Welcome to Seasoned Grits: A blog for women aging with grace and guts.

Hello friend, and welcome. I’m so glad you found your way here.

If you’re a woman who’s entered her sixties (or somewhere in the neighborhood), and you’re navigating this season with a mix of wisdom, weariness, laughter, questions, and deep faith—you’re in the right place.

This is Seasoned Grits, a space I created for women like you and me—women who have lived through enough to know what matters, and who still want to grow, heal, create, and thrive, even as life shifts in unexpected ways.

🌾 Why “Seasoned Grits”?

Let’s start with the name.
Seasoned speaks to experience—the kind that only comes through time, trials, and tenacity.
Grits is a nod to my Southern roots and the gritty strength it takes to show up every day when your body is tired, the world is noisy, and your soul just wants peace.

Together, Seasoned Grits is about wisdom and warmth. About strength and softness. It’s about embracing this chapter of life with courage, a lot of faith, and a little sass.

✅ Faith – Devotionals, Scripture, and encouragement for weary souls

💫 GYG: Give Yourself Grace

You’ll see this phrase often around here: GYG — Give Yourself Grace.

It’s more than a reminder—it’s a rhythm.

Some days, you’ll have the energy to clean house, bake bread, or tend the garden.
Other days, brushing your teeth and whispering a prayer might be all you can do.
Both days matter.

So when your strength runs low, when your plans unravel, or when you feel behind—GYG.
Give Yourself Grace. And keep going.

🧡 Let’s Walk Together

This blog isn’t about perfection. It’s not even really about progress. It’s about presence.
It’s about showing up, even on the hard days—and choosing joy, even when the grit outweighs the glitter.

If you’ve been craving encouragement that’s real, spiritual, warm, and maybe even a little Southern, I hope you’ll stick around.

Be Blessed,

Judy
