About Hopeservations

Hope + Observations = Hopeservations

Welcome to Hopeservations.

A place to find Hope everyday!

My goal is for this blog to become your retreat. An inviting place for those who appreciate stories about spreading hope and sharing observations as we navigate & digest all the perfectly imperfect aspects of life and the Hopeservations we find in these moments.

What is Hopeservations?

Hopeservations are self reflective nourishments to our soul, ever actualizing healthy habits, and the human desire to connect. It’s mindful, meditative moments that help us grow emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. It’s authentic understanding and transparent vulnerability, that delves in to the human perspective about hope, love, laughter, grace, gratitude, compassion, inspiration, learning to let go, stress relief, pick-me ups, travel, motherhood and various aspects of parenting. It offers balanced insight, practices and thoughtful dialogue for ALL humans looking to relate and feel accepted. Hopeservations are any hopeful observation in life.

Who is Hope?

I am a Florida girl, sports mom, wife, teacher by day, freelance blogger by night, intuitive reader, licensed minister, story teller, Harley rider, work out enthusiast, lover of observations, all things coastal, soulful, spiritual, metaphysical, educational, and being real about being human. I have studied and taught abroad in Brighton, England, as well as in Florida. I have been serving teens and helping families in the field of Special Education and Alternative Education in the Florida Dept of Juvenile Justice since 1994. I hold two degrees, in Early Childhood Education and Special Education specializing in Emotional and Behavioral Disabilities. I specialize in developing behavior intervention plans, IEP’s and assisting teens and their families with transition to the post-secondary world. I was a high school competitive cheer coach before my life as a mom! I am a skilled intuitive reader, utilizing many tools and attend metaphysical fairs around the state of Florida. I have studied and practice TM since I was nine and have continued with that practice off and on my whole life! As a life long learner and teacher, there is nothing I love more than to share all I have learned along the way. One of my greatest joys is working with others to mentor, guide, help develop life plans and truly connect on an authentic level in this journey we call life!

So welcome to Hopeservations, where spreading hope and sharing observations come together to be your, “Place To Find Hope Everyday!”

If you find any of my Hopeservations helpful, inspirational or simply human – please comment, email, Insta, Twitter, Post or Pin about it and feel free to share, Share, SHARE. I look forward to your comments and us connecting!

FOLLOW my social links and SUBSCRIBE because the more HOPE we share, the better!

As always…go in love,

Hope E. ⚓️

    Live Without Limits!

    03/01/2021 /

    The past is gone, that aspect of your life is over, forget about any limiting beliefs associated with your past! Whatever it is, know that you can start again from wherever you are right now. Think about the desired outcome you want for yourself and then decide what you can do from here to achieve that. If you make moves and take action towards the things you want, you will end up more fulfilled than if you spend that energy lamenting over how you wished you’d done things differently from the beginning. Don’t keep rehashing that mental loop. “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start…

    I GOT SUNSHINE IN MY POCKET!

    02/25/2021 /

    Hey my dearest Sunshines!!! My writing often contains souvenirs from my life — a song I have heard, a quote I have read, a bird I have seen, a person I have loved, an adventure or a human experienced I have encountered — which I then write about. …and I am constantly seeking these experiences, however random, abstract, or perhaps extremely concrete… So a couple weekends ago I was staying at my aunt’s in downtown St. Pete. We were there for the Gasparilla Volleyball Tournament in Tampa, Florida — and every year, this is my opportunity to stay with my Aunt DJ. I love staying with her. It’s our little…

    Well, well, well my sweetest SUNSHINES! Happy day today…or any day really!!! So as all y’all (yeah in the south, we say “all y’all”…it’s like the super size of y’all) have probably noticed, I talk about meditation and sunrises and practices and habits a lot and for a reason! I do my morning practice and while I have yet to become some quasi wannabe zen master (although this is an ever evolving process, so keep your eye on this lady)…this girl does speak a little Yoda – so here comes today’s offering! Know that moments of happiness are fleeting. They come and go, and being aware of this actually heightens…

    EMOTIONAL DISTANCING: SEPARATING MYSELF FROM WHO I USED TO BE Amid all this social distancing, (which really should be called physically distancing) I can’t help but think about something that has been transforming in me and created some emotional distancing on my part, from myself…and the effect it has had on the progress of my writing… Can I be transparent? Throughout my years, I generally responded to life based on my emotions. I’ve never been one of those people led strictly by logic. The idea of trusting logic over my own emotion has always been foreign to me. If I am to take any action based solely on the constructed…

    NEWS FLASH: WHATABOUT 2021! HOPE DUE TO EXPLODE WORLDWIDE!

    01/18/2021 /

    I read an amazing story about a “PAY IT FORWARD” circumstance that spontaneously occurred at a Whataburger this past week and it is a GREAT STORY! I have included the link above, so be sure to click and read it because it is proving to me, my theory of 2021 is unfolding as I type!!! I recently wrote and posted a blog about 2021 and in it, I wrote, “I am looking forward to seeing how 2021 continues to blissfully transcend us all.” This was based on a theory I hit upon…and it goes like this… “Yes, there is no escaping how unfortunate 2020 was, and certainly I wasn’t immune…

    Hoping 2021 Continues To Blissfully Transcend Us All

    Good SUNDAY day and end of the first full week of 2021 to my beautiful SUNSHINE SOULS! All you people…you know who you are! The people who are “hope-aholics”and have that special twinkle in their eye! Happy New Year 2021 and Happy New Year to Hopeservations!

    I am Hope, Unbroken and Whole!

    12/31/2020 /

    In the summer of 2009, I began a walk with grief that was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Yes, I had experienced the death of loved ones before and I was not immune to grief, yet those experiences were nothing like this. My world simply went dark and I felt as if I was drowning in my own emotions. What I thought I was equipped to handle, I was in no way prepared to deal with… At the time, I didn’t fully recognize there were things that saved me. My family’s love, my love for them, and my desire to create beautiful moments despite my constant flow of tears.…

    “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.” – Genesis 9:16 Hello beautiful soul…I am forever thankful for you and appreciate all we give to each other, as reader/writer, friend, family, an adored person in my life, and extended circle of my humanity! I was blessed to see this rainbow en route from my current home of Daytona Beach, Florida to my hometown of Dunedin, Florida on this exact day in 2015 and it could not have been a more perfect gesture that Thanks & Giving is indeed God’s way!…

    How I Fell in Love at 50!

    “Life finds its purpose and fulfillment in the expansion of happiness” – Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Hey beautiful soul, it’s me – Hope and I’m sending you all my love and blessings on this gorgeous morning as you hopefully read along… So guess what…I certainly was not looking and as a result, I never expected I would fall in love again. I truly didn’t see it coming. I had my sunrises, long walks, my Transcendental Meditation, reading my daily word and so many of my own studies & practices that brought me joy, balance and fulfillment. What more could I possibly need in my self development? I was happy and hopeful…only…

    “Finding balance is the key in our life” – Jan Jansen So it’s a big hello from my being to yours as I sit by the edge of the ocean marveling at life and thinking about the many different sides of Hope that make me, ME! We all have so many different sides to ourselves! All these variations and nuances that depending on the role in the moment, come to play. Some we embrace more readily and others we navigate carefully, some we happily show off and other bits we may not feel so great about. We hear it all the time…how being a mom, wife, friend, professional, home maker,…
