When I began my journey into deathcare I was merely following a tickle of a calling that eventually sparked a fire within me fueled by purpose and passion far greater than I could have ever imagined. The mission of my work and of Going with Grace has always been clear—to support people as they answer the question “What must I do to be at peace with myself so I may live presently and die peacefully?” What wasn’t always so clear was the road by which to get there. Growing a business in a field that is (although becoming less) taboo has been complex. Some days I felt clear and there was effervescence in my blood and other days I would cry and feel lost, wondering where I got the nerve to take on death. But excavating your gifts doesn’t have to be a strenous undertaking!! The things that helped me to keep on keepin’ on during those unclear times were staying curious, choosing to play, slowing down to listen to my intuition, and surrounding myself with some really rad deathy folks who remind me that I’m not alone. Gratefully, that community of deathworkers who are LIT all the way up about making a difference in the world is only growing and it’s one of the reasons we created the EVOLVE business course to bring you together for support and guidance. 🙌🏿 ✨Our next round of this 6-week intensive course begins in April and we cap each session at 15 students so if you’re interested, don’t wait to join in on the fun!✨ We share your vision. Now let us support you in bringing it to life while you do death. 💜💀 @gisellebuchanan

Good morning 🌞 Image ID: On Waking Up I am wondering when newer became better. When we forsook the familiar for ideas of the future, mistook the mundane for less than extraordinary, wrote it off like a story. I am wondering when less stopped being more. When we began to believe that everything could be found in a store, that satisfaction will never be enough for you or for me. I am wondering when we fell for the lie. When we accepted that we’re here to work til we die, that our days are measured not in meaning but minutes and maximum efficiency. I am wondering when we can say we’ve made it. When we will look back and claim that the searching for fame and the making a name was worth what was lost, becoming somebody. I am wondering when the world will wake up. When we will open our eyes and realize that in staying asleep to keep chasing the dream, we forgot all we have: just this, to be.
