Tracy Boyce
Putting Pieces Together
September 24, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Besides being a single mother raising four kids, Tracy Boyce’s full time job is a feng shui practitioner.
Originally an accountant, Tracy never knew something like feng shui existed. The seeds for her profession were planted after receiving a home consultation twelve years ago, and were sowed once a divorce became eminent.
With a settlement that barely covered the mortgage, Tracy decided that her part time feng shui practice did not have enough of a steady income to support a family. Falling back on a part time bookkeeping position to pay bills, she found that her time was being consumed by calculations, and not by color coordination.
Overwhelmed and overworked, Tracy walked into her boss’s office one day and requested that she be compensated fairly for the extra workload she was assuming. The next day she was a full time feng shui consultant, fired from her bookkeeping job.

This is such an awesome story! Hats off to you Tracy. In some ways our stories parallel. I am an interior designer and I love my work. A divorce too prompted my saturation in something I was only doing as a hobby for many years. I am currently helping a friend of mine get started in the design business. She was a lawyer for many years. People question why she would suffer through law school and start a law practice only to leave it to start an entirely different career. It is, as you suggest, her “path”! Continued success sto you. Wish you were closer, I could use a good feng shui consultant!

Its an amazing story and you deserve congratulations and respect for making such a successful change of careers. You persued your passion…too many people are stuck in jobs that they don’t enjoy but you are an inspiration for anyone who reads your bio…and your photo is impressive too! It would be interesting to learn more about Feng Shui…you seem to express yourself very well - perhaps there may be a book in the works?

Your experience is such a great example of strenghs and smarts for women of any age. I think it would be great to have a television show that
talks about all of this and shows an audience exactly how Feng Shui works!

It has been a transformative journey for you that keeps on inspiring others to embrace what is possible by being your passion, Tracy, and adopting a “stick to it-ness” approach to transforming your world and family. I still remember your announcing of your possibility of being the “CEO” of your family and your life. From this interview and your fabulous website, I would say you are “there”…bringing together the sacred healing, cleansing and energizing powers of Feng Shui into peoples’ homes and lives!!! Kudos to you.
