Hold on to Hope...

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

As we live amidst a pandemic that impacts us all, we know what it is to suffer loss and to cope with sudden changes. We need to have hope that life will get better.

Hope is a powerful force and probably the most important factor when it comes to overcoming life’s biggest challenges. Without it, we would feel as though we had lost our life's purpose and the world would seem grey and devoid of color.

When you hope, things are more likely to turn out the way you want them to. That's because you’re willing to do what is required to make it happen.

I hope the quotes below help you get through a challenging time and at least provide a bit of inspiration. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Hang in there - have hope!

Much love. 🌾🌹
