“do NOT SPOIL THE Wonder with hastE!”

-j.r.r. Tolkien

Hello friends! My name is Tamara if you do not already know me. My husband and I pastor a wonderful church in the beautiful Valley of the Sun and we have one handsome little boy.

This project is just a little outlet for myself to share the beauty in the mundane and to appreciate the normality of life. We have the tendency to treat our journey like a race when we should be slowing down and enjoying the moment at hand.

I may not live the most adventurous life, but I do live one of the most fulfilled. I am walking in my calling alongside the people I love the most.

Join me on my stroll through Phoenix and elsewhere. I hope you find the value in dawdling in the natural and absolutely booking it in the spiritual.

Welcome to The Valley View!
