I created the following pages in September, using a comment written by Maria, from Enermazing, the blog Creating the Life You Want...a comment she wrote on the blog Mirth and Motivation.
I’ve posted these pages before, but I see that “hope” is featured as a weekly photo topic…and so I thought I might add my own version of ….. “Hope”

I think that the words and ideas that Maria wrote
are so beautiful, so supportive, so nurturing and so encouraging…

And here is Maria’s “poem” about Hope, presented as a video…with music, which was suggested by Maria….separated by line…….such lovely ideas…

And so the beauty of what we all offer to each other….
hope and all of her siblings…
her large and loving family…
as we live our daily lives….
as we connect and relate….
as we sense the sadness and need in others….
as we offer hope and all of her siblings
to ourselves and those around us….
may we live each and every one of our days
giving and receiving hope with bountiful goodness…
And so….
this is a “hope” that I have…

Note: I haven’t seen posts by Maria in several months…has anyone heard from her?

Thank you Nancy…. I’ve received wonderful support at times when I was feeling less hopeful…and hopefully we all pass hope along to others…Maria was actually remarkably encouraging when I was just starting to get my feet under me with blogging…a very special person.

What a beautiful concept of hope coming from a large family, and the presentation with the white heart and the colors made the message moving for me. Thanks for this Kathy, I don’t think I will forget hope and all its’ siblings.

I like that way Maria added those other qualities that contribute to and support the development and sustenance of “hope”…I think it helps “hope” seem more attainable or possible by seeing those components. Thank you for your comment….
