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.
