Our lessons in life

 
Embrace the journey.

 There will be times...
 
you'll experience fear, struggle, loss,

but you will also know hope, love, joy.

Open your arms to all life offers.

 Trust there is wisdom in all your lessons.

Let go of doubt, worry, insecurity...

Don't play life safe.
 
Be willing to risk everything...
 
to fulfill your dreams.

My heart knows there's a blind...
 spot in every leap of faith;
a sheer panic as the last brick tumbles.
At that moment, the space between...
 is when we are completely vulnerable.
There's nothing left...
 except to completely surrender.

Kristen Jong

Faith is the daring of the soul...
 to go farther than it can see.

  1. Hello Debbie, I lost my husband after Thanksgiving and just found your blog. I want to tell you what a blessing it is to me. To see you so strong in your faith after all that you have gone through encourages me. Thank-you

    1. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Know that grief will either harden your heart or soften it. Chose to let it soften you. Life is always changing...often without our permisssion. Feel your grief...honor your feelings...know that your heart will heal one day. And the memory of your husband will live on...forever and ever.
      P.S. I love your name - Hope...a nice reminder
