The Mindset of Hope
Everyone needs someone in their life who can speak a positive word to their situation…whatever it may be. I’m blessed to have such a person, a BFF I’ve known since childhood. I can always count on her to make me laugh, and lately I’ve taken notice of something else she’s great at: having the mindset…

Finding Hope in the Negativity
A few weeks ago I watched an interesting social media video about false accusations. The video was approximately seven minutes long and focused on two central themes. At the end of the video, the producer gave a brief statement: “The video you just watched was a skit with actors. It was not real. Unfortunately, we…

Hope and the Unexplainable
Have you ever prayed for something so strongly…and yet, as soon as it happened you dismissed it as coincidental?

I need to read this!” The first paragraph starts off great; your hopeful that you can get some clarity from the article. Then, inexplicably, you notice the article didn’t touch upon anything…

The Story of Hope
Someone once asked me to describe my blog, The Hope Chronicles. I looked at them and replied, “It’s a blog about hope!” “Really, Kathy?” was the response followed by a shaking of the head. It got me thinking: If someone with limited time wanted to read about hope and had to search through tons of…

Renewed Hope
My favorite Tyler Perry film of all time is—hands down—Madea’s Family Reunion. The 2006 cult classic deals with many themes including battered woman syndrome, childhood abuse, foster parenting, and, of course, finding true love. However, its true theme emerges and is summed up beautifully in Cicely Tyson’s monologue toward the end of the film: living…
