About

My name is Tracy, but you can call me Tee.

I am an American stay-at-home-mother of 2 boys and married to a hardworking, faithful (but sometimes hot tempered) Latino named Carlos.

We have two boys together - Nick, 9 years old and Julian, 6 years old. I try not to label them as they are ever changing in personality and interests. In general they are both smart, curious and kind - and for that I’m grateful.

My hostile mother-in-law also used to live with us, so there is much about that, (and other various house guests) in the archives.

I have an inquisitive mind and a passionate heart. I struggle with my faith and my place in this world, among other things. I’m a lover of books, culture and language as well as an aspiring writer.

I tend to seek the good in almost everything. I believe in personal responsibility, striving for moral authority, grassroots movements, that knowledge is power, paying it forward, walking in another man’s shoes, finding perspective, counting blessings, random acts of kindness, synchronicity, change, hope, peace, unity, art & music, education, inspiration, compassion and love.

I believe that one song, one book, one smile, one speech, one good deed, one hug, can change the entire trajectory of a person’s life and ultimately the whole universe.

At this point in my life I am learning to love myself for who I am, exploring the world, raising my children and trying not to feel guilty for the mistakes I make along the way. I hope I inspire others to do the same.
