Day of Hope
Quote: “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” – Desmond Tutu
Welcome! Thank you for being here and spending your quality time reading this. A day of hope is about taking back your life and finding forgotten hope using only one day a month.
A day of hope is one day, or a full 24 hours, for you. Yes, just you. A day to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and however you want. On this one day you get to choose everything. You get to oversee what you do. You don’t have to worry about what anyone else wants or what anyone else thinks you should do. One full day to fuel up on what you want and need. It may not sound like a lot at first, but it’s likely more than you already get!
There are 365 days in a year – and you are choosing 12. You can put a lot of thought into it, or none at all. You just need one day a month to spend doing what you want to do and what fuels your fire, even if you do not know what it is yet. It will transform your life and fill it with hope and love for yourself. It will give you the tools to be the best person you want to be.

Highway Theme
I will use the analogy of a highway. This is the Highway of Hope. Think about when you are driving down a highway and you can’t see where the road goes. You can’t see more than two hundred feet in front of you. You may not see where your interchange is or where the road leads. You have hope and a little faith to know the road is there - you just keep driving. You don’t second guess yourself or talk yourself out of it - you just keep driving. If the GPS says you are on the right road, you must be right - you just keep driving. It’s the same for life.
We all deserve to devote time to our own healing and explore loving ourselves. We would not be on this planet if we weren’t meant to accomplish something. We are all meant to be something no matter how big or small. We are all meant for our own individual greatness so let’s get started. Let’s get this vehicle on the road.
On the highway of hope, you take several different Interchanges along the way, but you will always want to stay on your own highway of hope. Don’t look back in the rear-view mirror. Stay on your one-way highway.
I have incorporated my days of hope in the blog section so you can see my personal stories and pictures to go along with them. Enjoy!
There is a process I use when teaching about the day of hope and how to incorporate it in your life.
I use the word H.O.P.E as follows:
Happy – Figure out the items and things that bring you joy and make you happy when doing them.
Open – Be open on all aspects. Open to possibilities, open to dreaming big, open to trying new things, and even open to barriers and obstacles and breaking through them.
Passion – What are you passionate about and how do you get there? What are your life goals and dreams? What are you willing to do to keep your passion in the forefront and not the rear-view mirror?
Empower – Empower yourself to love yourself, love your life, and take back control.
You Are Worth IT!
Before I take you on this journey of hope, let’s get past this hurdle. You need to hear “you” are worth it. That’s all. “You” are worth it now, even before you begin. No explanation needed. I am saying “you” are worth it. I give you permission to find time for “YOU”. Done. One of my biggest hurdles was realizing I was worth it. Before I moved forward, I had to give myself permission. I did not feel worthy of having a great life or feel I was worth it.
