Celebrating Pride with Style

June 28, 2020 By Traci

pride, pride month, fashion, dvf, wrap dress, thrift

June is the month honoring LBGTQ rights. On June 15th, we made a big step forward with the courts. An employer can no longer discriminate against you for who you love.⁣

On June 12, 1967, the Supreme Court ruled that race and color could no longer dictate who you may love creating Loving Day (named after the couple; yes, their name was Loving!)

It’s Not You, It’s Me.

June 26, 2020 By Traci

When I ask you to wear a mask, it’s not for you, it’s for me. ⁣ This is me a few weeks ago when I had to be tested for COVID. I was sick. I was tired. I was scared. Fortunately, I was negative.⁣⁣Yes, it is America and you still have rights, but please understand…

Eating After 7 PM – Time to Eat

June 16, 2020 By Traci

cooking, diet, health, JoelMarion, #AlwaysEatAfter7PM, #AlwaysEatBook, #BioTrust

I chose this journey for its flexibility and an acceptance of what I could and would do in my real life, not some candy-colored fake life wherein I wear white without stains and never have roots and am IG ready at all times.

Writing Every Day in May — Day 12: What I Miss

May 12, 2013 By Traci

I am a “look forward” kind of girl so I don’t focus much on what I miss. But that doesn’t mean there are no holes in my heart. First, and foremost, I miss my brother. He died in 1995 at the age of 20 and there is not a day that I don’t think of…

Sliding Doors, Revisited

April 21, 2011 By Traci

Back when I was 38 and Growing, I examined my need to play “What If?”, otherwise known as Traci’s Sliding Doors game. This is not the healthiest of games, as I noted but as time has passed, I have begun to play it a little better. It is easy to play “what if?” when you…

I Could Have Danced All Night…

June 26, 2011 By Traci

So I auditioned today. In fact, it is my third audition in as many weeks. Which has been great. But today was something special. I don’t know if I will get the role or not but it felt amazing. It was electrifying and reminded of why I became an actress in the first place. I brought my…
