About me

I’m Jess.

The voice, author, and creator behind Dab of Grit – which I
hope will become a place of encouragement, perspective, and humor –  on a number of different topics. 

The word Grit describes a personality trait that is associated with perseverance, resilience, and determination.

I’ve often wondered if Grit is something we are born with or
developed over time.  I’ve been “gritty” for as long as I can remember. It is the reason I push myself to achieve goals, despite the present obstacles. And I wonder how I can pass some of this down to my children.

Success —whether its personal, professional, or financial — requires determination, especially in the face of unsuitable circumstances. Success is not promised or guaranteed to anyone. Success does not discriminate based on age, race, or color — however, it certainly seems to favor those who have even the slightest amount of Grit.

Stay gritty my friends.
