Lori in the snow

Author’s Note

Welcome to Old Grateful™. What started as a stream of consciousness blog about finding gratitude in the day-to-day has grown into something more. Since July 2021, Old Grateful™ has held space for understanding, acceptance, and healing (my own).

Old Grateful™ stories are written in “Lori speak” — my voice, my memories, my understanding of the facts. Domestic violence and sexual abuse are themes that run through many of the stories. In the beginning, I could allude to but not say the words. I am grateful that I build confidence and bravery with each post. And I am grateful you’re here.

Scotland 2003 … I love the vibe and the message of flow and looking to the future with enthusiasm. I am living that future right now and I am grateful.
