As for my quote:

∞ “Grace is the outer expression of your inner reality of peace and harmony” Jo-Ann Downey

Grace is a tall order indeed; it goes hand-in-hand with acceptance, forgiveness, patience, courage, faith, and wisdom.   Grace is a gift you give yourself and others, especially in the face of a storm.
