Hey! I am Tammy, The Happy Creative and I like to feel good, joyful, and purposeful!
Look, life is hard and things are ALWAYS going to go astray…
here are my answers to the 5 questions I posted on Instagram last week:

Everything in life is temporary. Nothing lasts forever. We needn’t hold so tightly to the things of the world, they will only disappoint us. Am I depressing you? Sorry friend, it’s just they way my mind works. I truly don’t believe my gifts are for me, or because of me. They are ‘gifts’.
The Cost of Doing Business
Until you’ve ran a business for a few years, it’s easy to assume you can make a lot of money. Of course you can, but only if you know your numbers.
