 My Story

​

My name is Tracey A. Mash. I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I went into the Navy in 1992 where I met my husband Donald of 30 years, who is a retired Navy Corpsman and we are both Navy veterans.

 

We currently live in La Vernia, Texas and have three amazing adult children, Odyssey and Cedric and daughter-in-love, Jo. We are also the grandparents to six AWESOME grandkids: Dyamond, JaQuay, Neriah, Kamrion, Carmelo, and Kadence.

 

I am an author and I have a handcrafted jewelry business called Tracey's Treasures LLC.

 

I wrote my first book Morning Glories in 2002, that is based on the true story about a Mom and her two daughters whose lives are turned upside-down when one of them reveals that they have cancer. Which dares to ask, can one question change a person's faith?

 

My second book, I LOVE ME SOME ME is inspired by an event that happened to my youngest granddaughter Kadence. Who at seven years old faced hurtful comments from other children while trying to play in a park. Highlighting the innocence of childhood where love knows no boundaries and acceptance is natural.

 

This story encourages both kids and adults alike to celebrate their differences. This is a heartwarming children's book about celebrating diversity and learning to love yourself.
