Five questions with Tamison Lattanzi

What does an average day look like for you?

I wake up around 7:30… help get husbands stuff together for work (sometimes)… go clean some houses… do some housework… and then make dinner and hang out with my husband when he gets home

What’s been the best day of your life?

My wedding day

What’s been your greatest achievement in life thus far?

Catching Michael… just kidding… well maybe not. Greatest achievement is one I can take NO credit for and that is God redirecting my life and setting my path His direction. My life was in a bad way about 11 years ago and God came and totaly cleaned me up with His Son Jesus Christ and life has been so very awesome with trials since then.

What made the biggest difference in helping you achieve that goal?

Jesus Christ first and formost…then a couple of Ladies who God brought in my life who became close accountability and walked the road with me

If you could solve one problem in the world – what would it be?

The way we treat our adolescents as children….I do not agree. One looks just 50 maybe 100 years back and folks in the adolescent age range were not behaving as they do today…there is a reason for that. Society has stupified them. Dumbed them down and held them back. 50 – 100 years ago our adolescents were behaving as Men and Women….today not even close. God has still given them all the physical ability to do so but our society has become weak, shallow, stupid and w/out vision… The only way I can change this is to start with my own family.
