so many threads of beauty and hope in this letter, Victoria.
Love is the last thing we need to ration in this world.” - Brené Brown, Rising Strong.
Not comparing our suffering but showing love and empathy for ourselves and others.
I don't know how many people have compared their loss to mine. Downplaying their loss like there are levels. Everyone's loss is a tear to their heart and we all feel it profoundly.
Hope has been on my mind and I wrote about it in November that Hope is a prelude to Gratitude. If we strive for hope, then gratitude is the gift.
Thanks, yeaaahhh - curiously identifying hopeful 'could happens' feels more comfortable than forcing optimism...but who knows!? Humaning is hard...but I think Pandora would agree, finding hope is helpful!
Beautiful read on this Thanksgiving morning, Victoria💛 Messages I needed. Just when you think the weariness is about to pass…an avalanche. But, hope is the calm that comes, with shovels ready to clear away all the things. Appreciate your letter🙏🏼
Hi Hon, Thanks for reading (I hadn't realised how long it'd become!), I count my blessings...and yet there's something that can weigh us down, it's partly the grief we carry, but sometimes it's thinking someone else needs more kindness than we do...hence my meditation on hope, my usual journaling brought the poem.
There was a beautiful synchronicity with Christine's article - you'll see a poem there, from which I resonated with the phrase 'Gravity begins falling inside you'...
So I'm glad my letter arrived when you needed it. Bless synchronicity and good karma! xo

Hope and gratitude as the gift, resonates, Janine. Thank you. It's the season to pause and meditate on both with friends.❤️
🤗 good old scarcity mentality! Gets us so often into a state of panic and despondency. But thank you for your lovely messages to counter this. ❤️
Hi Atreyee, yes! Thanks for reading and commenting.
These lines are everything Victoria:
“Perhaps it doesn’t have to be miraculous or something big
Can we hope that hope’s still here?
I can still feel hope
The crescendo of its potential
and fear the loss of it.”
