“Loving Tiara is the kind of memoir that both breaks your heart and fills it up with hope and inspiration. Tiffani Goff is a fierce and faithful mother who is determined to give her daughter a good life. Her story shows us how a family can overcome extraordinary obstacles, and how a mom can be a superhero.” Candi Sary, author of Black Crow White Lie

“Beautiful, raw, authentic, tragic, and an incredibly precious read…”

“This memoir, when once finished, there is no looking back. After having the privilege of being part of this family’s day-to-day life, I wanted my experience to be never-ending. This story rapidly became essential food for my soul, allowing me to savor every “bite” with each page. Tiara’s life is the thread of the memoir, however never do the others become blurred. This is truth, without excuses, explanations, or regrets. What a distinguished way to experience life on life’s terms. Thank you, Tiffani! I have never been able to have children, however, those three beautiful girls were mine as long as the story went on. Give yourself the gift of this read, it will be with you for a very long time.” Verified Amazon Customer, 12/10/2020

” Five stars isn’t enough!”

” Wow, definitely gives perspective to those caring for special needs children. Tiffani is the definition of sacrifice, dedication, and unconditional love while taking care of her daughter, Tiara. Thank you tiffani for sharing Tiara with us.” Verified Amazon Customer 12/30/2020

Prologue from Loving Tiara:

I can never find the quiet. I know that someday this will end and I will have plenty of quiet time, but right now I can’t imagine that being my reality. Someone always needs me.

Most days I just hope to survive until she falls asleep. I constantly ask God, the universe, whoever can hear my thoughts, to give me the strength to carry on. It’s the mantra that plays in my head all day long until she falls asleep at night, and then I say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” with a huge sigh of relief. I survived another day.

I always wonder how I find the strength to keep going. Everyone in my family and inner circle are shocked that I keep doing what I’m doing. Some have begged me to stop, find another way, or have her placed outside the home, for they fear she will eventually kill me. I refuse to listen to them or entertain their suggestions, because I know in my heart, being her caretaker won’t last forever. I’m meant to be her caretaker for her entire life, and no one can stop me from doing otherwise.

I often wonder how I can love, more than life itself, the person who abuses me daily. Why do I crave her kisses, her bear hugs, and her contagious smiles, when I know she will suddenly lash out at me without any warning?

I would rather die taking care of her than give up on her. I am her mother, her voice, her strength her advocate, and her biggest fan. I am also a wife and a mother to my two other beautiful girls. They all need me to be strong, so they can pretend our lives are “normal.” Even when I feel like dying inside, I carry on, because that is who I am. This is the story of loving Tiara.

My first dog bite!

Feb. 21, 2020

To be honest I was going to skip posting today because I was busy taking care of Tabitha’s dog, working on the Comedy for a Cure auction and other errands. I decided to go for a walk at 5:30 pm instead of writing a post because I have really been enjoying how beautiful it is…

Have I been grumpy?

Feb. 14, 2020

Apparently I have been grumpy and very uptight according to my sweet husband, Lou. I’m not sure if I totally believe him or not BUT when your significant other of almost 28 years makes a declaration about your mood, I have learned to listen, ponder and consider the thought that he might be right. This…

Did I fail?

Feb. 07, 2020

Last Saturday was my first official book signing and if you judged the event by the number of books I sold, signed or new people I met, it was a complete and total flop!!! Who showed up? My Family. Tabitha, Trinity, Chandler, Sophia (Trinity’s friend), Grandma Cindy and my best friend Laura. Lou was working…

Are you there God?

Jan. 31, 2020

If ever there is a time to question one’s faith it’s when tragedy strikes. Over the past few days, I imagine people all over the world have asked God the same question over and over again. “God, why did you let those nine people die in a helicopter crash? Why didn’t you save them? How…

Are you afraid to talk about dying?

Jan. 23, 2020

This is a very taboo subject but I think about it almost daily when I browse my social media feeds. I don’t consider myself a morose person, but death is something I think about often because it is everywhere. You can’t watch the news, listen to the radio or browse social media without hearing about…

It’s been 5 years since she went to Heaven…

Jan. 17, 2020

Wednesday, January 15 was the five year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. Every year I do the same thing on January 15. I have the 8:00 am mass said in her honor which I attend, I visit her grave and then I mope around. This year was a little different. I called the church office two…

Why I’m no longer a home stager…

Oct. 16, 2019

It’s so funny, but I forget you all can’t read my mind. I have been mostly absent from social media and when I posted on facebook yesterday, I was selling my twig decor inventory, I received several messages asking me why. I realized I forgot to tell everyone but my family and close friends what…

Am I the happiest person you know?

Sep. 04, 2019

Are you wondering why I’m asking you this ridiculous question? This is why: A few weeks ago I was attending a concert in my church because they were unveiling the new organ. Apparently, our old organ was like a 1976 beat-up Toyota and the new organ is similar to a 2020 Porsche and our priest…

And now the real work begins!

Aug. 14, 2019

I finished the first draft of my book a week ago and I felt so jubilant, I was walking around with a spring in my step and a huge smile. Now I get to start the editing process! I get the feeling that finishing the first draft is just the beginning of the work? I…

I guess I’m close to finishing the first draft….

Aug. 05, 2019

Lou and I were on a bike ride to the beach the other day when he asked me how far I was along in writing my book. Well, “I was at 230 pages when I was typing it in Word but I just started typing it in Google Docs. I copied it over to Google…

Recent Interview

Who is tiffani?

Mom, Wife, author of Loving Tiara, retired home stager, and chronic volunteer. I laugh when I'm happy, nervous, or stressed, so basically, I'm always laughing, and you can hear me from down the block if the windows are open. I love to swear even though it isn't ladylike, and I'm brutally honest, but in a super nice way, or so I think? I tend to roll my eyes, and apparently, my face is very expressive because even when I don't open my mouth, everyone knows what I'm thinking. My hubby and I are homebodies; I'm obsessed with always doing the "right thing " and taking care of my skin. I love learning, am always trying to evolve as a human being, and am a bit of a perfectionist. Let's have some fun! xoxo tiffani
