The World Through My Eyes

When Your Mother Calls You Home readers have been asking great questions about the experiences, people, places, flora, & fauna I encountered. The most common request I receive is for photos. So, thanks for the great idea! I just created companion albums for each book chapter and they’re live here: https://www.tracieball.com/projects-8

These are my personal memories, primarily from my mobile phone, with a few from friends and teachers in the mix. I hope this will help you better see the world through my eyes... not just through my words.

Happy New Year!

Calling All Book Clubs!

I have been so surprised by the conversations I have had with readers. I have received insightful feedback and thought provoking questions. And it seems everyone wants to know if I still talk to Morris (yes) and single gals want to know... What happened to Gio?!? Let's keep the convesation going! For a limited time, book clubs or reading groups of 7 or more that plan to read When Your Mother Calls You Home between now and February 2026, can request a one hour Q&A session with me via Zoom to discuss the book.

COMING OUT OF THE [SPIRITUAL] CLOSET

The first snow has arrived and dusted the peaks of the mountains that frame my view. And here, below, in the foothills of the Cascades, the leaves are putting on a colorful show.

It is a time of transitions and I am in transition too.

In less than two weeks, on November 1st, When Your Mother Calls You Home will officially launch and my private journal entries and personal experiences will be in the hands of others. In the pages of this book, I share things that, until now, only a few have known.

A year ago, around this time, I met a woman named Nadja at a party hosted by mutual friends. The instant we met, we created our own little world in a comfy sofa and immediately found ourselves deep in an engaging conversation about "awakening," alignment, psychic phenomena and near death experiences. Nadja asked, "Have you had a near death experience?"

Yes.

After sharing my experience, Nadja explained she was in the process of recording stories like mine for her podcast, The WakeUp Protocol, and asked if I would be willing to join as a future guest. Our meeting was synchronous and the timing was Divine. I was more than halfway through the writing of my book and had just finished putting my near-death experience into words. I was also asking myself deeper questions like, "Am I meant to share this?"  So when this opportunity came to me, I took it as a sign I was meant to face my fears, embrace the vulnerability head on, and keep going.

In July of this year, I joined Nadja Haldimann for a discussion about my experience of death, my time on the other side, and the life-changing aftereffects. Our conversation was a significant moment for me as it marked stepping out of the "spiritual closet."

The episode is live today and I hope you will listen and support Nadja's efforts by clicking the "follow" button and subscribing. You can find The WakeUp Protocol streaming on:
