Who is Elizabeth Gray?
Elizabeth Gray is a lot of things, and also nothing at all. She is everywhere and nowhere; familiar and non-existent; adored and despised; a blessing and a curse. Yes, Elizabeth Gray is a lot of things. But as for today, she’s me.
Elizabeth was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of East Tennessee. She’ll tell you that the first 12 years of her life were full of wonder and love and a family like no other. Then, she’ll go on to tell you about the chaos and tragedy that fell down hard as she unraveled the illusion of everything she knew. Including herself.
Choosing to withdraw from the world while spending hours at a time in self-reflection, Elizabeth discovered that underneath her heartache and despair was a truth she could never replace; one that reconnected her with, not only everything she had lost, but also, that which is greater than herself.

The Unbreakable Promise
We all want the good life, but that’s not the guarantee, no matter how hard we try. We are guaranteed, however, to grow, develop, and learn. When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the struggles we face, nature’s trying to send us a message.
