Hope and Curiosity EP 40

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/03/12

Hope and curiosity share a special connection. Both look at the unknown with a sense of anticipation rather than fear. While hope helps us envision a better future, curiosity helps us check out the pathways that might lead us there. Curiosity keeps hope honest. It asks the essential questions: How might this work? What haven't we considered? Where else might we look? Who knows more about this than me? Do I know someone who can help? Without a curios approach hope can become wishfulness that doesn't

Hope and Creativity EP 39

Hope and creativity share a profound connection because they both require us to imagine what doesn't yet exist. When we create, we bring something new into the world; when we hope, we envision a future different from today.Creativity gives hope its form and substance. Through art, innovation, and problem-solving, we take things that can feel abstract and make them tangible. The painter captures the light on single flower, the write brings a loveable character to life, the entrepreneur designs new

Rebooting Hope EP 38

2025/03/10

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott When our world seems full of challenges and uncertainty, hope can feel like something that once ran smoothly but has mysteriously crashed. Because hope isn't simply optimism or wishful thinking; it's the engine that powers meaningful change and resilience. Like restarting a computer, we sometimes need to pause, clear our mental cache, and intentionally choose to begin again. Rebooting hope begins with

Ripples of Hope EP 37

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/03/07

Hope begins as a small spark within us - it's a belief that better days are possible. There's also an energy surrounding hope that extends beyond ourselves. I have always considered hope as a solitary mission - something that's personal and up to me to choose and to nurture. That still feels right to me but I've also seen the effects of hope - and its impact extends far beyond its origin.

Choosing Hope Over Fear EP 36

2025/03/06

"We choose hope over fear. We see the future not as something out of our control, but as something we can shape for the better through concerted and collective effort.Those words were part of a speech given by President Obama at the UN general assembly in 2014. He went on to talk about how there are a number of things in the world that make us worry if we are safe, and if we can pull together to affect change. What really hit me as I read the entire speech was how we seem to be in the same place,

Here in Ohio, it's still cold but the days are longer and we've seen the sun a bit lately so it feels safe to think of spring.My good friend Teresa is an amazing gardener. It's one of her passions. She plans her vegetable and flower gardens and every year take joy in tending to and then harvesting and enjoying what she's grown. But it starts with planting seeds. That's a hopeful act -isn't it? Planting seeds, giving them water and sunlight and hoping they grow - is a blend of knowing what to do -

Hope With No Agenda EP 34

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/03/04

I was fortunate to go on a business retreat recently and one of the things that I came away with was the idea of no agenda. Not the meeting agenda but the "no agenda" idea that sometimes I can do things just because. Because it feels right in the moment, or because it makes me happy, or because it's something I like to do. In the business sense I recognized that I can share things that are helpful to others w/o agenda - no expectation of making a sale, or building my list - just being helpful

Borrowing Hope EP 33

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/03/03

Sometimes, we can’t find hope within ourselves—but that doesn’t mean we have to go without it. Borrowing hope means you can lean on the belief, encouragement, and vision of others when our own feels out of reach. That might look like the friend who reminds you of your strength, the mentor who sees your potential, or the community that uplifts you when you’re struggling.

Resources for Hope EP 31

Today I want to share a few resources that I find hopeful. There's a lot going on in the world at large and most of us are doing the best we can to make good choices and decisions for ourselves and our families today.Big problems require big solutions and there are times when I feel like nothing I do will really matter. Except it does. We have evidence that when we do what we can to stay grounded and hopeful we find solutions and resources and people who can help. Here are a few that are helping me

Conditions of Hope EP 30

2025/02/26

One of the things I like best about the idea of holding hope and being hopeful is that it can exist in less-than-favorable conditions. Hope doesn't require perfection or ease or a plan. In fact, when none of those things are around - that's when hope is most helpful. Today I'm covering few examples that came to mind for me when i was thinking about how hope can co-exist with all manner of circumstances.

The Infinite Game of Hope EP 29

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/02/25

I've been thinking about the infinite nature of hope. We all see and experience the world through our own lens after all, but I do think hope is one of those universal truths – one of those things that transcends culture, time and space and everything that makes us all unique humans.In that way hope is for all of us, everywhere, in any circumstance. What does it mean to share hope as a resource that can be used again and again like a treasured family recipe, handed down so that others will never

When Hope Feels Risky EP 28

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/02/24

Hope is a risk because it's a choice. It's choosing to move forward when we'd rather quit. It's asking for help when we'd rather not. It's saying I'm worth it when the world wants us to devalue ourselves. It's risky to want things, to hope for a better tomorrow, to have faith that things can improve. Because they might not. We aren't guaranteed anything in this life - even tho we'd like to think so. One of the biggest obstacles to hope is the belief that things will always be the way they are right

Hope and Asking for Help EP 27

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/02/21

Why is it so hard for us to admit we need help now and then? Is it a woman thing? I don't think so. I know plenty of men who would rather struggle for hours on something before asking for help. It may be a bit of an American thing. After all, part of being an American is the belief that we can do anything, accomplish anything if we just try hard enough. But we know that effort alone isn't always enough. This concept has always frustrated me. I'm willing to work hard and learn new things, take risks,

Hope and Advocacy EP 26

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/02/20

What does it mean to be an advocate? How can self-advocacy help us? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Today I see information related to advocacy around things both political and cause related. At it's essence it's taking a stand for myself, for others, for a cause I care about and it's a way to engage with our world. Big problems often require complex solutions that aren't black and white. The things that can't be solved with a checklist of tasks. At times that can make us feel that

Hope and Your Tomorrow Self EP 25

2025/02/19

What would your tomorrow self think about what you are doing (or not doing) today? today? That perspective is helpful for me especially when I'm avoiding a task or project that needs my focus and attention. Sometimes it's little things too. Like emptying the dishwasher. I don't know why I avoided this but a I did and then a couple years ago, I had something heating in the microwave for a couple minutes and decided to deal with putting the clean dishes away and I completed the task in less time than

Hope and the Kindness of Strangers EP 24

Car trouble when I was away from home meant I needed to ask for help. Thankfully, there were people who did and who showed concern and kindness in what would have been a much more stressful moment. Their kindness brought me hope and made me think about my own willingness to be helpful and what it means to befriend a stranger if even for a few minutes.

Hope and Affirmations EP 23

2025/02/17

A few days ago I talked about the idea of a bucket of hope - things we carry with us to help us stay hopeful on the days when you need a little help. A friend mentioned that affirmations do that for her. I wanted to know more since that's not something I've really used.Here's what I've learned: Neuroplasticity, or your brain’s ability to adapt to different circumstances throughout life, is part of why affirmations can work. You've likely heard how our brain doesn't differentiate between reality and
