Currently Workbooks by Tracy Benjamin

I sold out of Currently Workbooks and I’ve had requests for more to come to the shop. They’re on order and should arrive by the end of the month. I’ll alert you when they’re back in. If you want to get started on it, you can download a digital copy. That way, you can do it on your own terms!  I am so excited to see how this art practice helps your life this year. Thanks so much for your support.

My Everyday Life: Week 3

My Everyday Life Week 3- Here’s what this past week looked like:

This week, I prepped for my Self Check In 2026 workshop on Zoom! 

We made lists together, processed 2025, and set our Intentions for 2026.

self check in with TRACY!

I also shared how choosing a word for the year can change how the year unfolds.

In the process, I looked over all of the times I tracked workouts in 2025 using my monthly template.
