graced and grounded

Graced & Grounded is a quiet place for women who love God and are learning how to live that love in real life.

 

I’m Clarissa, a Catholic convert, writer, wife, mother and deacon’s wife. My faith has been shaped not by perfection, but by grace - found in parish life, motherhood, ministry, and the ordinary, sometimes messy rhythms of daily living.

 

This site grew out of a longing to speak honestly about what it means to walk with God without having it all figured out. Here, you’ll find reflections rooted in the Catholic faith, liturgical seasons, and lived experience - written for women who want to be faithful, present, and grounded, even when life feels unfinished.

 

Graced & Grounded is about beginning again. About learning to say yes in small ways. About trusting that grace meets us exactly where we are - and gently carries us forward.

 

You’re welcome here, just as you are.
