Grit&Grace
Elegantly surviving life’s ups and downs.
Grit&Grace
Grit&Grace is about me, but it’s also about you.
Grit&Grace is about goals and dreams, but it’s also about failure and heartache.
Grit&Grace is about falling, but it’s also about getting back up. Grit&Grace is about things going terribly wrong, but it’s also about how things can turn out to be amazingly good.
Grit&Grace is my mantra, but it’s also what draws me to others.
Grit&Grace is how I navigate this crazy thing called life, so read on & join the journey!

FEAR(ce)

If not now, when?
I was recently at my cousin’s house and she has this sentence on display in her kitchen. A very simple phrase packing in a whole lot of power. It serves as a gentle reminder that we often tend to put off, push back and press forward our hopes, projects, dreams and goals. Not just the…
