How Did Grace Trail Happen?

A Message from Anne Jolles, Creator of Grace Trail®.

Grace Trail put the “life” back into my life.

Who would have thought that something I heard at one of the most challenging times in my life would blossom into this wonderful thing called Grace Trail? How did that happen? In 2000 I was in my kitchen feeling beaten and discouraged. At that low moment, I saw and heard these five Grace words and questions. And here I am, 22 years later, sharing it with you.

The gift of Grace is that I asked, then noticed, and heard when the answer was given. I don’t mean to sound far out there; it happened that way. Call it what you like. I stopped, noticed, listened, and saw something that had meaning for me, which evolved into this amazing Grace Trail that is spreading and being walked and talked worldwide.

It is so simple and effective…why didn’t anyone do this before? That is the mystery of grace, the beauty of grace. You can just wait and notice when grace happens to show up, or you can attract it and invite it in by asking the 5 Grace Trail questions.

A good question can be the beginning of a great adventure.

From my heart to yours, this Trail’s for you.

Anne

With gratitude and a smile,
