Grace
To Live With Grace means we take an active role in our spiritual, financial, and personal growth. We invest in our own GRACE: Gratitude, Resilience, Authenticity, Creativity, and Empathy — recognizing that with God, and using our God-given Talent, Time, and Treasure, everything is possible.
Grace in the context of loss, pain, heartbreak, and grieving means that instead of being thrown into the downward spiral of anger, depression, denial, bargaining, and acceptance, we respond to loss with GRACE. Instead of sinking into the river of tears, we learn to build an archway across it.
Grace is also the key to successful investing — a high Return On Investment (ROI) and more importantly, a high Return On Legacy (ROL). Some see The Grace Initiative as the key to Legendary Wealth. We see it as Money With Meaning™. Thus, the subtitle: Beyond Money!

Feeling Angry?
Remember, To Love and Be Loved you Must Love…
Much of the time I spent in anger—with God, the doctors, my pitiful life, everything—was nothing more than wasted energy and ultimately, wasted life.
It is so easy to fall into the anger trap but, like a mouse, if you don’t chase the cheese you won’t get caught!
What is hard to understand is that it is impossible to love when your heart is filled with hate.
Sure, you will intellectually get it, but our emotions create a blockage that short circuits our belief that anger is robbing us of love.
Grace Matters
Grace Matters Because…
In the end, we either take our grief to the grave or lift up our spirit—here and now—in Grace.
Years ago I lost a dear friend to the Viet Nam conflict, war, or whatever the politically correct would call it.
Kenny was the best of the best and graduated at the top of his class at the Air Force Academy, flew jets, and in his 25 short years, lived his life on purpose and with Grace.
For the past 50 years, I have thought about him and why I lived and he died.
It just didn’t seem right somehow.
He was stronger, faster, smarter, and a tremendously gifted leader.
The Letter We Alone Must Write
You are Not Alone…
When we have lost a loved one, we start to feel the clutching sorrow of loneliness and despair. We start to believe we have been left alone, and we will never love or be loved again.
Alone in the crowd is a terrible, empty feeling.
One of the hardest assignments that a grief or Grace counselor hands out is writing a letter to your loved one.
For a long time, only the tears flow, stopping you from even organizing your thoughts.
Over time, you start to see a flicker of light, light shining on what might be a pathway out of your terrible pain, leading to your new life.
Monday I wrote from my heart.
Today, it feels as if I am finally resolved to my loss, and accepting of my future without the one woman I loved more than life itself.
