I have found lately that HOPE is palpable.
What is it? Why is it such a strong force?
How does it show up in our lives?
I can only speak to my realizations and those of some of my clients and friends but really… I picked up the newspaper today and I saw hope.

I see and hear people shifting their consciousness from desperation and divisiveness born out of fear to hope and a belief in the possibility that comes with naming what is good in all of us and working together to fix what isn’t.
Because of hope.
No matter what the personal belief system is, hope allows us all to find something good and true.
I hate to belabor the COVID experience but mine interested me because it was like having a dark cloud hanging over me for a while.
It seems like a dark cloud has been hanging over our society for a while.
What I noticed when it began to lift was that I hadn’t known just how gloomy it was. It was like having a gray filter in front of my eyes and then suddenly it cleared. I could see the sun.
It felt that way today as I listened to people speaking, read the newspaper, and saw a different bounce in people’s steps.
A new energy seems to be taking hold in people’s interest and participation in our country.
Hope.
I’m glad the fog is lifting enough to see some sunlight. Hope is a great energizer.
