Authentically Gretta: All Things Beauty & Inspiration

Mission
Established in 2023, Authentically Gretta is a platform designed to empower and inspire others to embrace their unique identity in Christ, as they discover their innate creativity and God-Given purpose.

Welcome!
Have you ever felt like you were purposed for more... like there was a missing piece to your story?  Hello, I am Gretta Smith, a Child of God, a devoted Wife, and Mother. This platform is all about sharing transformational inspiration and empowerment, for the purpose of helping others activate their God-Given purpose in Christ.

My God-Given purpose was activated two years after resigning my full-time career of 15 years in 2021, to join in our family business full-time.  In 2023, "Authentically Gretta" was established.  I also wrote my first poem, "Authentically Me," published in 2024.  This platform is a testament to what God can do when we are obedient to His Will.  God equipped me to become uncomfortable with the familiar (familiar mindset, familiar environment, familiar expections, etc.) for this moment, preparing me to walk in my calling,

There's a calling within each of us. We sometimes forget who God tells us we are; oftentimes, tuning into what the world tells us we are not.  According to God's Word, we are a chosen one, handpicked by God.  Jeremiah 1:5 states, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I santified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations." While this verse was referring to the divine calling and preordained purpose of the prophet Jeremiah, this is a reminder that through Christ, we are set apart for a greater calling.  

If you are ready to activate your purpose, please join me on this journey!

SELF-AWARENESS

Self-awareness is foundational to personal and interpersonal growth, enabling individuals to live more fulfilling lives, build healthier relationships, and achieve their goals with greater clarity and authenticity. It allows individuals to recognize their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. This self-understanding is crucial for personal development and continuous growth.

SELF-CARE

Taking time for oneself allows for relaxation, rejuvenation, and better resilience in facing life’s challenges. Ultimately, prioritizing self-care enables individuals to better care for others and fulfill their responsibilities more effectively.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

Self-confidence is a fundamental aspect of personal development and plays a key role in shaping our success, happiness, and fulfillment in life. When we believe in ourselves, we are more likely to take on challenges and persist in the face of setbacks; we are better equipped to view setbacks as temporary and learn from them, rather than seeing them as insurmountable obstacles.
