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!
