Rooted in compassion, nature, and authentic connection, Anne's mission is to make grace accessible to everyone, everywhere.Throughout this episode, Anne brings warmth, vulnerability, and profound insight as she shares how Grace Trail evolved into a deeply healing practice for individuals from all walks of life.

Today we're exploring the reality of grace with a story about my pup, Bailey, and a perfect tuna sandwich. Here are some resources I hope will help you recognize how grace is moving in your one beautiful life. 1. Perfect Tuna Sandwich: half sandwich with chilled tuna, just a hint of mayo on good bread such as marble rye or sourdough. Add crumbled feta, leafy lettuce or spinach, diced English cucumber, and a few grinds of black pepper. Enjoy with a ripe clementine and a handful of potato chips and be blessed! 2.

Song: Christ the Lord is With Me, by Steffanie Gretzinger and Amanda Lindsey Cook 12. Journal prompts: How did God come to meet me in this day? As I look back on my life, where have I felt the Hand of God change my path for my good? In what person or book or music did God reveal Himself to me this week? How can I respond to the grace that is offered to me? 13. Just heard of this! Grace Trail in Plymouth, Massachusetts and I'm definitely trying it! If you live in the area, this would make a great walking meditation.

Anne shares the story of how she created Grace Trail. From a 'life tsunami' she created a source of positivity that is now used by people around the world. There are five stages to Grace: Gratitude, Release, Accept, Challenge, Embrace. From these stages, Anne developed five questions: Even though life is really difficult, what can I be grateful for right now? What do I need to release to move forward in my life? What is calling out for acceptance? How would I like to challenge myself in this moment? The challenge to move forward in the direction of my choice What can I embrace as possible?

Robbie Haigh speaks with Grace Trail creator Anne Jolles about her organization and purpose.

Paulette and Anne go way back. Anne was instrumental in allowing her to access that part of her that had the courage to dig deep, ask the right questions and change her life for the better.

Jolles thrives on helping courageous people take five steps to their best lives through her message of joy, hope, and resiliency. The Grace Trail is a simple five-step process that starts with gratitude and ends with hope. By asking and reflecting on the five Grace Trail questions… Gratitude: What am I grateful for? Release: What do I need to release to move forward with my life? Acceptance: What is calling out for acceptance? Challenge: What is the next challenge of my own choosing? Embrace: What can I embrace as possible? You will find that you are walking off your worries and accessing hope and possibility. Anne explains her personal terrifying journey of despair before she goes on creating the actual, now-famous Grace Trail in Nelson Park in Plymouth, MA by gathering the beach stones, writing the words and questions on them and placing them along a 1-mile trail that thousands have discovered and walked. Now, the Grace Trail has become a global movement, with trails popping up all over the world, including an indigenous reservation in British Columbia and Egypt! But...hold on, You don’t have to come to Plymouth to walk Grace Trail!
