Proof (of Life) / Installment No. 1

Behind the scenes of my new mixed media/memoir book-writing process.

Happy Sunday, Friends.

I am releasing a new series within the Gold Star Diaries Podcast exclusively for my paid subscribers (of which I have 43 as of today). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Seriously. I make my living as a working artist and your support means the world to me.

Sharing transparently with you today (all 1,550 of you on my mailing list) to help keep me accountable for this new project. I need cheerleaders + I’m not afraid to ask for them.

Today’s episode is for all of my substack subcrivers. Next week, it will behind the substack paywall. I hope you’ll consider subscribing ($8 a month or $88 a year) + joining me on this creative adventure.

The Gold Star Diaries is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The project is going to be called PROOF.

Part visual journey. Part memoir. Parts still unknown.

Listen to the pod to learn more about it. I’m SUPER excited to birth this creative project with all of you.

Until next week, I am…

Creatively yours,

Tammi

p.s. I realize the sound for the recording is a little “poppy” but I left it “as-is” because I am trying to practice not being perfect. I have found that trying to make things perfect actually takes me out of the creative process. It’s taken years to fully realize this and accept it as the work underneath the work. In future episodes, I will use a different way to record. Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you for sharing this, Tammi. The act of sharing is an opportunity to connect with all the energies that are figuring out the same kind of ideas, like me! I love hearing your journey and reflection of the Rob Bell weekend. Because of YOU, I got to experience that fascinating and deeply meaning weekend too. I’m eagerly following you as you inspire ME to raise the bar in my own life. Thank you 💜💜💜 It IS exciting to hear this process unfold. And warms my heart.

This is wonderful, Tammi! I loved hearing about your question for Rob and his beautiful observation that you’ve already written the book! 🙌💡 Indeed! Now it’s curating the work, like an art exhibition. I love seeing things through your beautiful lens and your practicing against perfection! This share made me think of a book I just finished reading called Twenty-one Truths About Love by Matthew Dicks. It is a fiction book written entirely in lists! But they’re typewritten text, so it still reads very much like a “book book,” rather than having a visual element to the lists. Just fun to see all the ways that stories can be told! 💛💛💛

I am so so excited to hear and walk this journey with you. You are an inspirational coach, friend and so so much else dear Tammi. You are the only person that gave me the inspiration to do vision boards, daily journaling (log book). Thank you 💛🧡🤍
