Showing up with the gift of Divine Mischief

Do you thirst for love, meaning and purpose in your life? Have you ever wondered: What is my wisdom? What is my purpose? What do I do now?

Once labeled a “slow learner” unlikely to finish high school, Alley went on to earn an MBA, launch three nonprofits, and become a member of the Founders Circle of the Obama Foundation.

Defining Grace traces Alley’s improbable journey toward her purpose. It explores how she found her true voice and dared to use it to bring hope and courage to individuals and communities to change the global operating system from one based on fear to one inspired by love.
