People Pleasing Free Zone a.k.a the PPFZ..

About Me


Name: Ta'Wand
Birth Date: November 29
Birth Place: North Carolina
I grew up in North Carolina, but have traveled internationally. I majored in Business Administration and minored in Computer Science in college. I dabbled with modeling and acting when I was younger before focusing solely on my education.
I am the author of an explosive "Christian Living" depression survival book entitled: On the Periphery of Death. I am a Depression Survival Expert & Positive Motivator.
My goal is to use this MySpace page as well as other marketing tools not only to promote my book, but as a conduit to positively affect the lives of others one person at a time via the Creator's Universal Language of Love. Also, I love children so, I have created a nonprofit org. to Champion worthy children's causes/charities, homelessness, the elderly and support crisis relief efforts in the US & abroad via a lifetime initiative called "Coins for Change."
Note: You may read more about this extraordinary lifetime initiative my nonprofit organization is Championing entitled: "Coins for Change;" in the "Who I'd Like to Meet" section of this page, and the address for you to send your coins to is noted in this area as well.
If you would like more information; please feel free to email me via my MySpace page or http://www.tawand.net .
I appreciate your support in advance.
For so long; I struggled with trying to please everyone else, but myself. Eventually, I got around to me. However, my need to be a "People Pleaser" almost killed me. So, consider this a "People Pleasing Free Zone" where you are welcomed to just be yourself.
I will blog about my life's experiences not just my battle with depression several years ago, but about anything I feel like discussing at the moment. I want you to feel free to do the same when you visit.
Know that I am here for you to listen, and believe it or not I actually care. If you are having a great day; I would love to hear about it. If your day simply sucked; I want to hear about it. If you did something kind for someone else; I want to hear about it. If you simply need to vent, and have someone hear you out; I am here for you.
If you are feeling lonely or depressed; I want to hear about it. Although, I am not a doctor; I am a human being who has been through some things in this game of life so, I can empathize with what you are going through.
Most importantly, if you feel as if the weight of the world rest on your shoulders, and you feel sad or alone; know that you are not alone. I am just an email away. I can not solve your problems, but I can provide you with a safe place to vent about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
So, welcome all to the "People Pleasing Free Zone." We are all a work in progress. I have learned that what doesn't kill you truly makes you stronger. Come journey with me as we face the issues of life head on - one day at a time.
No need to worry about tomorrow because, we must survive today. I am a survivor and so are you!!
I look forward to hearing from you! :-)
One Love!
