Author Traci Keck’s New Book, “Choosing Peace Devotionals,” is a Collection of Daily Devotionals to Help Inspire Hope and Love to Carry Readers Through Life’s Challenges
Kansas City, MO, April 10, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Traci Keck, an author who wears many hats, including wife, mother, sister, aunt, business owner, volunteer, and housekeeper, has completed her new book, “Choosing Peace Devotionals”: a stirring and emotional collection of devotionals to help guide readers through the chaos and difficulties of life, helping to lead them towards the peace and love that God calls for all his children.
Raised by a single mother of six, author Traci Keck learned at a young age from her that God does not give anyone more than they can handle. Her twin, Staci, also taught her that God indeed has a plan and doesn’t leave anyone out. Her absolute love is her husband, Ron, and kids, Coleman, Jordi, and Gracie Boots. Traci first started writing devotions to help herself find ways to find the good, the purpose, and the positive. She was looking at what God makes available in life and then at the choices one can make. She found relating Scripture to real-life experiences gave her hope, and through sharing her stories that she is far from the only person trying to figure out what life is all about.
“Choosing peace sounds nice, doesn’t it?” writes Keck. “You may be wondering, where can I possibly start? Here in this book, you will find your way.
“A path to humor and hope. A journey through challenges and balance. A feeling of love and joy. And in our sometimes ‘less than peaceful world,’ you will find peace if you choose peace.
“Peace will come in all sizes. Some of you are looking for world peace—love that choice. Some of you just want a little peace of mind, a little peace with yourself. Wherever you are in your journey, you can bring about peace one day, one step, one choice at a time.
“Peace will always be the more difficult choice, but that’s what God has called us to do. God calls us to peace on many levels: peace with ourselves, our family, our neighbors, our community, and yes, even peace in our world. Where will you start? Are you ready to choose?”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Traci Keck’s new book is inspired by the author’s desire to help others find hope, which has given her a purpose of spreading positive energy in the world. Through sharing her writings, Keck hopes that her readers will find the love and strength they need today to help carry oneself through tomorrow and make the same choices of kindness again.

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
