Hope

“Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”

Helen Keller

Hope enables us to achieve the impossible, it enables us to see what might otherwise become obscured when dark clouds gather.

And it is not pessimistic or fatalistic to acknowledge how chill we feel under the darkening cloud of Brexit and the imminent presidency of Trump. It’s realistic.

It’s a call to action.

Active hope demands that we live with courage, compassion and commitment to progress. Nurturing openness and connection creates space to breath. Embracing uncertainty while acting with optimism reveals infinite possibilities.

#HopeInAction2017 is the banner around which I will be active in pursuit of my aspiration and goals for the new year. To make a difference, to be guided by the activists of the past who fought to establish rights upon which I, my children and my grandchild stand with dignity and agency.

Merry Xmas!

Happy New Year!
