Give Love a Fighting Chance!
Once upon a time, I happened upon a quick read about how to evolve or remain! I wish I knew who to credit, because it was magic…but it basically went like this… We are all faced with a choice to evolve or remain. We can choose to remain unchanged but in doing so we will forever be presented with the same situations, same routines, same problems, same challenges, same frustrating results. Until (or unless) we learn to love ourselves to the point of saying, “ENOUGH!” and so we begin to change. This creates an opportunity for us to evolve. As we evolve, we connect to the strength within us, which…

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!

So I want to say, “Thank you today and everyday!” because any day you take the few minutes to read what I’ve written – is a special…

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!…

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…

Find Your Place of Balance!
“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,…

Your Journey; Your Way!
Hey there beautiful reader! As usual, I am feeling the love for my fellow human as I rise before the sun, to take up watch at one of my favorite spots along Daytona Beach. Ironically, it is a pretty barren stretch of the beach. If you aren’t paying attention that is. It is located along one of the popular tourist sections of the beach, however if you get there early enough it’s mostly locals only, and the occasional vacationer watching the sunrise. It is one of the older beach accesses that has large wooden poles sunk deep into the sand that creates a divided barrier between the “driving allowed” portion…

Visit Beaufort and Keep The Union Alive
This weekend, I had an opportunity to make a quick get-a-way to Beaufort, SC. Now I had never been to Beaufort before and had no idea how perfectly lovely and what a tidal treasure box this little town was. We stayed in the quaint, historical downtown area, that was extremely walkable and precious at every turn. My eyes enjoyed the sights and my soul soaked in the slow yet sensory rich living I am naturally drawn to. I had an appointment Saturday morning at a local salon, Nail Bar On Bay for a mani/pedi that was a quick two blocks from City Loft Hotel, where we stayed. As an aside,…

Are You A Spiritual Badass!? How do you feel when you hear that? Do you agree, or do you tell yourself all the ways you are not?

Go for the Gold
Hello sweet and beautiful SOUL! It’s your girl Hope and I’m doing what I do…when I do it. Which means continuing my story with beautiful beginnings and setting my heartfelt intentions daily.
