A Sample Story

The Lantern

An old Quaker woman was once asked how she stayed hopeful in dark times. She said: 'I keep a lantern lit. Not because I see far. Just because I want to see the next step.'

A Reflection

Hope is not optimism. Optimism says, 'It will be fine.' Hope says, 'I will keep walking.'

A few honest words: This journal is not therapy. It is not a substitute for medication, for a doctor, for a therapist, or for the love of people who know your name. It is a small companion for the moments in between.
