Hope is a beautiful thing. It gives us strength to endure and persist. It illuminates our paths and dreams. It drives us to forgive, forget, and heal from wounds and scars given to us as we live. To move forward and see the potential in ourselves and those around us. Hope, is a beautiful and powerful force that lives within each of us, and it must be cultivated, nurtured, and sometimes fought for with every aspect of our being.

For me, hope has brought me through many a dark time and place. It is my guiding light and principle, to hold hope for myself, family and friends, and all people, that no matter what the obstacle you face, hope will give you the strength to endure and reach out for help. That, is my hope.
