Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

welcome home. I'm Dr. Tama, a minister, licensed psychologist, and sacred artists.

And this is Homecoming, a podcast to facilitate your journey home to yourself.

While I will provide weekly inspiration and mental health tips, this podcast is not a substitute for therapy.

I'm so excited you're on the journey. If you want to request specific topics or share your progress, email me at homecoming

podcast at gmail.com. Also after you listen, be sure to like, subscribe, and share. Let's begin.

I'm excited to be with you all for another episode, and today we're going to talk about

taking your life off hold and this is such a critical time in our

homecoming as we think about ending one decade and going into another that we really want to launch, to accelerate, to walk into the

fullness of who we are.

And before we get into that more deeply, we do have some vows to read.

I'm excited for those who have been emailing homecoming podcast at gmail.com.

And today we have some beautiful vows that were shared with us by

Ose Rugwa Grace Oseido and I am so excited O Ose Ruguwai, that you gave permission for us to read your vows and share your name on today.

And so this is what you wrote.

I did not write these vows before,

because I did not know if I would mean them.

I did not know what to say to you,

but now I know. Here is what I can promise you now. I promise you that we will

win. I vow to you that I will see you, hear you, I will hold you close while you cry.

I will fight with everything I have for you.

I promise you that your beauty will captivate, move me, bring me to tears.
