Still Standing.
Still Healing.
Still Here.
Hi - I’m Tracy.
In October 2022, I survived a head-on collision with a semi-truck — an impact that by all logic, statistics, and medical expectation, I shouldn’t have survived. This site began as a way to keep loved ones updated through emergency surgeries and uncertainty — a lifeline in the middle of crisis.
Over time, it has become something deeper: a living record of long-term healing, advocacy, reflection, and the slow, ongoing work of navigating life after trauma. The journey is imperfect, evolving, and continually reshaped — and this space has grown along with me.
I’m grateful you’re here.
If you’re new here
This space was born out of crisis — a place to share updates when everything was uncertain. As the years have unfolded, it has shifted into a home for my writing, medical updates, creative projects, and the quieter in-between moments that shape long-term recovery and life after trauma.
Here’s a quick guide to help you get oriented:
ABOUT: The backstory and who I am beyond the accident.
BLOG: Ongoing updates about surgeries, healing, logistics, and life as it happens.
LEARNINGS: Reflections and themes that have emerged across the last three years.
HOW TO HELP: Current ways people can support my healing and my work.
PHOTOS: Visual glimpses of the journey, from the early days to now.

As a family friend said upon learning of Tracy’s survival, “she still has work in our universe… a bright beautiful star.”
