Welcome!

Why am I not perfectly happy?

“I’m physically healthy, have a great relationship and family, and am succeeding in my career. So why am I still unhappy? Unsatisfied? Unfulfilled?”

This was the question I was asking myself several years ago. I felt like I should have been happy.

No, I should have been ecstatic.

I had it all!

And yet, when my mind tried to settle for sleep, or I let myself drift into daydream, that underlying unrest surfaced.

There is a thirst for connection, purpose, and meaning hardwired into human beings.

Through suffering and loss, pain and joy, love and mercy, I discovered that until the soul is satisfied, we will find little satisfaction in success of any kind.

“We rise by lifting others.” Albert Ingersoll

I’ve also discovered that I’m not the only one engaging in this journey. I’m willing to share what I’ve learned and walk alongside others as we discover together how to satisfy our soul’s thirst.

Meet Me

I'm Tammy Hicks Jackson, and I'm pursuing passionate peace in the opportunities every day provides here in the southern US. [You can see my credentials on the About page.]
	On a beautiful September day in 1992, my best friend and high school sweetheart became my husband. Joseph and I have now spent more of our lives together than apart.
We have two amazing young adult sons, Andrew and Ryan, and a delightful daughter-in-law, Bethanie.
The things I love are: reading, talking (that sound is coming from my friends saying, "yass, lawd, does she like to talk!"), mountain biking, road biking, and occasionally moving faster than walking (that's my attempt at not insulting runners by calling myself one).
I am a Christian, but that might not mean what you think it does. I"m not the jerky kind. Perhaps best of all, I know that I am a person of infinite sacred worth created by the Divine with something to contribute in making this world a better place . . . and so are you!
I look forward to meeting you. Leave a comment and introduce yourself.
