Hope doesn't die, but it can be lost

Hope is both ephemeral in our hearts and material in our actions.

Hope is a thought process built on setting your goals, a steadfast sense you can accomplish what you want and developing strategies - plans to overcome the obstacles towards your goals.

Strong hope crowds out fear and impotence.

And, yet. Hope is only as resilient as
  • the strength of our vision for a better future
  • a purpose-filled mindset, and
  • our will to act. 

Hope doesn't die, but it can certainly be lost along the ways of life. It's not just major disasters that can cause us to lose hope - constant day-to-day life can take our eyes off the horizon just long enough for hope to get dropped along the pathway.

The Future of Hope

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in for On Being with Krista Tippett podcast series about "The Future on Hope" and how to hang on to hope.

The Future of Hope podcasts ran from September, 2021 through April, 2022, just as we were emerging from the heart of the pandemic shutdown. 

All five podcasts are lovely - filled with hope when facing losses, hope nourishing the possibilities of life, the layers of hope and hope driving change!

May you find hope in all of your holiday celebrations,

Nonna
