Hi, I'm Grace!

Thank you for stopping by our shop. I’m Grace, the owner of Graceful Galore and the creator behind all the Rosary bracelets you see in our store. 

I’m a woman in my fifties, and I feel like I’m starting the Second Act of my life. And frankly, I felt lost.

Twenty years ago, my husband passed away from cancer. I had no profession, and I was anxious about how I would raise my daughter on my own.

Life had felt painful and challenging at the time, but now, twenty years had flown by. My daughter is fully grown, and we are in a much better place.

And yet, while I poured my heart into being a wife to my husband and a mother to my daughter, I hadn’t poured anything back to myself. I felt so lost and empty, and I asked God: who am I? What do I want in my life? What do I find fulfilling in my life? I prayed and prayed. 

Discovering my purpose

To find my answers, I ventured to holy sites like the Holy Hill Basilica and the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion. I prayed earnestly to God and asked Holy Mary to pray on my behalf. I had also embarked on numerous Novena prayers. And now, I feel like my prayers are being answered.

One day, I had broken one of my necklaces, where all the beads had fallen out. As I was picking up the individual beads, I had an idea to create a new bracelet with them.

As I strung the beads together to form a new creation, something had spoken to me. Something had woken inside me. It was a memory that I had long forgotten. 

Twenty years ago, I had a habit of misplacing my Rosaries, where I’d rummage through my bags and scurry around my house to find it and actually sit down to do my prayers. To solve this inconvenience, I thought why not create a bracelet for myself? Something I could carry with me at all times and pray wherever and whenever I wanted.

I trained in advanced beadwork to craft my Rosaries. It was truly a fascinating and an enjoyable experience. When I created my first Rosary in its bracelet form since twenty years ago, I remembered that I fell in love with the craft.

I couldn’t believe I had forgotten the passion I had for creating Rosaries, and I felt it a miracle that God helped me remember this part of me. I realize that this is truly my calling.

Through this realization, I am committed to building my life through helping others who may be going through similar struggles. I want to find and dedicate myself to the community through service and devotion.

As a human being living in this world, I do not necessarily want to leave a mark, but rather be remembered as someone who was able to offer help. I used to think only of myself, but I realized that the Lord had always been calling me. I want to share the love I have received with others, even if just a little, and then go to be with God.

Handmade rosaries that inspire

I am dedicated to creating and offering high quality, handcrafted rosaries that inspire prayer, devotion, and a deeper connection to God.

Each rosary is thoughtfully designed and carefully made, reflecting our commitment to faith and tradition.

I hope these bracelets help you on your faith and prayer journey as much as it has helped me.Â
