The Grit and the Grace

Where the practice lives and the stories begin.

This is my space for writing in real time. It’s where I show up to practice and allow ideas to exist before they are finished or published.

Some entries here are extensions of conversations from the podcast, Grace Lives Here, while others are reflections on grief, recovery, and the process of remembering who I was before everything changed.

Whether it’s a note from the middle of a chapter or a thought on the day's work, or my latest existential crisis, this is where the grit of my writing lives.

I'd love it if you'd stop by to learn more.

The Work I'm Not Used to Yet (Inner Work)

This week started quieter than I expected. Work was busy, but for a while, my mind wasn’t. It felt slower. It seemed like the noise finally stepped back far enough for me to hear myself think again. I’ve been thinking about how often we confuse quiet with resolution. As if silence means everything has settled, or that we’re supposed to feel okay once the chaos lifts. But I’m learning that staying inside the quiet, even if it’s uncomfortable, can be its own kind of reckoning.

Grace, Beginning Again

Grace Lives Here exists because I needed somewhere to tell the truth and begin again.
