Hi! My name is Grace.
Welcome to my site.
I am glad you are here because I love having visitors, whether it is in real life or on the Internet.
I am over 10 years old and live with Mommy in Colorado. That is a state in the western part of the United States. It has lots of mountains with days of sunshine and days of snow. One of my favorite things is going to our friend’s house in the mountains.
The way I see it, life is an adventure.
I have had a lot of adventures in my life. You can read about some of them in Everybody Loves Grace, books 1, 2, and 3!
Loving people is another one of my favorite things.
Everyone needs love. I look into the eyes of every person I meet so they can feel the love I have for them. They like to pet me, and I like it too. And sometimes, I give them my paw to say hi.
Even when I am not sure what will happen next, I find the fun and the good in everything I do and in everyone I meet. It certainly makes life more interesting!
I hope you like my site.
Please join me on my very first adventure.

Fun Visiting The Boys and Girls Club
I had so much fun visiting the kids at the Boys and Girls Club in Comfort, Texas. They listened carefully as Mommy read parts of my story, Everybody Loves Grace an Amazing True Story of Grace’s Adventure to Texas.
The kids were so well mannered, and they raised their hands before asking questions about my stories and me. One boy asked Mommy when the movie about my adventures is going to come out. His question made me smile and I hope someday that will happen.
Lovingly, Grace
Visiting KONO 101.1
I’ve been wanting to tell you about meeting Dave Rios during his morning show at KONO 101.1. He is very active with the Feature Teacher Literacy program in San Antonio.
It was so fun to be a part of his morning show. San Antonio is filled with many military families and Dave encouraged his listeners to read my stories.
Dave and I have a common belief. I heard him say a few times during the interview, “Yesterday’s history…Tomorrow’s a mystery…And, Today is the gift…That’s why it’s called the present.” Dave Rios
Lovingly, Grace
We Are a Little Behind
I’ve been remiss about getting posts to you with stories from our fun road trip to Texas in September. There’s so much to share about the trip, I don’t know where to begin.
Grace met lots and lots of children through events at schools, Boys and Girls Clubs and coffee shops. Grace was her amazing self as she connected with so many kids. There was one sweet boy who really wanted to pet her and he kindly asked permission to pet Grace. His name is Nolan and Grace thinks he is very special.
Grace wants to tell you about our visit with Dave Rios and his morning show at KONO 101.1 in San Antonio. I’ll be sure to get her blog to you very soon.

There’s nothing better than sharing Everybody Loves Grace books with students and engaging in a lively discussion. #EveryBodyLovesGrace #kindnessmatters #kidlit #adventure #courage
Storytelling has a lot of benefits. It’s fun, engaging, and a great stress reliever.
But one of my favorites is that it stimulates your mind.
That’s part of the reason I wrote the books about Grace - I wanted to share her stories in a format that people of all ages could be stimulated and inspired by.
Living with Grace is a program for seniors that is specially designed with their cognitive health in mind. Every story about Grace provides stimulation for participants when they hear about her adventures and the challenges she faces.
And the program guides for the staff member or caregiver leading the activity provide all the prompts needed to keep the participants fully engaged.
I would love for you and your seniors to experience the benefits of storytelling, so I am giving away the first chapter of book 6 for FREE on my website! Please visit www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com today for the download.
I know as soon as you finish the first chapter, you’ll see how Living with Grace can be a valuable resource for your activity calendar!
No matter what age you are, one thing is inevitable - change.
From children in preschool to seniors living in communities, everyone needs to cope with change, and one of the best tools for navigating change is using storytelling.
Any good story has some type of problem to solve, so when you share stories, you are constantly learning how others have resolved challenging situations.
Living with Grace is a seniors program that uses storytelling to show how Grace the Dog faces all types of changes in her life. It also nurtures conversations between participants, so they can share their stories, too.
If you’d like to read a sample of the award-winning six-book series, please visit my website at www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com and download chapter 1 of book six today!
Do you know a great way to build friendships in your community?
Share stories!
Research shows that when you participate in storytelling, you bond with the other people in your group by connecting with them and the characters in the stories.
This builds empathy, which helps you be a better friend.
Living with Grace uses storytelling to share the adventures of Grace the Dog, who is a true friend to everyone she meets.
Communities thrive when their residents enjoy strong friendships, and Living with Grace is designed to help seniors live a happier, fuller life through an award-winning book series.
If you’d like to see how powerful storytelling can be, then I’d like to share a story about one of Grace’s adventures with you for FREE!
Please visit my website at www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com today for a download of the first chapter of Book 6!

I’m excited to share that my new book, “Humble Yet Fierce: My Life Behind the Curtain of the CIA,” is officially published. When I headed off to college in 1979, I couldn’t have imagined that one day I would be writing books and delivering speeches about leadership.
Yet it’s here, a book with some of my life stories and lessons learned about work and leadership during my thirty-two year career in the CIA.
