Could you switch from what you have been doing for decades to rediscover yourself and live the new You? If so, Join Tammy Hader and me on Wednesday, September 27th, from 10 AM - 11 AM CDT U.S. to learn about her fascinating journey and how we all have that special “moment” from her Walking Old Roads - A Memoir Of Kindness Rediscovered!     Tammy is a midwesterner lady who traded in her 30-year accounting career in 2018 to reinvent herself as a writer. Somehow, she was able to utilize her Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting from Wichita State University to meticulously articulate and arrange the alphabet to give rise to a series of extraordinary writing projects. Referred to as The Bashful Storyteller by one of her writing peers, Tammy authored the powerfully reflective book Walking Old Roads – A Memoir of Kindness Rediscovered, released this past June.

Resonant and enlightening, “Walking Old Roads” pulls a middle-aged woman from the realization she is at fault for breaking society and carries her out of the cynical, dusty ashes of self-isolation. Guided by her mother’s wrinkled hands, a mid-life quest for lost benevolence finds more than answers hidden within the neglected shrubbery scattered along Memory Lane. Tammy is working on the second book of her memoir series, Door Number Three – A Memoir of Stupidity and Confidence. Besides writing, she enjoys caring for her mom, cooking for her family, and serving her two rescue cats with the royal attention they deserve.
