Today celebrates the anniversary of the day the United States adopted the 19th Amendment in 1920, the amendment that allowed Women to vote in elections. While women have come a long, long way since then, it’s important to know our fight towards equality is not over. Celebrating today is especially important to me because when I was a little girl growing up in rural China, girls were not valued the way boys were valued. I remember one time when my mother had gotten us a little bit of food since we often went without it, she gave more to my brother because he was seen as the more important one…

A Day In The Life of A Blogger
What does a 3rdyear nursing student, newlywed and a fulltime blogger have in common? The simple answer: a zest for life and passion to keep learning. This post is written by Stephanie Probert, Grace’s assistant. Being a fulltime blogger, one question that Grace receives most often is: What exactly is a blogger anyway and what do you do? As Grace’s assistants, Lois and I thought it would be interesting to share our view on the day to day reality of blogging and the social media influencer world. Both Lois and I are at two very different points in our lives; her a full-time nursing student, lover of coffee and queen…

Home is The Key ||The Key to Happiness
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own! Home used to be a bitter and sweet word that, often brought tears to me. When I was young, I hardly had a home. Before I was 11 years old, we had a one bedroom house you may call a shed with a straw roof, mud wall and dirt floor in China. There was no running water, barely working electricity and no toilet. Winter was very tough, I often woke up in the middle of the night freezing and hungry. Then we lost this home, moved to a new city. Over the next ten years, we had moved more…

Celebrating 12 Years of Living in America
Today is a special day for me. 12 years ago, after 30 plus hours traveling from China, I landed in Detroit, Michigan. From that moment, my life has totally changed, from barely speaking English to becoming an author and a public speaker, from single, to wife, to step-mother, to grandma, widow, and single again. From jobless to full-time teacher later quitting to become a full-time influencer with only hopes from of making $500 per month to making that even better reality. I started out as letting life just happen, then I found a purpose, and then my life started working for me. When I look back, my life seems like…

Giving Away My Birthday To Someone Else || Fundraiser For Susan G. Komen 3-Day® Walk
Today I turn 45 years old. Looking back to the first half of my life, I have to say, I am a lucky person. Despite all the hardships that I had gone through, I ended up today still alive, healthy, and doing what I love. I still have the ability to love and be loved. What else could I need? Two summers ago, I was called back to get my second mammogram because the doctor was concerned about the result of my first one. After the second one was done, I was sent to the waiting room for the result. That half hour I spent was probably the longest 30…

Learning English as Second Language || The Funny Stories
If you are new to my blog/social media, you may not know that I wasn’t born and raised in America. I came to the states when I was 33 years old. Being an ESL (English as Second Language) person, there have been so many funny moments caused by the language barrier that I still can’t stop laughing at myself about. I learnt English through real-life experiences and homemade resources that helped me revise. I used to create bingo cards to help me learn new words and phrases. It took a while but I got there in the end! If you’re somebody who’s first language happens to not be English but…
