The Power of Belonging and Why it Matters EP 127

2025/07/15

I recently attended a gathering with a group of women I didn’t know, except for the organizer, whom I had only met once before. There were about 12 to 15 of us, all gathered to hear a Ukrainian immigrant share her story about her life before coming to the U.S., her journey here, and what life looks like now.It was honest, moving, and empowering. What struck me most wasn’t just her story, but how engaged and curious everyone was. I found myself nodding along, not just to her words, but to the

Hope is Leaving the World a Bit Better Than Before EP...

2025/07/14

I was reminded of that today by this quote from Jim Henson: “My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.” It’s simple. Not flashy or grand. Just better. A bit better. That kind of hope doesn’t demand we change everything, but it does invite us to do something: Be a little kinder. Speak up when it’s easier to stay quiet. Listen more. Share more. Care more. Hope doesn’t need a headline. It needs a heartbeat. So today, maybe that “bit better” is offering someone

Thoughts About Hope: Reflections From Seth Godin’s...

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/07/11

In Seth Godin's view, being "hardwired for hope" means that humans have an inherent, biological predisposition to anticipate a positive future and believe in the possibility of improvement, even in challenging circumstances. In his book, This Is Strategy, talks about how it's not just wishful thinking, but a fundamental part of our nature that drives us to act, create, and strive for a better outcome, even when facing uncertainty. He also shares that anecdotes are not data for making decisions,

The Kindness That Kept Me Going EP 123

A few days ago, a stranger reminded me how powerful a small act of kindness can be.I was walking in the park, and honestly, I was struggling. I’d overheated, was nearly out of water, and had to stop and catch my breath in a bit of shade. That’s when she noticed me, paused her walk, and asked if I was okay. She encouraged me to rest, offered a few kind words, and even gave me a little pep talk: “You’re here. You showed up. That’s something to be proud of.” And you know what? It was exactly what I

I've seen some posts suggesting day drinking to deal with today's news, and I want to offer some suggestions for how to get through today if you don't want to drink, or use drugs.

The Day Before Vacation Slow Down EP 119

Years ago I heard Zig Ziglar talk about the day before vacation. That’s what today feels like if you’re here in the US. It’s the day before Independence day, July 4 and since it falls on a Friday this year, it’s a long weekend opportunity. So, today feels like the day before vacation. The day I want to get all the things done before the holiday arrives. What if, instead of treating the day before vacation like a productivity sprint, we treated it like the beginning of our break? What if we

You know that feeling? The sudden dread when you’re waiting for test results or when your boss calls an unexpected meeting or maybe when a treasured relationship starts to shift. That knot in your stomach or tightness in your chest? Anxiety shows up when we worry things are going to change. We think if we could just keep everything the same, we’d be safe. The real danger isn’t the change itself; it is the energy we waste worrying about what might or might not happen. The true enemy is our own

When things are uncertain, and the world feels crazy and surreal it’s okay to be happy and joyful and want nice things. Novelist and poet MaryAnne Evans put it this way: We can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them. We can’t give up. I feel lucky that I have days that are full of nice moments when I can feel at ease in the world. It reminds me to be grateful for what I have and

In the same way a museum curator carefully selects, arranges, and preserves pieces that tell a meaningful story, curating hope is the intentional gathering of moments, stories, experiences.
