Tracy's Profile | Work It, Mom!

My tags:: mom, wife, empty-nesting, new career prospects
About me:: I have a bachelor's degree in the field of Speech and Language Pathology. I am not working as a Speech/Language Pathologist at present; due to the fact that I have not obtained the required Master's degree. I was a foster parent for 8 years. I cared for 12 of the children who were wards of the state. Some of the children stayed with us for respite care only; which was very short-term. The 2 daughers I cared for longest are the two I have listed ages for above; as I have no biological children of my own. One of the girls actually remained in our lives through the years, and became an integral part of my life; and our family. She is our beloved daughter in every sense of the word.
My interests:: I love outdoor festivals during the summer months. During winter, I love to create new ideas for our home decor', and walking/playing in snow. I also enjoy crafts during the winter months. I always enjoy movies, cooking, writing, reading, & shopping.
My website/blog:: http://tracethis.eponym.com
How I de-stress:: A warm bath; spending time at the wellness center; going to a movie alone, and sitting in the very top row, in the back of the theater, with my popcorn and drink all to myself.
Best advice I've gotten:: Don't sweat the small stuff!
Adjective to describe me:: sincere
My favorite movie:: Shawshank Redemption

Currently on my Life Wish List:

I wish to travel; oh how I want to travel more.
Goals I am working on:

I have been hired as a peer support specialist within the mental health system in my community. I will be leaving home on December 9th for two weeks to train for my new job. I'm looking forward to the break as well as the training.
Projects I am working on:

I am very slowly working on getting pictures organized for scrapbooking. I say slowly because I have to be in the mood for the craft.

I am also working on getting the weight off. Yay! I want to lose weight and feel better. A new eating plan is in effect...

Hi, Tracy!
I am the co-founder of Work It, Mom! and just wanted to say welcome! Your suggestion about using cucumber slices to reduce puffy eyes is now on my list to try next, by the way! (Cremes and such don't seem to work well...) I look forward to learning more about you and hope to see you here often!
