Grace is what you get that you don’t deserve

If I had chosen a name related to Johnny Cash, Elvis, gangster rap, country outlaws, or the 80’s this idea would have been all too predictable for those who know me. Much like the fact that I collect & hoard groups of 3 plus items in multiple colors that I will probably never wear or use, my mind is always brimming with information that usually annoys the hell out of me if I cannot figure out how to channel it artistically. With that being said, James Blake and Grace was the creative precursor to damnliver.com which you will hear referenced quite frequently.

I just didn’t know it when I began writing because I struggled with a name for over two months. In fact since Jon’s last hospitalization I’ve been spilling my times new roman brain onto a white blank page. That damn liver of Jon’s literally throws a wrench in the perfect life we had planned. With that being said, James Blake and Grace is my attempt at reconciling everything that my ADHD brain finds enjoyable, taxing, or relentless. James and Blake, I know you get it. They and Jon are the loves of my life. But why grace? It is what we get that we don’t deserve. Even when bad things happen grace is there… Even when we choose to ignore it, grace is inevitable. We all need it, go on, admit it. If you found your way here, maybe you’re looking for grace too. Thank you for taking the first steps on this journey with me, it’s nice to meet you. In case you don’t know me, I’m just Ash & this is me writing about Jon, James, Blake, and everything in between while looking for grace!
