I LOVE a good to-do list. Maybe a little bit too much. I often create lists to help me get all the things out of my brain and into some kind of list that I can then see clearly. 

What’ important? What can what? What do I need help with? 

A good list can help you see what’s possible too. Not just things to do but things to appreciate and enjoy. 

That’s the inspiration for this episode: I’m sharing a hope-to-do list. 

Notice small joys. That morning light, the laughter, the kindness, hope grows in the ordinary moments we choose to see.

Speak encouragement, to yourself and others. Hope multiplies when it’s shared out loud.

Rest. Hope isn’t about endless hustle. It’s the quiet trust that things will unfold, even when we pause.

Stay curious. Ask what if it works out? instead of assuming it won’t.

Create something. A note, a meal, a plan, a dream. Creation is hope made visible.

Reach out. Hope thrives in connection, in a text, a smile, or a “thinking of you.”

Remember what you’ve overcome. You’ve already walked through hard things and found your way forward. That’s living proof of hope.

Believe in better days. Not because everything is easy, but because hope insists that better is still possible.

✨ Keep this list where you’ll see it often. Hope isn’t a feeling we wait for — it’s a practice we choose, one small action at a time.
