I remember very clearly the day I recognized I got my hope\nback. It was a totally innocuous moment\u2026driving to the grocery store, turning\nleft at the lights near our house. I remember looking ahead at the cars coming\nthe other direction but not really looking\u2026focusing on some place in the distance\nwith dizzy vision. I don\u2019t even know what particular thought was the one that\nbrought hope to the surface for me\u2026just that it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first response was to call my closest friend \u2013 the only\none, at this time, that knew what was going on for me and my family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got her voicemail. As I usually do. She and I have our\nbest conversations as long winded messages left on each other\u2019s voicemail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJanellie!\u201d, I proclaim, \u201cI found it! Hope! I got it\nback! Did you know I\u2019d lost it?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three minutes of fast-talking later, a conceptual-thinking-induced\npurge of thoughts left my head and into the electronic black hole and I felt\npeaceful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopeful. Truly hopeful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, my thoughts went to \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d; \u201cNow what?\u201d;\n\u201cWhat do I do with this<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out this<\/em>\u2026Expert in Hope\u2026is what I do with it. But that\u2019s a story for another time (or you can just read it on my About<\/a> page 😊).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point of this<\/em>\nstory, though\u2026is don\u2019t ignore those innocuous moments. People talk about a\nflash of lightening, an epiphany, a bolt of inspiration\u2026I don\u2019t think these\nmoments have to be as dramatic as that but pay attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then action it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again \u2013 doesn\u2019t have to be dramatic action. Could be a\nphone call to a friend, a conversation with your boss or coach, intentional\ntime spent with your child\u2026or quitting your job to start an entrepreneurial\nventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s about action and intention and expectation of a positive\nfuture result\u2026hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
