Hope lives inside of me. I get up each day looking toward new possibilities. Not to be ‘be good’ or ‘do better’ but to surrender to the amazing person I am and what I might create with a deep appreciation of all that is abundant in me. I take small movements toward my dreams and with each little step find open doors and opportunities. I believe in the power of perspective and positive outlook. I choose to live into today with hope in my heart.

This Abundantly Delicious Life 
Did you know that HOPE is one of the four things that followers need from leaders? http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/113542/what-followers-want-from-leaders.aspx and not only are you giving it to others as a great leader, you cultivate it within else it is not authentic. So keep going, girlfriend!
Hey, well, I kinda got that idea – our very own Ginni Rometty says, “A leader’s job is to paint reality and give hope.” Thanks for celebrating the hope that I cultivate in myself and thus try to offer to others. There’s so much hunger for light and possibility – let’s point the way, my friend, my co-conspirator in making the world a greater place.
This article and some others by you we wanted to bring our readers to consider. You can find also the same background used in our article: “There can only be hope when there is a will to be and say “I am”” (2014/12/06)
I am honored that you referenced my mantra in your post. Thank you for sharing. I love how we are spreading light together and in our own unique ways.
