Dr. Mel Tavares

Jesus lover. Wife to Joe, who is my real-life hero. Mom to seven adult children, several of whom live too far away to come over for dinner. Grandma to ten high-energy grands whom I don't see nearly often enough.

 

Author. Teacher. Speaker. Coach.

Survivor of Tempestuous Storms of Life. 

​

Maine 'born and raised', relocated to Connecticut a few years back. Living urban, thinking rural. 

 

I love the beach, gardening, the firepit in the backyard, camping, reading, writing, and hanging out with family and friends over a cup of coffee. I also love going to dinner with my hubby.

Fun fact: Lifetime member of Porch Sitters of America.
