Bleeding Hearts Sunrise Book Launch 1/13/2024
To all of the women who have come before us. They are the reason why I’m able to share my voice here with you today. As they have paved the way.
I own nothing but myself
I am the CEO
Of my thoughts
My actions
My ideas
My voice
~Deana J. Tavares
Grateful Woman



The heart is a strange thing
It can beat and break at the same time
It can beat and ache
When it’s so full
And feels like
It’s going to explode
It beats
~Deana J. Tavares




May gravity hold us down just enough
To leave the ground
And dream
But remain within orbit
~Deana J. Tavares









”Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud.”
~Maya Angelou



Like water running through the Grand Canyon sometimes we have to etch out our own path through sedimentary layers of life and sometimes those layers are harder than granite. You may be a strong woman on your own but I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having other strong women by our side who love, honor support, share, celebrate, and continuously show up for us. Grounding us.

Just being me
After all who else was I destined to be
~Deana J. Tavares
A great big thank you to Adrienne Williams and Dot Walsh my co-hosts who opened hearts and inspired all as always. Also a special thanks to Andycellymusic.com for the gift of music setting the tone with peaceful jazz piano to welcome guests as they arrived and as we parted ways as well. To all my dear ones who attended and to community members who I met for the first time, much gratitude!
