“The gift that you carry for others is not an attempt to save the world, but to fully belong to it. It is not possible to save the world by trying to save it. You need to find what is genuinely yours to offer the world before you can make it a better place. Discovering your unique gift to bring to your community is your greatest opportunity and challenge. The offering of that gift – your true self – is the most you can do to love and serve the world.”
— Plotkin, B. (2003). Soulcraft. p. 13.
 

Devoted Mother

Of all her accomplishments, Tracy is most proud to be a mother to her daughter, Sharon. As a single working mother, Tracy has been a parent, mentor, guide, teacher, homemaker, DIYer, school volunteer, landscaper, hostess, and the sole provider for the family. Beyond her warm heart and contagious smile, Sharon (left) is an award-winning fine artist and vocalist and a magna cum laude graduate of the Columbus College of Art & Design.

Gardener, Poet & Adventurer

In her spare time, Tracy can often be found gardening, writing poetry, or adventuring in forests, bookshops, and bakeries. She has a corgi named Finnley and two cats named River and Willow. She loves old black-and-white film noire and is in constant search of the perfect cinnamon roll.
