Hope for the Next Step

365 Days of Inspiration and Encouragement

A year of daily inspiration and encouragement, written for the reader who needs enough light for the next step — not the whole staircase.

Overview

A year of daily inspiration and encouragement, written for the reader who needs enough light for the next step — not the whole staircase.

Why I wrote this

Hope is rarely delivered in one dramatic moment. It arrives in small daily portions, and this book was built to hand over one portion at a time.

A year of daily encouragement gathered from the letters, calls, and conversations of people who needed one honest sentence to begin the day with.

An Excerpt

Hope is not optimism with better manners. Hope is the decision to take one more step while the outcome is still unproven.
