Tina is an Ultra talented and gifted poet with remarkable passion and determination to make impactful strides in the World through her craft and this is very evident in her strides in the world of Literature, especially in the genres of Poetry, where she has been able to make a credible mark and has a very devoted fanbase worldwide.

Today, we take an indepth journey into the world of Tina with excerpts below from Tina herself chronicling her come up story, that is both fascinating and very informative.

'Hello lovely readers! Are you as fascinated by the power of words as I am? Their ability to move people in love and solidarity, and to also incite heartache or fear, is fascinating to me. An eloquent writer or orator can truly impact change and foster emotions that support the wellbeing of others. Words can reach the deepest parts of our inner selves and connect people across generations, genders, social stratums and cultures. My name is Tina, otherwise known as TBella @mylife.inpoetry on Instagram, and a significant part of my life has been spent marveling at the power of words. I am a proud mother of two beautiful young adults, and a Canadian with strong Italian roots. Living in both Canada and Italy throughout the year, I love all things outdoors and spend much of my time hiking, skiing, practicing yoga and cooking with my love who found me much later in life, after I had the pleasure of finding myself.

I came to love poetry, plays and novels during my University life and carried this passion with me in my career as an educator. However, my love of writing was born out of a need to journal for my own mental health. Journaling was a private outlet that helped me understand myself and life events which were both full of love and pain. It was through journaling that I began writing poetry. I was so proud when the words just seemed to fit right, both artistically and emotionally, doing more to alleviate the weight I was carrying.

Deconstructing poetry from greats like Shakespeare, Atwood, Angelou, Heaney, and Cummings, was a love that never tired me. However, I wanted more and decided to challenge myself by adding creative writing classes to my teaching repertoire. It was here where I learned the most. Even my University English courses couldn’t have prepared me the way my students did. It was through collaborations with them and learning alongside their uniqueness that I truly became a lover of writing.

I began to chronicle my travel excursions, prose pieces that I would post on Facebook in hopes of helping my readers visualize the sights I was blessed to witness. I would endeavor to entertain while also advising them on what not to miss while visiting these amazing places. The feedback I received there gave me the confidence to get even more creative, and I started writing travel posts as short vignettes and poems instead.

When I finally retired from teaching, I thought it was time to dedicate myself to improving my craft, while at the same time helping people through life challenges. I felt I had something to contribute in the way of art, but also in the way of mental health support. By using my own life experiences, I would attempt to help others recognize they are not alone in their pain and that there is someone here who understands. I also hope to inspire others to write their story and recognize the healing power of words by putting pen to paper and allowing the magic to flow through them. My poems and captions on instagram are an attempt to fulfill that mandate. I also want to be a positive role model to my children, demonstrating how we should always find ways to serve others with our gifts. I hope to one day publish my own collection and leave them with a written record of their mother’s words and how she lived a full life while always trying to do good in the world'.
