Tabby Biddle, Founder & CEO
I believe that we all have the power to transform our lives and in effect be forces of change for our world. Finding my voice to say this has been a long journey and one that I am very grateful for.
Having grown up the youngest child and only girl within a family of two older brothers, I was always trying to “be heard” to prove that I was not far behind them. This in many ways I think distorted my authentic voice. Eventually what I felt on the inside and expressed on the outside became two different things. My truth would sneak out here and there, but always found its way back inside to “safety”, as I was fearful of exposing myself in any way that was not acceptable.
While I have lived a good deal of my life in my truth as an adventurer, explorer and seeker, my true voice in many ways was silenced. My actions, like for many of us, always spoke louder than my words – however my life felt incongruent without being able to articulate to the outside all that I was feeling, thinking, dreaming on the inside.
A major turning point for me was when I found my way back to singing (something I loved to do as a child). I had just moved to New York City and I showed up to a singers’ workshop with my guitar and my conviction that I wanted to sing. My excitement propelled me to volunteer as the first singer. I had prepared an Indigo Girls song which starts out, “I’m trying to tell you something about my life
” and then I continued on through the first verse. The teacher stopped me, smiled and said, “Sing to us about your life. We want to hear about YOUR LIFE Tabby.” At this point, I had no choice but to go into my truth and WOW -- the door that had been locking down my voice got kicked wide open!
Through this experience and many that have followed, I have found that my voice is one of deep hope and carries a true belief that we can make our world a better place for ourselves, our children and for generations to come. I believe that every word we speak and every action we take makes a difference not only in our very personal lives, but on a global level. Lotus Blossom Style was born and nurtured through this understanding.
As a yoga teacher, I have been deeply connected to and inspired by the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. They have provided teachings for me that have taken me outside of my habits and allowed me to grow in gentle and sometimes very challenging ways into higher awareness and consciousness. In effect, they have given me a much richer, deeper and more meaningful experience of life which I take great joy in sharing. Lotus Blossom Style's comfy clothing is infused with this joy of learning and growing!
I see Lotus Blossom Style as a platform to empower one another to live our very own truth. I believe that as each one of us steps forward in our truth we will bring a deeper compassion and understanding of our human condition -- and that in itself I think can lead us closer to the possibility of some day having peace on earth.
In addition to running Lotus Blossom Style, I am a writer and editor specializing in women's issues, personal growth, healthy living, travel, spirituality and yoga. I am grateful to my family for their love and support through my often unpredictable journey.
