About Tracie

From Tracie is a letter from my heart to the hearts of those struggling to recover, forgive, and move on after life has left them wounded. It is also a letter filled with the laughter and joy of life because laughter truly is the best medicine! I write about my life - the joys, the pains, and everything in between.


I am married to a wonderful husband named Thomas who provides no shortage of blogging material.  We had three very different weddings (to each other!) I homeschool our daughter, Katarina, who is seven years old. We all like to wear fun shoes.  

We live in Florida, but I don't go to the beach every day and neither of us work at Disney (because I knew you were going to ask that!)  I'm 1/2 Canadian, on my Mother's side, and I am proud to be part of the first American generation of my immigrant family. 

I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.  Even though that doesn't define who I am, it changed the direction of my life. I volunteer with an inspiring group of survivors who are committed to healing and leading joyful lives.

I am a follower of Jesus. Worship is like fresh breath to me.

You will often find me singing, and sometimes dancing!

I love getting crafty.  I taught myself how to knit, and then started knitting squares to send to Africa.  Cross-stitching.  Jewelry making.  Photography (especially pictures of Yellow Joy).  My dream is to buy a lathe! (shhh...don't tell Thomas)

One time I learned how to speak elvish

I love to read, watch movies (and complain about all the ways they aren't like the book) and watch classic television.
