Hope: in the middle of the kind of tension in the air that can be cut by conversations, I am trying to water the seeds of hope. The kind of hope that will rebuild and show care to each other, no matter what. The kind of hope that fills up the divides and grows humanity into a loving force.

How wonderful would it be if love was the primary directive of everyone? I know that often I am filled with the naivety of a child. Mostly, because I believe that every human being deserves opportunity and that everybody is equal. The idea that money, clothing, jewels and position creates a hierarchy, never has worked in my mind. I see people as people. so I don’t believe that I can carry the amount of hatred or diminish other’s or believe myself to be anything but a person trying to thrive in a world that often is filled with a lot of emotions. I have had my grief, losses, and successes.

When I wake up in the morning, I rejoice that I have another opportunity to share a smile. Give a hug and do something good. We have to try to give hope to those who don’t have it. We have to take the time to begin to see that if we don’t share love, kindness and care that our world will become darker. So I fight back with a smile with love in my heart, creating Community and doing everything I can to make a difference I know on some days. It’s just a drop on others It might be more, but I’m still gonna try every day. The sun was here and my beautiful lake is open and soon we can sit and enjoy nature and absorb the beauty.

Big love to all of you. Keep on loving. Keep on smiling and keep on giving hope to anybody that you can.
