Women of Conviction: "Hope Works"

Life is unpredictable. Once in a while, everything is instantly turned upside down. When it happens to you, what do you do? Do you give up hope that you can survive this crisis, or do you fight back with the conviction that you will do the best you can under the circumstances? Do you let other people’s negative actions and words pull you down, or do you let other people’s positive acts of kindness help you keep going and give you hope?

When I recently went to our church’s website, which I do often to get a spiritual uplift, I saw a touching video called, “Divine by Design—Lessons Learned from Washing Hair.” This short, remarkable video brought me great hope in the kindness of humanity and in the unconquerable will of the human spirit. I encourage you to watch this video and share it with your family and friends.

Divine by Design—Lessons Learned from Washing Hair: Jodi Orgill Brown was living her dream white-picket-fence life when doctors discovered a brain tumor. In her recovery, she learned that every interaction strengthens or weakens. You are divine by design, she says.

My wish is that we will all recognize our own divinity and see the divinity in others. A smile, a friendly word, or a small, kind deed can bring renewed hope to someone and help them get through another day.

Hope.
We all need it.
Let’s all share it!
