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.

A special dog. A heartwarming story.
What’s New with Katy and Grace?
The Books Are Here!
The books were delivered to our condo yesterday! I spent part of the day signing each one of the books with my paw print. I thought it would be good to get a head start before the launch on Monday. It was really fun!! Now I can spend more time with everyone and won’t be so busy signing books at the party.
Mommy took me for a nice hike today and the leaves were so pretty. They were gold and red in color. There was also a beautiful lake where we were hiking, I really wanted to go for a swim but there was a sign that said, “no swimming permitted.” Oh, and I got to get close to a white and brown spotted horse who was on our trail. It was fun to spend such a beautiful and sunny day outdoors.
I Can’t Wait
It’s almost here and I can’t wait! I’m finally going to share Everybody Loves Grace with you. I hear Mommy talking to the printers and I know the books are shipped and on their way to our condo! I also hear Mommy on the telephone making arrangements for the party where we are going to be launching the book. I’m not really sure why it’s called a book launch, because I think that’s something that rockets do. I just know Mommy keeps calling it a book launch,
I’m very happy that some of the people I talk about in the story will be attending the party. It will be nice for everyone to meet these special people.
I wish everyone reading my blog could join me at the book launch, but I know that isn’t possible. I do hope I get to meet you someday.
Traffic Lights Not Working
Yesterday I got to see Bobby who you will get to know in my book. He was telling Mommy that the traffic lights near us weren’t working. He said that made it very hard for him to cross the street safely in his wheelchair. I then heard him tell Mommy that a man on a bike ran into him and knocked him over as he was trying to cross 6th Avenue. Thankfully Bobby said he only got a few scratches. I am so happy Bobby is okay and he just amazes me how he smiles no matter what.
Reading My Stories in China
I just learned that Everybody Loves Grace books are being read in some schools in China. It's nice to know the books are helping Chinese students with their study of the English language. It's also fun to have the kids join me on my adventures. Lovingly, Grace...
Don’t Forget to Breathe
I had a wonderful opportunity to be interviewed by Medium.com as a part of their Women in Wellness series. The interview provides insights on how dogs, stress and leadership relate. I hope you enjoy the read....

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.
