What is the Graceful Journey?
The Graceful Journey is my story, an expression of my heart. I started it as a way to encourage and “do life” with others. My hope is that my words would be authentic and my life transparent. I am not perfect and this blog is not meant to be a glimpse into my perfect life but rather a way to connect with others through real life messes and victories.
Where did you come up with the name “The Graceful Journey”?
The name “Graceful Journey” came from a couple different things.
My name, Anna, means “graceful” – literally “full of grace”. As a child, I always thought that meant that I was meant to be elegant and softspoken – two things I am not. (Loudest talker and biggest clutz award went to me every time.) As I grew up and walked through life a little more, I learned that being full of grace, at least for me, had less to do with elegance and more to do with my faith and my attitude toward others.
