Gritty Sunshine

Gritty Sunshine Follow me for laughs, inspiration or just because I’m trying to entertain! 🔆 Let's spread some sunshine together.

Follow me at Gritty Sunshine to score on deals and finds for your home, family, closet and mind. The word "gritty" suggests resilience, determination, and a willingness to face obstacles head-on, while "sunshine" represents warmth, light, and optimism. Together, these words convey a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Inspired by my mom's battle with ALS, we've evolved into an

affiliate marketing platform with a purpose! While we continue to offer T-shirts that reflect our philosophy of optimism and perseverance, my focus has shifted to curating a selection of items that embody the Gritty Sunshine spirit through Amazon (and others) affiliate marketing. As an affiliate, I earn a small commission with each purchase made through my affiliate links...and I donate portion of the profits towards supporting organizations that make a difference in the fight against ALS. It's my way of giving back and honoring the memory of my mom, who was a shopaholic, and who continues to inspire us with the memory of her smiles, positivity and strength. Join me on this journey as I spread the joy through shopping, sales and smiles...and some of her recipes...and some of my crazy antics that are entertaining (at least to me!).

Vegas. May 27, 2024.
That’s when I had my last drink and it was a vanilla oak beer…and damn I wish it was a Sauvignon Blanc! 😉

Was I an alcoholic? Nope.

My doctor simply told me 🚫alcohol due to an autoimmune issue with my liver. So that day, I stopped.

Was it hard? Nope.

The worst part was the social aspect. Drinking IS the social norm…centered around everything. 

Out to dinner…You drink.
At the beach…You drink.
See a movie…You sneak it in.
At a friends…You open a bottle.
Patio hangouts…Pop a cold one.
Game nights…You drink.
Celebrations…You toast.

When you tell people you don’t drink, they actually act like something is wrong with you.

Seriously, we need to normalize not drinking.

OK… Hopping off my soapbox now. 😘

I can always count on to bring the sillies out! You should’ve seen our neighbor face when she walked around the corner and saw us “smoking“!

These were her first steps…literally! Now she’s off to college in a few months.

and I’m okay with that…cause the chocolate crunchies are soooo worth it!

My only baby is graduating… and you feel the need to make and watch puppy videos as a distraction.
