Hope Lights the Way

Fear is ever present in our day.

When we choose to trust ourselves wholeheartedly, we can begin to move through fear.

Sometimes our trust is tested. Sometimes our trust falters.

Worry seeps in its place.

What brings us back to our sense of trust is hope.

Hope that our current situation will shift and we will expand and the transitions in life will come to pass.

Hold on to hope. It will bring you back to trust so you can push through your fear again.

Learning and growing stretches us and our dogs.

Giving up isn’t an option. Precious lives are at stake.

Lean into trusting yourself so hope can light your way.

Fear then will become something that doesn’t paralyze you, but strengthens your belief within yourself.
