Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Grace. I am married to David, and we are the happy parents of a beautiful little girl. We live in Memphis, Tennessee. David is a Graphic Designer and Photographer who roasts coffee for a living, and I teach music to help out with that living. I am an artist, prone to cynicism, anxiety, and negativity. I have learned to combat those things by surrounding myself with beauty, goodness, and truth. From lyric cards on my kitchen cupboards, bible verses on my fridge, good music playing through my speakers, curtains open to let the sun in, to writing this blog, I’ve chosen to live life on the bright side, choosing joy, choosing truth, choosing goodness, meditating on beauty. Writing is one of my favorite outlets of creativity, especially because I am also rather opinionated, for better or for worse. I am a Christ follower, a lover of all things liberal arts, a musician, a mommy, a wife, no longer defined by sin but freed by grace through faith to live life to the fullest, thankful for each new day.
