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.

Signing Books at Koziar’s Christmas Village
Grace has been an amazing travel companion through the nearly 2,000 miles we drove to get to Koziar’s Christmas Village for a book paw-printing. Grace is truly the best co-pilot for any adventure. She goes with the flow no matter what happens. As Grace mentioned in her last post, we had to stop for the night unexpectedly because of an ice storm. Grace just took it in stride and did what she does best….introduced herself to all the new people at the hotel and made them feel special.
We had a wonderful evening at Koziar’s Christmas Village on Saturday night. At least 200 children and parents had the opportunity to meet Grace and say hello. Grace thought it was very special. Her only request was she wished she had more time to stay at Christmas Village and to meet Santa Claus.
Grace was in awe the whole time! Christmas Village has over 1 million lights and special scenes of Christmas from around the world. It truly is a special place and it was a special time for Grace and me.
Driving Across the United States
We made it to Pennsylvania on our road trip! It was snowing when we left Denver on Monday but then the sun came out and it made for three nice days of driving. I enjoyed looking out the window as Mommy drove, especially when the sun was setting. We woke up on Thursday morning and there was ice all over the roads and the rain was freezing as it fell. We took our time leaving the hotel on Thursday and thought we were going drive to Christmas Village so we could rest on Friday.
Well, while we were driving on Thursday the roads kept getting more and more slippery as the rain fell and ice was everywhere. To tell you the truth, I was a little scared because these big trucks would pass us on the road. When we stopped for gas I heard Mommy call her friend and tell her we would be checking into a hotel and not driving the last few hours to Christmas Village.
It turned out to be so much fun! We got into our hotel room around noon and just spent the day watching more and more people check into our hotel. There was a parking lot outside our window and I counted over 50 tractor trailer trucks pull into the lot and spend the night. I was so happy to be safe and warm in our hotel room.
Here’s a photo of me on our road trip!

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.
