Tara's Bio
Although I have loved being 26 for the last 8 years on my website, I
figured a fresh update may be in order.
It is really hard to decide which snippets of history and career are
important for a biography. I used to have someone else write these for
me…someone who could make my life sound like a great, poetic adventure.
But in truth I can do that myself, because indeed this journey has been
nothing less than magnificent.
I suppose we start when I was born in 1973 on Prince Edward Island,
Canada. From then on the most that I can say is that I have sung my way
around this world. I have seen my life filled with every dream I could
realize, and I have also been witness to the complete desolation and
despair that life can bring. So rather than go into all the things I have
done, and undone, let me just mention a few things I have learned ~
It does not matter what degree of fame or wealth we have, just so long as
our work touches people. Awards, accolades, reviews - they are all
meaningless. I have had to learn this the hard way, because there were
times when these things did mean something. There was a time in my life
when I really hoped that singing would take me to a place where I didn't
have to worry anymore…worry about money for my family, or feeling
validated to anyone who thought I wasn't good at what I do…I thought fame
would bring more respect, more peace.
I have to say, I was really wrong. What matters is self-respect and
knowing that what you do, no matter what scale it is on, is real. And
then, use that good work in service to the world. Music is one of the
mediums I use in which I chose to express my deep gratitude for the life I
have. I am also a mother of three children and that has been my greatest
accomplishment. I am deeply in love with my life.
I think the reason I can say that is because I am starting to get it.
Starting to learn that my desires to 'not worry anymore about….' were
coming from a place where I though that I was lacking something, when
really it was all here. Right now. And it always was….like Dorothy and
her slippers. She always had the power to get home safely, but she had to
make the perilous journey first.
My wish is that we all, in our own time, find that there is nothing to
panic about, nothing to strive for or cling to, that we are home safe. All
we have is this breath. So make it a good one.
