| Name: | Grace |
| Location: | Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States |
| Bio: | I am Grace. I have a partner and best friend. His name is Jeff.
We have a daughter named Vera. She was born on February 11th, 2008, safely at home. Read her birth story!
I have a doggy. Her name is Maya.
I have two rats. They are called Dill and Walt.
 
I use a lot of pictures when I post, and I try to take a photo every day. I talk a lot about my family, my baby, my animals, food, and my garden. I am hopelessly introspective, and I think a lot about how to live my life better. I'm always taking on new challenges and trying to truly "be the change". I strive to be a woman of purpose, and to live my life with energy and love. I like livejournal because it encourages me to write, reflect, and learn about others.

"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." (Dawna Markova)
"I get up each morning determined to both change the world and have a hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult." (E.B. White)
"The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life." (Jane Addams)
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." (Marcel Proust)
"Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love." (Martin Luther King Jr.)
