Hey everyone! I thought I’d try something new this week since I’ve been struggling to find the time to write. It’s a little video I experimented with while sitting near the boardwalk the other day. Please let me know what you think! Have a great week and may you be blessed… Tracy
Well, the vacation is officially over! You may have noticed that I didn’t post last week and that is because my work life is starting to take over again and I’m finding it challenging to keep up the daily spiritual and wellness practices that I put in place over the past few months of COVID 19. Even though it’s challenging, I’m more determined than ever to maintain a healthy balance, …
“What I really want is…” This is one of the suggested prompts from Chapter Two of the Born To Fly course I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks. For 15 minutes a day, over 6 consecutive days, I have been journaling with the intention of answering that one question. As I go back over my notes from those exercises, it’s bringing up a lot of emotion in my …
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1 “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19 Since last week’s post, we have come to learn about the tragic deaths of …
Today, I’m writing from my deck, overlooking Queen Street in The Beach Village (Toronto). It’s raining, but I’m sitting under a small covered area, watching the raindrops fall and listening to the sound of tires whispering and sighing as they roll along the saturated streets beneath me. I came out here because it was warmer than being inside. The A/C in our apartment is a bit too efficient and I …
A few months ago, I joined a meetup group for Christian entrepreneurs. This was before the COVID19 shutdown, while I was passionately investing my energy in developing a new business idea. Because this new venture kinda came out of nowhere, (more about that later) I couldn’t help but think that maybe God wanted me to take a new direction with my work. For those who don’t know my story, here’s …
Sitting down to write today is a bit of a struggle. As I continue to reflect on what really matters in this season and how God is using the current circumstances of my life to build my character, I realize that I’ve been feeling pretty vulnerable and unworthy. I’m doing my best to be honest with myself and transparent to God, while holding myself accountable to the values and priorities …
Last week I wrote (and shared) the first draft of My Personal Manifesto. I call it my first draft because I know I will be looking at it and refining it as time goes on. For now, however, it’s a good start. Looking forward to what my next steps might be and how I can remain accountable to the declarations I set out in my Manifesto, I feel an overwhelming …
Last week, we left off with me declaring that I was going to move forward with a “clean slate”, starting with clearing off my actual whiteboard, which was cluttered with useless lists and reminders. As it turns out, I didn’t clean it off as quickly as I intended to. For some reason, I had the feeling that there was something ‘more’ about to reveal itself. That turned out to be …
I learned a lot about myself this week. During my two hours of walking each day, I’ve been listening to podcasts, and lately, the ones I seem to be gravitating to the most are those which offer different perspectives on things. I mentioned last week that I was particularly impacted by one of Seth Godin’s Akimbo episodes… and that made me think of another person whose blog I used to …
