Handwriting & You!

Tannia Falconer​
Empowering Angels

Tannia Falconer was born in Mexico City on October 30th, 1973. Earthling, meditator, vegan, lover of life who loves to travel and a plant based cook with a collective mission. Certified in Plant Based Nutrition by the T.Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the eCornell University and Facilitator of The World Peace Diet.
Her mission is contributing to humanity by sharing a message of care and compassion towards all sentient beings (humans and Planet Earth included) in order to abolish oppression, to heal and regenerate Earth and our souls, through the reconnection of our inherent capacities to be compassionate, kind, loving and respectful of all forms of life, which were numbed after childhood by belief systems, education, upbringing and mass media.
Her vision is to see a humane humanity by recovering our connection and recognizing who we really are. She believes we can all contribute so that children maintain their innate connection, allowing for a generation of conscious humans to arise. She is guided by a deep reverence for life and the Ahimsā, principle of Nonviolence.
Speaks About

• I have always loved handwriting. It is a ritual. I have carried a notebook and a fountain pen since I was a teenager. I only choose notebooks that “smile” to me and my favorite colors of ink to fill my pen are turquoise, green and light blue.
  
• There is something magical about being able to express my own thoughts and feelings through symbols captured with ink in a piece of paper. Sometimes I go back to my notes and then I'm able to see how much I have grown or transformed, how my calligraphy has evolved, sometimes messy and others very neat and tidy.
  
• Writing and also reading maintain my brain active, healthy. I feel grateful to be able to handwrite amidst the digital age, when writing in a notebook has become an old-fashioned practice. I also feel fortunate and privileged to have the chance to speak and write in my native language, Spanish, as well as in English, my paternal grandmother language.
  
• Being able to write has opened many professional and personal doors for me. Like being part of the Empowering Angels, a group of women lead by Anthea Fenton. Together we have dared to write and tell our own stories. This has been a powerful process that brings healing, strengthening and self-awareness as well as connection to others through their stories. My life is definitely richer and happier due to this capacity that every human should have the chance to learn and hone.
