Tenacious Grit & Grace

Tenacious. Grit. Grace.

Three simple words. Three simple words that so perfectly illustrate my life journey. Let me start by accurately defining these words via the incredible Merriam-Webster. Where would we even be without the dictionary? Spewing a whole bunch of nonsense, really. Anyways, as I was saying, here are the dictionary definitions of tenacious, grit, and grace.

Tenacious (adj.)—not readily relinquishing a position, principle, or course of action; determined

Grit (n.)—firmness of mind or spirit; unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger

Grace (n.)—disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency

If you were to ask me to describe myself in 3 words, my answer, without any hesitation would be tenacious, grit and grace. These words tell my life story. These words fuel my fire. These words drive my passion, my purpose, my dreams. I never thought of myself as a blogger, however, I’ve always kept a journal. I shared some of my stories with close friends and had overwhelming support to share them with the world. Much like you and everyone else, I have stories. I have stories of success, of failure, of pain and hurt, of overcoming adversity. We all have them but we don’t always share them. Maybe we don’t share them out of fear or judgment, or because we are afraid of how someone else might feel. This isn’t about that “someone else”. This blog is about my journey. My perspective on the experiences I’ve had. They are real and sometimes raw. They are ME!

I hope that through my stories, you may find courage, strength and the will to keep on, keeping on! With each post, you will learn more and more about who I am, where I came from and where I’m going. Now it’s time for some tenacious, grit and grace!

Happy Reading, my friend!
