Leaving space for hope

What is lost is sometimes found again

Last month I bought a beautiful custom hand made ring from my friend Danielle.  I was thrilled with it because I love Danielle’s work but most of her pieces are too big for my taste.  This piece called my name the minute she posted it on Facebook. I picked it up from her and it just made me happy to wear and enjoy it. 

Less than a week later, I lost the ring. It slipped off my finger.  I looked everywhere and didn’t find it, and I had to resolve myself to the fact that it was most likely gone. 

Today my friend Tracy Lee Teixeira found it in her painting bag.  I’m now happily reunited with my ring.  

Sometimes in life we lose things.  Our work, reputation, relationships, dreams.  Sometimes those things are gone for good, and healing comes over time.  

But sometimes, what seems lost just might be found again. 

Here’s to lost hopes, dreams, friendships, and opportunities.   Whatever you’ve lost, I pray you find it again.  Let’s try to hope, together.
