Grateful Hearts is home to two unique blogs.

One shares the origin of Grateful Hearts—the inspiration behind the brand, the meaning of our products, and the journey of creating items rooted in gratitude and purpose.

The second is a deeply personal and raw journal written by Misti Schulz, founder of Grateful Hearts and a breast cancer survivor. These entries reflect honest moments, faith, healing, gratitude, and the emotions experienced along the way.

Together, these blogs tell both the story behind the brand and the heart behind it.
