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!
Grief-Stricken vs. Grace-Stricken
You Are Just…
Grief-stricken and everything will be ok…
Over time you will feel better and not hurt so much…
You just need to get over it and snapback…
If you have experienced a great loss you have heard these words. Maybe not exactly the same words but the same meaning and intent.
People, especially those close to you, have no idea what to say to help, so they express their feelings in odd ways. Usually with what they think you want to hear.
Happy Easter ~ Life After Death

Bridging The River of Grief
Throughout my new book, you see we always have a choice between a positive or negative emotion.
We choose to be gloomy or grateful.
We choose to be pessimistic or proactive.
We choose, even when we don’t realize it, Regrets and Remorse vs. Grace.
What I have found is that most people in grief counseling accept…
Your Choice: Grief or Grace
I wrote this book to help you come to terms with the grief that stems from great loss. I wrote this article to share the big WHY behind my thinking.
My hope is that you will better understand how your choices and actions will either shorten or lengthen your time in grief vs. living your new life.
As a writer, there is one thing I believe in more than psychology, philosophy, or theology.
It’s the power of WORDS.
Words have meaning and they have the power to kill our spirits or heal our broken hearts.
Having gone through the terrible experience of losing the woman I loved more than anything or anybody, I expected to grieve.
A Word About Our Cover…
This book, especially the cover, saved my life.
You will see the traditional memorial candle with flame turning into the smoke that represents the spirit manifesting itself as a woman rising from death in the real world, to live in the spirit world.
I wrote this book to save me years in the prison of grief… and to help the world see there is a clear alternative: Grace.

Love With Grace™: The Door Beyond the Grave
