Tahiera’s Tahieraism’s
A few months ago I became very ill. I can not remember when I’ve been that sick and just when I thought that I was getting better, I got the flu. I had many scheduled dates for speaking engagements and I kept all of my commitments.
I felt like I was in a terrible storm and the suffering seemed like it would never end. But, when I was down I wrote and I kept in touch with people via social media. When I went on my speaking tour, I made sure to focus on the reason why I was there and the people I was serving. I am thankful for the words that God placed within me. I am thankful for the hope that I witnessed on the faces of people who walked into the auditoriums ladened down with despair. Being a motivational speaker to others, when you’re so ill might seem daunting to some, but giving words of hope to people when I was suffering really contributed to my healing.
Through the storm I kept getting a call from someone who kept making this statement, “I want to honor you!” This young and powerful witness for God was someone I mentored to. I loved tossing her seeds of wisdom and seeing her reply via text to my phone. One day she wrote, “May the seeds you’ve sown raise up a generation of ambassadors and kingdom leaders in the earth. God bless you almighty.”
I was sitting in my office one day when she called me and started tossing me ‘seeds of faith’. I told her, “Now you’re tossing seeds and I am catching them all!” Tossing seeds of faith, takes a special kind of person. You must be kind in spirit, but firm in your words. You must be assuring and you must feel the other person’s pain to some degree, so that you can say the right things. You must be a good listener and you must let the person be who they are. The goal is not to change anyone, but to help them overcome life’s struggles. As a seed tosser I am helping to plant a garden of love. My friend, Yakinea Marie Duff of Ladies of Royalty, told me to look at my emails, because she had sent me a formal letter and this is what I saw:
“Dear Tahiera Monique Brown, it is my privilege to confirm your nomination as a Ladies of Royalty Woman of the Year. We are writing to congratulate you and invite you to a celebration honoring you as the Woman of the Year for Courage.”

I have read your book. I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Your words were so powerful. I don’t know where you got your strength.
When I read how you took those pills to save your kids I cried. To think you had such strong faith that God would bring you through was to say the least phenomenal. I honor you and ask God to continue covering you with his Almighty arms of protection. Blessings to you TMB.

Sarah I am so happy that you enjoyed reading my memoir, Annihilator of Innocence. It was my desire to show that in spite of all of the suffering, that I did not lose my faith in God. I put my absolute faith in Him to save my children. I am not going to say that my journey was easy, but I will say that having faith in something greater than myself and that of man, brought me through. Thank you for your support and your words of encouragement for me to continue on my quest to keep what happened to me from happening to anyone else.
