I'm Tracey Dowdy
What can I write for you?
As a lifelong lover of words written, spoken, or sung, I realized that not only did I want to tell stories, but that I wanted to help others tell their stories as well. My writing style is fluid – I can be academic and precise or conversational and engaging – it depends on the needs of my client. I’ve covered events on Capitol Hill and written for magazines, but I’ve also covered dog shows and written faith-based content for churches. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to learn more about me and my work.

GenZ’s Thoughts on Entering the Workforce
July 2019
Would you rather be unemployed or work at a job you hate? Is doing something innovative in your job more important than the level of compensation you receive? Do you believe technology is changing the job market for the better and creating new opportunities?
Your response to those questions depends heavily on one crucial factor – your age, specifically, whether or not you’re a member of Gen Z – those born between 1995 and 2015. Microsoft and YouGov recently polled 754 students aged 17-25 to gain insight and a deeper understanding into how Gen Z feels about entering the workforce, their expectations for employers, and how technology will impact their career paths and the results may surprise you.
Coming Back From Burnout
September 2018
When we first started out in ministry, my husband and I worked under a pastor in his mid-sixties who intended to “die in the pulpit.” He’d frequently say, “I’d rather rust out than burn out!” Frankly, neither of those options sounded particularly appealing then, and now, after nearly thirty years in ministry, they seem even less so. Surely those aren’t the only two options.
Fast forward twenty years to when my husband and I planted a church outside Toronto. I dare you to find two people who poured more heart and soul into a ministry. It. Was. Exhausting. After three years, we were done. It’s a complicated story that deserves more than a mention in a post about burnout, but suffice to say, at the end of the three years, we were drained of money, energy, passion, and ideas. We made the decision to merge with another ministry and moved on. In theory.
Moving on, in this context, doesn’t mean “getting over” any more than it does in relationships. Surrendering a ministry we had poured our heart and soul – never mind personal finances – into felt more like a death than simply moving on to the next chapter.
It’s been five years, and this is what I’ve learned.
Technologies Transforming the Plumbing Business
January, 2020
In the continuously evolving plumbing industry, technological advancements over the past five to ten years have become an integral part of how plumbing professionals do business. Innovations like smart pipes that let consumers know when there's a leak, tankless water heaters, and even LED lights in toilet bowls have transformed the industry for both consumers and industry professionals. Alongside their pipe cutters, spanners, and drain rods, today's successful plumbers are using tablets and waterproof cameras to provide services that exceed their customers' expectations.
