Wow. This is an awful lot more difficult than I expected it to be. “Blog” they said. How hard could it be? All the cool kids were doing it … or so it seemed.
I HAD NO IDEA.
I don’t even know if you’ll see this. Or what it will look like once you finally do. It is my hope with this blog to eventually move away from FB and find a nice quiet place to share my thoughts, my journey, my photos, my stories. Join me. Because I’m sure I’ll miss you.
I’ll eventually get to the background of who I am and why I’m here ( on this blog, not this earth, because I still have no idea why that is.) but I just want to make certain I’m getting this all where it belongs first. Oh, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hope~Thus the ‘all sorts of Hope’. I’m going to give you all sorts of me. The good, the bad, the happy and the sad. The fun, the grumpy, the healthy and sadly , the sick. I’ll give you my time and my talent and, naturally, all sorts of my hope(s).
Feel free to post all your tacky little Hope jokes too, I’ve heard them all and rarely are they punny. I’m sure my mother didn’t realize when she named me that she gave men the opportunity at some of the *worst* pick up lines ever.
On another note, I do , however love a good hope quote- those you are more than welcome to share. I’ll share ’em too.
In the mean time… here’s a little known “hope” fact.. I borrowed it from Wikipedia. and you know if it’s on wiki, it must be true. 😉
Hope can first be seen in ancient Greek mythology with the story of Zeus and Prometheus. Prometheus stole fire from the god Zeus, which infuriated the supreme god. In turn, Zeus created a box that contained all manners of evil, unbeknownst to the receiver of the box. Pandora opened the box after being warned not to, and those evils were released into the world; hope, which lay at the bottom of the box, remained. This is the beginning of the tale of hope.
And so it is….your beginning to the tale of Hope

Good for you Hope – you’re the star that I always knew you were! Keep up the good work; I’ll be sure to follow you from afar!

That story at the end gave me goosebumps. I think this is a good idea. Love you, Tracie
That is a terrific photo of you Hope! But then again I have a thing for redheads. My wife is a redhead. 😀 😎
Great idea for a blog too!
Thank you Mr Lanoue. I have a very gifted photographer friend. He makes me look quite good. Your nature action shots are simply beyond phenomenal (but I guess you know that!) I kept thinking that you must have the patience of a saint! But now that you’ve revealed you are married to a fellow red head, that explains everything…..
Let your blogging experience be the kind one always remember!
By the authority invested in me, I hereby nominate you for the “Beautiful Blogger Award.” See the details on my blog post.
Mr Wigington,
Thank you ever so much! I am indeed honored and can’t wait to share this with the people I get to pass it on to! I have just popped in the house between baseball and homecoming. I want to devote the time and attention to this entry that it deserves but didn’t want you to feel like I was not acknowledging you.
You warmed my heart today , on a day that it truly needed it.
Be happy, be well, be safe, be loved.
~ Hope
It would be difficult not to make a terrific shot of such a charming and beautiful lady! 🙂
Thank you Alex, how kind of you to say. Looking forward to reading more of your blog.

I certainly “hope” to read more. It may be difficult, but you have a knack for this blogging thing.
Wow, can’t wait to read more from you
Congrats on your site Hope. I had no idea you had this going on…wow. I’m quite impressed. Your stories are those that should be in inspirational literature. Please, let’s talk again soon. It’s been far too long.
A beautiful shot of a beautiful lady.
