Marshall

By  |  I wanted to call this post “I wish I was dead” but decided against it because it was, well, too depressing. The reality is though, that’s exactly what was going through my head this morning as I was finally taken over by the black dog of depression. I’ve been pushing myself outside my…

The budget usually blows out, the credit cards get a beating, you have to visit the in-laws, there’s so much to organize. For a lot of people, the real meaning of Christmas becomes lost in a whirlwind of eggnog, Christmas…

Wandering Wedding Dress in Bavaria

By Tegan Marshall

By  |  I chose to have the wandering wedding dress in Bavaria Germany because in 2017 we visited this area for the very first time.

My journey to becoming engaged

By Tegan Marshall

At the ripe old age of forty-five, I had pretty much given up on the whole idea of becoming engaged. Let alone one day being married. I felt blessed to have finally found a man who could accept all of my bad habits. Someone I could comfortably spend more than twenty-four hours with. For me,…
