Whatever You Do
Hold onto hope. The tiniest thread will twist into an unbreakable cord. Let hope anchor you in the possibility that this is not the end of your story, that change will bring you to peaceful shores.
Here are two women who will make you believe in hope, and better yet, give you courage to trust. That you will not be found foolish for believing. That you will not be disappointed anytime you give your heart over to goodness, to love.
Fatou and Masahwa, today I am honored to know you both. I feel incredibly thankful for your friendship and all the ways you have patiently helped me understand both my role and my invitation to see Africa with the eyes of a lover. I am forever in your debt.

What beautiful women, you can see the strength,love and courage in their eyes. I have been praying for Odettes daughter, Jen, I keep up to date via Meg. Love the ‘Hold onto Hope’ section at the top of the post, just beautiful, I am going to keep that on my fridge so I can be reminded each day. Ok that’s all from me except to send my love, take good care Jen B xxx

What a beautiful portrait of those beautiful women! I’m still in awe of that article. I’ve printed it and have been reading it over and over again. there’s something so..so magical about it. I can’t quit grasp it.
Hold on to Hope, yes let’s do that!
With love,
