Thanks & Giving, even during Questionable Times
“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!…

In the face of Fear, let Faith & Gratitude guide you!
Hey y’all, it’s me, Hope! In the face of so much unfolding with COVID 19, I have to send out a little Hopeservations message of faith and gratitude to my beloved readers and the Universe! So here is a thought for today… Today is March 24th and our entire nation is moving forward through these days of uncertainty…and my one little ‘ole sole (soul) self am no different! I am incredibly grateful and thankful for all my blessings and even the blessings that come to me in a backwards manner. Only not everyone looks a life similarly. After all, on this day, when concerns are heightened about these events and…

Dear Loved Ones!
“There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” — Ralph H. Blum Hi y’all, it’s me, Hope and I have to send out a little Hopeservations message of thanks to all my loved ones and the Universe! Here it is July 25th and the birthday wishes, comments, emails, direct messages, texts, calls, cards and LOVE keep coming my way! Just yesterday I received a dear gift because some Bunny loves me very much! It was a writing journal with personalized scripture on each page. Since last Thursday night, I have been delightfully spoiled with these little surprises! Each gift has been a token from the…

Gratitude From a Southern Latitude
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Hey y’all, Hope here…another day & another Hopeservation, only this one is about a topic that I hold very near and dear to my heart and I would be so grateful if you take the time to read and consider it. In fact, this Hopeservation is about the vital importance of just that…GRATITUDE. So I first wrote a piece about gratitude back in January 2018, not because it was the first time I had ever thought about it or even written about it! Heck, I often post lists of things I am grateful for on my social media’s! Yet, I…

2019 is Here and I did a Thing!
2019 is here, and I did a thing! Firstly, I would like to wish you all a joyous New Year, full of peace and happiness. How about 2018?! It was quite the awesome ride and am I forever thankful! Thankful for the many new friends I met along the way and the true friendships and family I’ve come to appreciate more and more. Thankful for God, the Universe and all we are blessed with every day. I look back over the year with happiness and fulfillment, despite the ever present hard lessons that insert themselves along the way. Yes, there are bumps and bruises every year but much progress is…

Thanks Giving Every Day
“We all want to live a happy life, so we have to learn to live together in trust and mutual respect. We do have differences of race, nationality, religious faith and so on, but these differences are secondary in comparison to our equality in being human.” – Dalai Lama Show gratitude everyday! Be grateful for your friends, loved ones, family and all those in and out of your circle of life…and even when we feel certain we come from a place of “knowing,” refrain from it as it leads to judgement. What appears obvious, might not be what it seems at all. Be kind, rise above… You’ll be glad you…

GRATITUDE
“I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” – PHILIPPIANS 4:12–13 Both days this weekend, I dragged myself out of bed at 5:30AM with a nasty head cold & cough, surveyed the piles of laundry and housework that was going to have to be ignored another day as I packed the necessary items to be at a weekend long volleyball tournament. Yet, rather then getting annoyed or letting all this get to me, as usual I put it…
