December 31 – Core Story. What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.)
At the core of me is simply unconditional hope. I’m not sure where in my life hope became such a central part of my core being but I pretty much live and breathe it. I have hope in others, even when they don’t have any in themselves, I have hope in myself – that I can be better & do better and I have hope that the best is yet to come.
Sometimes I think hope has manifested in my heart specifically to share it with others. As I watch friends and family go through the ups and downs of life, I love when they come to me to talk about it. It gives me the opportunity to try and put hope in their hearts and even if they can’t find hope in the situation, I know that I have enough hope for the both of us.
I have to confess though, before Reverb10, I had lost a little hope in my writing abilities. I started this project on a bit of a whim - the concept was intriguing and I definitely always love a good challenge. I had put an end to my blog a few months prior, and I really closed myself off from writing in general. But as time went on, and I was presented with more and more prompts, I realize Reverb10 has given me the desire to write again. Hope has been restored in my writing capabilities and for that, I am truly grateful.
Happy New Year and thank you, Reverb10!
