Category: Tallen Family Blog and TFS

This blog series tells the true my Life and the Real Tallen Family and Friends. My Life from a premature baby’s dramatic start that began with a jet ride to Vancouver, all the way to building TFS or  TallenFamiliesStories.com. These are the wins, the wounds, and the weird little miracles that shaped who I am. Not random chances, but lessons that pushed me to grow: trying things the hard way until I broke down, only to break through. By creating lessons and sharing thoughts, I hope to keep an old dragon’s flame alive and pass that light on.
