A little bit of light for the journey.
Truth-telling, practical wisdom, and thoughtful resources offer you a little bit of light for the journey.
I show up raw and real in these letters because I believe that truth-telling breaks shame and births freedom in our lives. I invite you to do the same.
HOPE is a realistic sense of optimism or attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes and it has a couple of key characteristics: a sense of agency (a feeling of control over your actions and their consequences) and the belief that there is more than one path to where you want to go (I like to call this a sense of joyful possibility). We can tell the truth about struggle, pain, and the reality that there is much in life we do not have control over and still choose to take responsibility for what we can control. Both/and. I like to think of “hope in action” or “practical hope” that calls us to get our hands and heart dirty as we find our way forward gently, imperfectly, and on purpose.
