About

Welcome to Gracie Sweetstory’s web page, a portal to MGBlog, where you can tell your stories. Gracie believes we all have stories to tell. Some of them are even true. 

If you would like to try your hand at writing as part of Stories for All Time, please go to  Gracie’sMGBlog and enjoy the weekly invitation to submit.    

Gracie Sweetstory, former eyelash model and former thesbian hippie, changed her career to freelance writer/optimistic obit composer/ author of neurotica when she discovered the power of words, especially big words. Her favorite is postanitneoconceptualizationalisticism.  She is a celebrant veritist and part-time librocubicularist.  An avid reader, Gracie also became a book reviewer when she learned that is a great way to get free books. 

Motivation (formerly known as a resume) 

Taking a vow of poverty, Gracie Sweetstory left a day job seven years ago and never looked back.   Thanks to garage sales, coupons, rebates, contests, free stuff and gigs as a movie extra, research study human guinea pig, fake patient, seat filler, tutor and writing/editing she is managing to stay afloat until pensionable age.  She gets to see free shows by ushering at the theatre and is allowed to dumpster dive for books in recycling bins for volunteering at a hospital book mart.  

If credentials are important to you, Gracie’s alter ego has a B.A. in History, a Bachelor of Education, a Post Baccalaureate in school counselling and Teaching English as a Alternate Language Certificate.    

Services (It really is all about you)

Gracie Sweetstory has discovered you don’t become poor from being generous.  The more Gracie gives away the more people give her things.  What started as volunteer  writing of senior citizens’ life stories for an assisted living residence newsletter morphed into Optimistic Obits.  Now requests come from Death With Dignity folks,  hospital chaplains and general word of mouth requesting help with writing a life story.  Just like the motto of Gracie’s Little Free Library, in her front yard, her services to the terminally ill are “always a gift, never for sale.” 

Gracie Sweetstory sublimates her volunteer work with stints as an English as an Alternate Language Tutor and freelance Editor.
