Goddess Tammy Marie Buckley Orr | Transformational and Inspirational Coach

My personal quote I wrote by me: Live life on purpose in purpose!! We have to be intentional about our lives or it will just pass us by. We must be intentional about living or we will be walking around like mummies dead on the inside with no goal or vision then therefore no direction. If you have no vision you will perish.

My absolute favorite affirming quote that I have personally tailored from other similar quotes is “Everything happens the way it is supposed to happen to get you to where you need to be”. I say this to myself often, as it reminds me to focus on the present moment from a positive lens even in the worst of circumstances. Read more>>

My favorite quote would have to be “Delayed doesn’t mean denied”, it reflects my journey. Most people look at delays as set backs but I beg to differ. I know that everything happens in time, nothing ever happens out of season. Those delays are Gods way of really preparing you because you aren’t quite ready. Read more>>

“When You Feel Like Quitting, Remember Why You Started” It doesn’t matter how strong, tough, intelligent or positive you are. There will be days you are tempted to quit. The difference in the successful is they are the few that don’t. This is why knowing your core why is so important upfront. Remind yourself of it daily. Pivot, change tactics, get help, take a break, just don’t quit. Read more>>

My favorite quote is something my father said to me years ago.. In order to be a man you must first see a man. It means to me sometimes we see the images of men doing the wrong things in life such as running the streets,having multiple woman, not being responsible for there actions and so on and think he’s the man..But it’s the positive image of a man that works, take care of his family and being a productive citizen that is overlooked.. I’m blessed to have the greatest example of a real man.. My father Read more>>

My favorite quote is by Marilyn Monroe “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you don’t deserve me at my best.” Read more>>

My favorite quote is by the late rapper Nipsey Hussle. “Instead of trying to build a brick wall, lay a brick every day. Eventually, you’ll look up and have a brick wall.” . While I’m not sure he was the originator of the quote, I love the realness of the saying because the world has become obsessed with speed and “Easy Bake Oven” success. But unfortunately, not realizing anything worth having is a process that takes considerable time. Read more>>
