- About Me and My Book:
- I believe the best way to learn about me is through my personal vision and mission statement, which I authored in January 1996.
For Myself: Using my gift of creativity and imagination, I will continue to invent the future by expressing my visions courageously in words and actions. I will always be a professional – honoring integrity, justice, kindness, and will always be humble and have a sense of humor in everything I do.
For My Family: They are my treasure. I will always promote and take the lead in building healthy and loving relationships that allow each of us to become our best selves.
For My Professional Life: I will always create a learning environment that is fair and honest, which can cultivate and inspire others to greatness and success by acting as a catalyst in a shared vision.
For My Community: I am committed to enriching the lives of all who cross my path by sharing my fellowship, and by respecting their very own unique selves. I will always nurture the development of all life forms in harmony with the laws of nature.
I will always live my life with a Universal Balance, with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, peaceful and confident, always living to learn, to love, and to leave a legacy.
In 2001, I left a successful career as the Chief Operating Officer of a major company to pursue a life-long dream of owning my own business. I launched Batik World® and started selling exotic Malaysian Batik ™ fabrics to the apparel and fashion accessories industry.
In the spring of 2003, I started another company, The Reyna Collection® to market Tribal Artifacts from exotic Borneo, focusing on the interior design and home décor industries. Today, it is a premier multi-line resource group located in Dallas, Texas, representing seven major companies and manufacturers with product lines ranging from architectural antiques, furniture made from natural fibers, handmade decorative lighting, bronze statuary and sculptures, fine porcelain, certified “Green” furniture from Brazil, and architecturally sculptured custom water features.
In April 2007, after being inspired and encouraged by my various “moms,” I began a new project – a book titled, “From My Mama’s Kitchen – food for the soul, recipes for living.” This book is currently available at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. My book is endorsed by the National Association of Mothers' Centers.
A book of insights, it is about my relationships with my adopted mom in Malaysia and with eight other women in the United States whom I refer to as my other moms. I begin in the kitchen, which is highlighted as a one-of-a-kind classroom where these women (my nine moms) become aware of both the challenges and rewards of life, and where they discover themselves – their strengths, weaknesses, creativity, and private sanctuary.
Just as women’s lives expand to encompass far more than the kitchen, so does my book. I show how these women continue to embrace the roles of teacher, coach, and counselor for their loved ones while continuously working on their own personal goals, challenges, and refinements.
I share their timeless loving wisdom that makes such a positive difference in my life and the lives of those they love. Finally, in the normal cycle of the human life, each one of us will eventually become our parent’s parent, and this is where “we come to a full circle by fulfilling the synergy of family oneness.”
In a nutshell: I have been very fortunate over the years to have the opportunity to cross paths with several wonderful women whom I am proud to call mom that became my "team of counsel." They have helped me at various points in my life to decode the many mysteries and challenges of everyday living. Their unconditional love and support have helped me to continue to succeed in all areas of my life.
Finally, please check out my From My Mama’s Kitchen Talk Radio Show (www.FMMKTalkRadio.com) where you can listen live and have an opportunity to call in as a participating listener or to request to be a guest on the show.
For updates on current happenings please visit my blog – www.johnnytan.com. I look forward to receiving all constructive comments.
Have a wonderful day. :)

"Home for the Holidays" - A Celebration of the Heart with a Gift from the Soul!
Some of us already realize this, and others will experience it for the first time: The kitchen will be the most important room in the house in the coming weeks.
Regardless of whether it is a modern-day designer’s kitchen or just one of the so-called “timeless” efficiency kitchens, it is time for it to claim center stage, as it will serve as the hub for the transformational loving energy that will bind families and friends alike during this holiday season.

Being present in the present moment
Sometimes in our busy lives we tend to forget to focus on the present moment. Our minds tend to drift ahead of us, thinking far off into the future with the, what ifs. At other times we are caught up with reminiscing events of the past. If it is a good reflection then we always wish we could replay it over again and again, but if it is a bad memory—we tend to be weighed down with disappointments.
If we are not careful we may miss the opportunity of enjoying today. To ensure that this does not h… Continue
