Listening to Hope’s Whisper

Shame shouts, “Things will never change. Why even try?”

Shame corrodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change. (Brene Brown)

Shame reminds us every of mistake, every failed attempt, and mocks the idea that we could change.

Hope whispers gently, “Things don’t have to stay the same.”

Hope begins as the first light of dawn, signaling the end of the darkness. Its glow is small at first, but grows brighter and brighter.

Fighting for hope means kicking shame to the curb and moving toward change – one step at a time.
