There are big things happening. Quietly, deliberately, slowly... but still... hope floats.

It is easy for all of us to lose sight of hope in dark times. I don’t care if you have to creep and claw your way forward. Even if it is just one tiny baby step at a time... still brings

forward momentum which is the precursor to genuine hope.

If you’re still squinting in the dark trying to see the light, find any opportunity you can to create hope through progress. Even if it’s just the first line of the book you’re writing, the first mile of the marathon, or

planning a weekend off for a staycation. Anything. No matter how small. If it creates forward movement or hope for you... do it. Do it now.

We all need mileposts and baby steps. I’m forcing myself to be very intentional about leaving breadcrumbs for myself... planting little

seeds of forward progress and hope that will grow into huge game changers down the road, I hope. And even if they don’t, at least they provided a glimmer of light in darkness. And that is a worthy outcome too.

Whatever it is that helps you take one more step in the right

direction, even if it seems small, do that thing. You deserve it. You are worthy. Time to start outlining the next chapter, y’all.
