Overview


There is beauty here. In the ordinary. In the overlooked. In you. The Ordinary Woman in Me is a collection of poems that gently returns us to the moments we often rush past. The quiet morning, the shifting light, the unexpected feeling that lingers just a little longer than it should. Through reflections on everyday life, the natural world, and the act of writing itself, Tammy Douglas captures what it means to be human in all its imperfect, evolving beauty. These poems do not ask you to be extraordinary. They ask you to notice. Perfect for readers who love reflective, accessible poetry, this collection is both a companion and an invitation to slow down, feel more deeply, and rediscover the beauty already woven into your own life.
