My parents have always called me their little exclamation point, they may be regretting that right now — love you guys! My dad is my hero and embodied his motto of “do the right thing” throughout his 33 years in policing. I’m not saying he was a perfect cop, he’s human & created me after all. He taught me that striving for perfection is unattainable & sets you up for unnecessary failure. He also liked saying, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” My truth: I’m scared. Scared to post, be judged and of the backlash. Even though it’s all true. I was told my post yesterday was aggressive. Given what I know from my experience, I think my post was honest, understated, and gave that elected official too much grace. If it looks like a wolf & acts like a wolf.. Also my truth: I have a big heart & can’t turn a blind eye to the blatant injustices I saw. When history has conditioned us to encourage harmony & coverups over truth in our local government, it’s hard not to be scared. What’s scarier is elected officials remaining in office when they live under a veil of lies. It’s wasteful of my tax dollars especially when it’s more than one elected official in a local government system. I’m a prosecutor who believes that Problem Solving Courts should be the rule, not the exception. PSCs focus on addressing the underlying reason for criminality. A person as a whole, versus one moment in time with no consideration of what they’ve been through. I went to my uncle’s funeral the morning of my HS graduation ceremony. Ingesting a lot of cocaine over ten years catches up with you. I was mad until I understood addiction as a disease, which ultimately opened my eyes to the beauty of the world when you take the time to get to know someone’s story. “Hypothetically Speaking” will be a blog of real life stories shedding light from my POV on the justice system. You can find it at EmbraceGraYce.com. Want to share your story? Send a message. Embrace GraYce is about thinking outside of the societal black & white boxes. Challenge the norm & elect people in office that deserve to be there. I’m a glorified storyteller by profession. This is my open invitation for you to get uncomfortable by looking at justice & life through my lens. I’ve found happiness in truth. Biggest why for doing this? With hope in my heart that it shows my 5 & 7 year old daughters that when you choose courage instead of fear, you take your power back & effect positive change. Hypothetically speaking: Which title do you want to see first? 1. “Just talked to my chief. He says we will not be looking into this incident”: When a Sheriff Hands You Lemons, You Make Lemonade. 2. “Chance Made us Coworkers, Being Falsely Accused Trauma Bonded Us for Life” 3. “If You Need Help, Ask!” & Other Half Truths Told by Elected Officials. If my truth makes you uncomfortable, good. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Living it wasn’t sunshine & rainbows either.

This popped up on my feed this morning, and what better day than Do it for Dolly Day. Today is an important reminder of the profound impact small acts of kindness can have someone’s life. In a world where everyone wears a different mask, it’s easy to overlook the battles others may be facing behind their smiles. Remember that kindness has the power to uplift, heal, and restore faith. You never know the weight that someone may be carrying or the battles they are silently facing. Let’s make a conscious effort to spread kindness like wildfire. By extending kindness, we create a ripple effect that can transform someone’s entire day, or potentially their life. Let’s honour the memory of Dolly Everett by being beacons of kindness in a sometimes dark world. Let’s make our kindness our default mode of operation, not just today, but every day. One of my all time favourite quotes that is etched in my brain is ‘Kindness can make a bad day good, and a good day better’.
