Tracy Todd began writing fiction stories at age eight, binding the pages with string to create “books”.  Her love of writing continued with personal dream journals.  She chronicled more than forty years of dreams, with spiritual and symbolic interpretations, drawing heavily on her own intuition and the wisdom of mystical dream interpreter, Ann Ree Colton, of the Ann Ree Colton Foundation of Niscience, Inc.  These journals portray her life within a framework of spiritual growth and personal life lessons.

Tracy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Indiana University in 1980, then sharpened her writing skills with four years of correspondence writing courses with The Institute of Children’s Literature.  Highly praised by her instructors, she excelled in writing nonfiction articles for young readers and was published by Children’s Digest magazine in 1985.  Tracy’s personal library reflects a lifelong search for the commonalities and threads of shared spiritual truths within different religions, philosophies and modes of thought. 

Today, Tracy writes free-flow inspirational poetry, speaking to the Soul about common human themes from a fresh and unifying perspective.  Her first poem, entitled “The Human Dichotomy”, was taken directly from her own journals and flowed from her subconscious mind without analytical effort.  She also enjoys writing Haiku poetry in the traditional Japanese 5-7-5 syllable format and humorous writing about events in her own life.

In addition to the written word, Tracy has experienced her world behind the lens of a camera since her father gave her an old bulky camera at age twelve.  Her lifelong interest became a passion with the simple purchase of a good digital camera.  An eye for unusual detail and natural ability for composition produce unique images of the raw beauty of her own artist community of Brown County, Indiana.
