I will hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection.

As a busy wife, new mother, business owner, and designer, Emily Ley came to a spot when she suddenly realized she couldn’t carry out everything. She had a need to simplify her life, organize her days, and prioritize the priorities. She made a decision to hold herself to a typical of grace rather than excellence. This mantra led to the creation of her bestselling Simplified Planner®, a favorite among busy ladies everywhere-from mamas to executives and about Sophistication, Not Excellence: Embracing Simplicity, Chasing Joy almost everywhere in between.

Grace, Not Perfection takes this message from a regular planner to an inspirational publication that encourages females to simplify and prioritize. Made with Emily Ley’s signature aesthetic, this reserve gives women tangible ways to simplify their lives to give space from what issues most. With a focus on trust, Emily reminds readers that God abundantly pours out grace on us-and that surely we can expand sophistication to ourselves.
