This holiday season, my wish for us is hope. Not a passive kind of hope that enables us to sit around waiting for good things to happen, but an active, passionate kind of hope that inspires us to make good things happen for ourselves and for others. In the statement, “I hope…,” it is important to remember hope is the verb, an action word. To hope is a courageous choice. May we have the courage to take action inspired by hope, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
