Did Your Circumstances Ever Lie to You?


No one plans to be unemployed for more than two years, nor to go without a consistent means of income for more than a year. Nevertheless, that’s my story.

Never Accept Trash Talk


Traci Lawrence is an author, freelance editor, blogger and substitute teacher.  Her main focus and true passion is self-acceptance.  

Her book, Accept No Trash Talk: Overcoming the Odds, is a self-help book about overcoming the effects of disrespectful communication; bullying.

Traci was mercilessly bullied throughout her school years because of her height and religion.

Instead of allowing those harsh words to destroy her, Traci used that strength she earned to write a book, helping others who may be suffering the same way.
