When No Kids Go Hungry

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 1:41 pm By Grace Sandra

As many of you know, Congress needs to make a whole-lotta important decisions. One of the issues on the table is the decision to cut funding for a poverty relief program in the US which will affect millions of children & families, leaving them vulnerable to hunger. I am extremely passionate about programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program aka food stamps because I used them once in a time when we were living well below the poverty...

Establishing Memories

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 12:05 am By Grace Sandra

Every 1st Monday of the month, I’ll be taking seriously my One Word for 2013 by joining Kristin, Alyssa, Suzannah, Leigh, Danielle & others to update our one word progress. You can join the OneWord365.com community & use the #onewordupdate hashtag on Twitter to follow along. The word I chose was establish. One aspect I hope to establish deeper this year is not only my relationship with my children but the practices, routines & interactions. ~ The first order of business is to... Read more

For You, Netizen

Last updated on: March 3, 2013 at 12:05 am By Grace Sandra

netizen |ˈnetəzən| noun a user of the Internet, esp. a habitual or avid one. ~ The one that explains why Feminism matters. And even though “I came out” last week as a non-identifying Feminist I respect and agree with this postion. Feminism matters because there is still so much work to do. Feminism matters because I want to leave the world better off than I found it. Feminism matters because social change is a long-term, high-intensity, slow-moving revolution. Feminism matters...

Be Grace

Last updated on: March 1, 2013 at 11:06 am By Grace Sandra

I hate ordinary time, ordinary things & most of all ordinary Grace. I do enjoy when things are simple. In fact, sometimes I long to make myself and my life more simple. I am first in line to muck up my life with new experiences, new challenges, new temptations and yes, new and exciting sins. I blame it on the ordinary. I blame it on being an Enneagram 7. I blame on blasted genetics. I blame it on me too.... Read more

Why I’m Opening Up Ad Space

Last updated on: February 28, 2013 at 12:05 am By Grace Sandra

Unapologetically, I decided I’m going to put some time & energy into selling ad space. If I seem a bit defensive about it, I am. For some reason, I assumed that one little declaration will make you assume the absolute worst of my bloggy aspirations. Here’s why I want to invite sponsorship: ~ I want to give a little oompf to other voices. If you click through to a blog or Etsy shop that you wind up loving... Read more

The Day I Became an Angry Black Woman

Last updated on: February 27, 2013 at 8:28 am By Grace Sandra

I never thought I, Grace Biskie could have a “vulnerability hangover” but I did. And I had it in a major way: snotty tears, anxiety shakes, desires to disappear from the interwebs. I responded so strongly, it made me wonder if I have what it takes to write the book I’d like to write and consequently cower in fear over my deeply personal & vulnerable essay coming out in a book this Fall(!?!?) I missed several posts & deadlines and... Read more

Love you

Last updated on: February 26, 2013 at 1:13 pm By Grace Sandra

Love yourself not because you have to love yourself first before others will. ~ Love yourself not because you think you are somehow prettier or smarter, a better mother, cook or person than someone else. Love yourself because you are made in the image of a beautiful artistic creator. ~ Love yourself because you have inherent worth as a daughter of God. ~ Love yourself because God looks at you and declares “that is good.” ~ Love yourself because there...

When Christians Act Like A Hot Mess

Last updated on: February 20, 2013 at 1:52 pm By Grace Sandra

A few weeks ago, a bunch of bloggers wrote on the topic of sex, virginity & sexuality. It became known as impromptu sex week. <—–Click through the links here if you want to see what all the hub-bub was about. I was pretty thrown off by the cruel words being thrown around, both in comments, on Twitter & in posts. For awhile now, this type of behavior has been something that’s made me wonder if I want to be a part... Read more

Why I Respectfully Decline Feminism

Last updated on: February 18, 2013 at 7:12 am By Grace Sandra

For all my life, for one reason or another -often many reasons- I’ve never been able to align or agree with any Feminists on enough issues to want to identify myself as one. A few weeks ago, I was trying to figure this out and put pen to paper to do so. This is the beginnings of what I came up. I don’t pretend to know all the issues and I’m not a deep theologian type but I know to... Read more
