The following is this morning’s Facebook post by a dear friend of mine. It inspired me to get out of bed and finish the blog post I’ve been “processing” for over 3 weeks. It says it all: “Here’s the truth. The truth never dies. The truth lives on and finds you. And does indeed set you free. To live a lie is to die inside. To live the truth is to know …
The Paradox of Tracy
I’m not gonna lie… I went down the rabbit hole last week. I had been riding the wave, being “in spirit”, manifesting miracles, sending vulnerable, validating letters and having perspective-altering realizations and then POOF! Sometime on Thursday afternoon, a fearful thought grabbed hold of me and down I went. I tried everything but nothing could shake it. It made me miserable and discouraged and angry at the universe, as if …
The Courage to Surrender
While that title might seem like an oxymoron, it is precisely the message I have been hearing loud and clear over the past few days. When we left off with last week’s article “Manifesting Miracles”, I had been noticing how important it is to stay in the energy of Miracles. But Miracles can come in many forms and they often don’t come easily. In fact, the reason why so many …
Manifesting Miracles
After my whirlwind trip to New Orleans last week, I’m happy to say that this week has been pleasantly calm, relatively uneventful and a much needed respite from the high energy events of the previous week. As is often the case when I return home from being away, I needed some down time to process everything I had experienced. Unfortunately, that also included a bit of a “shame hangover” from having …
Will the Real Tracy B Richards Please Stand Up
This is a long post, folks. Just sayin’… Here I am, sitting in the departures terminal at Louis B. Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana. I’ve been here almost a week, after a last-minute decision to attend the Imago Relationships Conference. I had planned to come all along but flights were too expensive, however the universe intervened and, voila! Off I went! The past 7 days have been a …
Tracy Meets A Man
For the past three weeks I have experimented with using my name as part of the title of my blog (Tracy Gets Angry, Tracy Gets Sick, Tracy Lets Go) And as I stood in the shower this morning, thinking about what I would write about today and whether I should go back to a “regular” title, I realized that I’m beginning to worry that writing this blog is way too …
What Tracy Wants
Before I go on to the theme of this week’s post, I want to say a few things about some feedback I received in response to “Tracy Meets a Man”. As the process of writing this blog evolves and as I continue to be as open and authentic as I can, I was happy to hear from a reader (who is also an experienced blogger) who had some very savvy …
Tracy Lets Go
Greetings, Soul-Mates! May I call you that? I hope so, because that is how I feel about the people I am connecting with via this blog. You are all such truly lovely and compassionate people and I feel blessed to be getting to know each of you better (even those of you whom I have known for most of my life). To be honest, I was not prepared for the …
Tracy Gets Sick
After last week’s blog article, “Tracy Gets Angry”, and my insights about why, in that moment, my sister, Rory, was the “safest person on the planet”, I decided this week’s blog would further explore the topic of “Safety” and be titled “Safety is Everything” (because it is). However, if you are a Facebook friend of mine, you may have seen this morning’s (Tuesday’s) post that said: “Sick in bed on …
Tracy Gets Angry
First, I’d like to offer a heartfelt “Thank You’ to all of the people who took the time to reach out and tell me how much they enjoyed last week’s blog post, “Giving Myself the Gift of Creativity”, as well as my 4-minute music-video memoir, “A Perfect Blessing”. It is so gratifying to know that so many people are able to relate to what I write (or create) and I’m …
