Welcome to the on-line world of Steve Tallamy, I am a freelance writer, Co-Author, Marketer and a lover of life and nature. I have been writing in one form or another for over 30 years, either professionally or simply for my own pleasure. It may sound sad to you but I enjoy researching topics to write about and find that it’s a great way to learn without having that classroom and teacher phobia hanging over me. This website is where I share with you my musings on life, my hobbies, passions and business ventures, so I hope you will find something of interest to entertain you.
I have lived here in Poole in Dorset on the South coast of England for the past 15 years or so, surrounded by beautiful beaches, the wildness of the New Forest and the lovely Purbeck Hills, perfect for walking, water sports, sight seeing, eating out or just chilling with family and friends. Anyway you’ll find out more about me as you follow my posts and if you feel so inclined you can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed or LinkedIn and a few other social websites, just hit the ‘Follow Me’ tab over there on the right.
A little explanation …
I have a Love of Nature, by which I mean wildlife, flora and fauna, mountains, valleys, streams, rivers, seas and oceans. I mean the whole living planet that I have the pleasure to be living on in this moment. I get excited; a shiver goes down my back when I am connected with Nature. I feel alive, really alive!
I have a Love of History, by which I mean how the past has brought us to where we are today, the people, the events, and the civilisations that have shaped the way we live and think. I get excited; a shiver goes down my back when I am connected with History. I feel alive, really alive!
The use of the word ‘connected’ is deliberate for we are all connected with Nature and History, we are a part of it and we are expanding ourselves with our knowledge, experience and appreciation of it. To explain this I can only use my own knowledge and experiences, I am no Guru, I have not been to University and hold no formal qualifications. There is much I do not yet understand but that is not important to either you or me in this moment of time. In writing this blog I will not be using technical jargon because I do not understand it myself, and nor do I want or need to. There will be no words of magical mystysism, just the plain and simple language that you and I use every day of our physical lives. To describe the wonder and sometimes awe that I feel when connected to Nature and History does not need fancy words, you already know the feelings I will be describing to you – you already feel them for yourselves.
Just think and picture for a moment the sight, sound and emotions of:
- A gorgeous sunrise or sunset.
- Watching a seagull swoop and reel against a warm balmy breeze.
- Sitting in a garden or park that is full of beautiful textures, colours, scents and sounds.
- Listening to the bird’s dawn chorus.
- Walking barefoot in the grass.
- Watching and hearing the waves breaking against the shore.
- Standing in an open field and feeling the energy from it’s past, present and future.
The list is endless and I’m certain that you have already conjured up a whole lot more thoughts of your own. It is those feelings that you experienced in the past few moments, connected with Nature and your Inner Being that I want you to concentrate on whilst reading this blog. No words can describe them better than your own emotions can, so I shan’t even try.
I don’t know if you realized it but what you just experienced didn’t cost you a Penny, not a Cent, a Sou or a Euro! Your connection with Nature gave it to you for free. How wonderful it that? This means that you can connect and enjoy those beautiful feelings anytime you want to, when you feel the need for some peace or just plain and simply want to feel good. See, I’ve shared something powerful with you already and you have only read what could be termed the preface! What other wonders await you within these pages? Read on and find out.
Love, Peace and Harmony.
Steve
