Author: Tana Mason

My name is Tana Mason, 40 years old, and was born in Moore, Oklahoma. Throughout most of my life I have lived in Moore, Oklahoma, but in my late 30’s that changed and decided to make a transition to the country. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in Administration that I received last year in hopes of being a parole/probation officer. I have one 20 year old son who is a professional gamer and in hopes of winning a million dollar tournament. I have a boyfriend who I have been dating for almost 5 years and who has been my love and support and I am glad we are a team. My number one thing I attend to accomplish before I die is finding my utopia and inner peace. Created in Honor of Tana, RIP 11/25/75 - 2/10/17

Putting Away Your High Heels

Sitting with some friends at a coffee shop one morning, I was reminded so much of what my life was 6 years ago. I was a city girl who worked over 40 plus hours a week with a job I hated, and I never used my college degree. I was so lost and didn’t know … Continue reading Putting Away Your High Heels →
