Hope’s passion was evidenced as she penned her first poem when she was five (5) years of age. She is the author of “To Encourage You: Poems, Inspirational Writings and Affirmations”. Hope was also privileged to serve as co-author of the book: “A Reason To Be”. A favorite quote found on her blog site is “Don’t be fooled by the fragile and peaceful presentation of a butterfly. It had to go through a life-threatening process so it could show it’s beauty”. Life’s process has caused the beauty of encouragement and inspiration to be released in Hope’s writings.
