Hello! My name is Tracy and I am a 30 year old stay at home mother of two children, ages 28 months and 8 months. Before I gave birth to my daughter, I was a social worker for a homeless agency.  I provided basic case management as well as mental health and addictions treatment. I received an MSW and prior to this education, I worked in the Senate for a year. I earned a BA in English with a focus on creative writing and graduated in 1997. I have a passion for books and reading. I would feel very comfortable being physically surrounded by books at all times, though my husband might term this "clutter." I love to write and have kept a journal for years and prefer to write short stories of fiction over longer pieces as I don't have the attention span for anything of much length...
