Hope Has Wings

Here’s Something To Feel Good About Today!

“Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.”
Emily Dickinson, poet (1830-1886)

When I knew my first marriage was over I could not yet envision the life I would create for myself and I felt hopeless. Then I made the decision that I would not only survive, I would thrive. One day at a time, I created a plan and slowly forged a path toward a brighter future.

Some situations may appear hopeless, but I believe that new possibilities always exist, waiting to be discovered in the shadows. For those times when I can’t feel hope’s presence, I reach out to a friend to help lift my spirits until I can rediscover it again for myself.

If you or someone you know is struggling through a difficult time, remember that where there is life there is always hope. Can you remember a time when things seemed bleak and what you did to rise above that adversity? Sharing your story might be just what someone else needs to give them hope today.

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more.

Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
