Graciousness is practicing the arts of kindness, thoughtfulness, good manners, humanity, and, well, basic decency.

She provides tips to help you deal with the people and circumstances that challenge all of us (pushy relatives, internet trolls), and thoughtful discussions on being the highest version of yourself.
