Dear Friends,
As you know, there are many levels of hope - from a young child's wish on the first star at dusk to a sage's depth of wisdom about hope.
Every level of this wondrous gift is in you.
May hope delight you when you make birthday wishes and lift your spirts when you wish for good weather, convenient parking spaces, wins for your favorite team - all the little things many of us wish for during ordinary days and nights.
May hope soothe our pains, comfort our losses, soften our worries, and nurture our dreams, too.
When needed, may hope spring from our souls to help us trust that there is, indeed, meaning and purpose in happenings that seem to make no sense.
May hope from every depth come to you when you need it to survive, to thrive, and to live life with love, gratitude, and joy.
Always,
Charlene
