The Nature of This Blog

This blog is a personal blog created, written and maintained by Tara Tierney.

If you have questions, please contact me.

I use this blog to bring others along in my personal journey through life. My blogs posts are written for the purpose of sharing my own unique perspectives and some of the lessons I have learned with those who are open and ready to hear them.

If you are not open and ready to consider new perspectives, I ask that you simply do not read this blog.

All perspectives are what are true for me at the time of writing them. A perspective is just a perspective and may not be the whole truth or what you feel is true for you, and that's okay. I respect you and your own perspectives.

In addition, the choices I make are based on what I feels right for me at the time of making them and are based on my own personal experiences and filters. These choices may not be right for you and should therefore not be viewed as a guideline in any way.

I Am Not a Trained Professional

I am not a medical professional, psychologist, counselor, financial or legal advisor of any kind, I just write from my own experiences.

The info I present on this blog is for entertainment and/or informational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for any kind of professional advice, whether that be psychological, medical, emotional, etc. Any information or advice I offer should be taken with a certain level of discernment.

We are all individually responsible for the choices we make in life. By taking any advice from this blog means you agree to take sole responsibility for the choices you make in relation to the information you have gained, as well as any outcomes your choices bring.

That being said, before you take any action, I highly advise that you consult with a professional in that field.

Opinionated Content

My blog contains my own personal opinions and does not reflect the opinions of any organizations I am affiliated with.

Reservation of Rights

I reserve the right to change how I manage and run my blog, which means I may change the focus or content on my blog at any time.
