Grace

What does Grace mean?
Goodness given freely, whether or not it's deserved. Grace is also the art of moving through the world with ease.
Another way of seeing Grace
Grace has two meanings that turn out to be the same thing: the dancer's elegance and the undeserved kindness. Both are about lightness, about not letting a stumble become a fall. Grace lets a mistake be a mistake rather than a verdict on who someone is. Imagine how differently you'd live if you gave yourself that.
Grace in relationships
Give someone grace today: the late friend, the short-tempered colleague, the partner who forgot. Assume there's a story you can't see, and respond to that.
Grace in everyday life
When you make a mistake today, respond the way a dancer responds to a stumble: absorb it, adjust, keep moving. No replay required.
Carry this with you
A mistake is an event, not a verdict.
