Tracy Balzer writes and speaks with the hope of nudging others closer to intimacy with God. She is contemplative by nature, a certified spiritual director who is eager to listen to God and to others. Her discovery of the rich tradition of the early Celtic Christians feeds that enthusiasm for stillness and the appreciation of the beauty of creation, and she is nearly always in the middle of plans to lead a group of pilgrims to the British Isles. When she’s not writing or traveling, she is practicing calligraphy or playing with her four granddaughters.
