Welcome to My Heartfelt Living
Hi, I’m Tiffany Johnson, and I’m so excited you’re here. I’m a 41-year-old Oklahoma girl through and through, born and raised in the beautiful city of Tulsa. I’ve built a life I’m proud of as one of the top 100 realtors in the area, but my journey has been about so much more than business. This blog, My Heartfelt Living, is my passion project—a place where I can share everything I’ve learned, from the joyous to the painful, and inspire others to embrace the beauty of life, no matter the challenges.
This is your invitation to join me on a heartfelt journey filled with stories, tips, and experiences. Together, we’ll dive into travel, food, faith, home, and so much more. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, a little motivation, or just a moment to laugh and connect, I hope you’ll find it here.
Why I Started This Blog
Life has a funny way of shaping us, doesn’t it? The idea for this blog didn’t just pop up overnight—it’s been years in the making, born out of life’s ups and downs. Like many of you, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges.
In 2015, my life changed forever when I lost my mom to breast cancer. She was my rock, my confidante, and the most incredible woman I’ve ever known. Watching her battle that terrible disease was heartbreaking, but it also gave me a deeper appreciation for the strength and resilience we can find within ourselves. Losing her was a wake-up call for me—it made me realize just how short and precious life is.
In 2022, I was faced with my own diagnosis: cervical cancer. Hearing those words was one of the scariest and most surreal moments of my life. Suddenly, I was thrust into a whirlwind of doctor visits, treatments, and the kind of fear that takes your breath away. But with the support of amazing friends, a wonderful medical team, and my growing faith in God, I made it through. That experience taught me so much about the importance of health, community, and trusting in a higher power.
And let’s not forget about the curveballs life throws our way in the form of heartbreak. Five years ago, I went through a tough breakup that left me questioning my place in the world. It was one of those moments where everything feels like it’s crumbling around you. But through that pain, I found my way back to myself. With the help of my incredible friends, I rediscovered my strength and rebuilt my life, stronger and more joyful than ever before.
A Life of Joy, Growth, and Purpose
If there’s one thing all these experiences have taught me, it’s this: life is meant to be lived fully. We’re not here to just survive or go through the motions. We’re here to find joy, to connect, to grow, and to leave the world a little better than we found it.
That’s what My Heartfelt Living is all about. It’s a space where I can share the lessons I’ve learned, the tips and tricks that have helped me along the way, and the little moments that make life so beautiful.
What You’ll Find Here
So, what can you expect from this blog? Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come:
1. Travel Inspiration:
Travel has always been a huge part of my life. Whether I’m exploring a hidden gem here in Oklahoma or jetting off to a faraway destination, I’m constantly in awe of the beauty and diversity this world has to offer. I’ll be sharing tips for solo travel, traveling with friends or partners, and my favorite destinations, hotels, and experiences. If you’re craving adventure but don’t know where to start, I’ve got you covered.
2. Healthy Living:
After my cancer diagnosis, I had to completely rethink my approach to food and health. I’ve met with countless doctors, nutritionists, and wellness experts who’ve taught me the importance of nourishing the body with real, wholesome food. Now, I love cooking healthy meals that are as delicious as they are good for you. I’ll be sharing recipes, nutrition tips, and everything I’ve learned about healing through food.
3. Faith and Spiritual Growth:
Finding my faith in Christ has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s not something that happened overnight—it’s been a slow, steady journey of learning to trust Him and seek His guidance. I’ll share stories of how my faith has grown, the challenges I’ve faced along the way, and how leaning on God has helped me navigate life’s hardest moments.
4. Home and Lifestyle:
As a realtor, I have a deep love for all things home. But for me, a home is more than just a place—it’s a feeling. I’ll be sharing tips for creating a space that feels warm, inviting, and uniquely you. From gardening and home decor to entertaining and hosting unforgettable gatherings, I’ll show you how to make your house a true sanctuary.
5. Life Stories and Lessons:
Let’s face it—life is full of hilarious, heartwarming, and downright weird moments. I’ll be sharing personal stories about my friends, my adventures, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Sometimes they’ll make you laugh, sometimes they’ll make you cry, but they’ll always come from the heart.
Why This Matters
We’re only here for a short time, and I believe we owe it to ourselves to make the most of it. Life is too short to stay stuck in the mundane or let fear hold us back. It’s about finding joy in the little things, whether it’s cooking a meal for your family, watching a sunrise, or sharing a laugh with friends.
I hope that this blog becomes a source of inspiration for you—a place where you can come to learn, laugh, and feel a little more connected to the beauty of life.
