never lose hope

It's really hard to still have hope when you're struggling through one of life's darkest moments...when you're fighting to protect yourself + your children, when you're surviving through an ugly divorce, when you're searching for a job.

In the past month, I've had to make a conscious effort to reach for hope, grab on to it + hold on for dear life. But you know what? Although it may have been only the tiniest pinpoint of light...it was always there.

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tunes without the words -
And never stops - at all.

~ Emily Dickenson
