3 Ways to Build a Durable Hope

Over the past week, I've really been giving some thought about how (exactly) to build a durable hope. And I've come up with three ways to specifically do that. In this video, I'll share a bit about my thoughts on that-as well as how Thanksgiving went this past week.

Hi there! I care, and you matter. I'm Shannon, and I'm a former classroom teacher, current writer, and passionate stress mitigation strategist. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where I work inside a cozy closet with my many cats, including an ample Tortie named Ginger, who thinks she owns the place. (She’s not wrong.)

Thanks! Me, too. I'm already finding these three "thought pillars" helpful! Hope they help you, too!

Glad your Thanksgiving went so well! Where did you say the mashed potato recipe can be found? I'd love to give them a try 👍🤗 Also love the "Pace, Space and Grace" concept. Another great "visit" 💕 Enjoy your favourite season to the fullest!!

Oh, my! I'm so sorry! I've since added the link to *that* old video in the description box for this video. But here it is *just* for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/el6okqd3ns-Yj7c (Just click it, then check out the description in that video. I typed out the entire recipe there. Seriously, I would not stay sane on Thanksgiving day if it weren't for this "fail-safe, make-ahead" recipe! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)

For real! Where has this year gone? I love your pace, space, and grace steps to building hope. Fun pics! That's awesome Thanksgiving went well. I've never thought about what a vegetarian thanksgiving meal would look like- sounds interesting! I buckled and had to get bifocals (progressive lens). They did take a few days getting used to, but so helpful. Happy belated birthday! 🎂

@keylolodale I assure you that a vegetarian Thanksgiving is carb-loaded, calorie dense, and utterly delicious! 😋 (At least it is over here!!!) Now, let's make 2025 the best year yet! (And thanks for birthday wishes ❤️)
