a sale, a giveaway, a little hope

a sale

I thought I would have a little spring cleaning sale over in my etsy shop, the little room.

Everything is 20% off the listed price for the next few days. After you buy something through etsy, just wait to pay until you receive a revised invoice from me through paypal that reflects the sale price.

This morning, the grey and the rain came back to visit; I found myself sighing thinking it would stay all day. I sent out a little whisper of hope that the sun would push through the clouds a bit, just for a while. This evening, the blue sky peeked out from behind the grey and we have the windows open again to all that spring has brought us. It astounds me sometimes what a little blue sky and the windows open can do for a person, can do for an outlook, can do for a heart.

Tonight, I feel hope blooming a bit as the sun shines through the window. As I walk this current path on my journey, this path of grief mixed with beautiful happiness, this path of life, I find letting hope bloom to be a little gift I can give myself.

I thought it might be fun to share some of that hope through a giveaway today:

hope.full

A new soul mantra necklace "hope.full" (spelled in that SARK-inspired sort of way).

To win this necklace, just leave a comment sharing a piece of hope you have in your heart, in your world...

updated 4/27: comments are now closed. thank you for all your incredible pieces of hope....

I hope that I can learn to trust this fire that is burning inside me and continue to really see who I am.

as each day passes and my marriage continues to move toward a path of happiness and contentment and away from the destructive path it had been on, i have hope not only for my marriage but for my family, my life, and my ultimate joy in being in this world with the man i love.

I'm hopeful because the alternative is to give up hope and that is not an option for me.
Happy days,

I hope that one day she can look at herself in the mirror and be completely in love with the woman on the other side. I hope her voice grows stronger as her fear dissipates.

I have hope that when I find a new job that it will be something that will be good for me unlike the one I left behind. I have hope that it will come soon.

I am hoping that my new-found believe in turning perceived negatives into positives will stick around! I have seen amazing results already!

I like this definition I just found in the oxford dictionary:

hope- grounds for believing that something good may happen.

I'm hope-full about being an artist. Letting myself explore and create with abandon.

because you are here offering and spreading the hope and joys, I look for them when I need them. If the drawing is still open, I'l like to be in line.
