I’m Tracy Scantlebury.
I am a wife, mother of 4, carer, daughter, teacher and friend and I wear these hats with pride and privilege. A healthy dose of life’s frustrations, endurance and “what the heck!?” along the way keep me humble and grateful and the hat that keeps all the other hats firmly on my head is that of ‘child of God’ and it is by far my most definitive.
Music and dance, writing, quiet time, taking care of my health, movies, a good book, glass of wine, meal or a good cup of coffee (not in any particular preference order) as well as a good belly laugh with my husband of 27 years, children or friends are the details that bring joy to my life. In fact, in my book life is to be enjoyed but living life has taught me that the more value and joy you bring to others, the more you will experience yourself.
So, this blog, ‘As I was thinking’ is just that, the essence is in the title. The themes may be random, but will always be in my observation of the life we live. I hope you enjoy but more importantly feel heard, understood or valued by something you read.
