Had the best time with my three best girlfriends yesterday, talking about HOPE - what it means to us, how it feels, how to recognize it and how to use it to motivate action. The casual, honest and authentic conversation flowed to personal stories of things we were dealing with, plans we had for the future, overwhelm we were feeling in different aspects of our lives...and we left there feeling uplifted, inspired and protected by this amazing group of women.

Thought we would recreate these Hope Chats once a month, with the casual gathering open to all. I'd love to have you attend and bring a neighbour, a spouse, a sibling, a friend - truly anyone who's looking for a community of supportive, positive, action-oriented people who just love to get to know other fab people. We'd love to meet you all!

Hope Chats start in October and will happen the 2nd Wednesday of each month after that. We will take time off in the summertime and other than that, we'll just see where it goes! Location will be at TradeSpace co-working space off Blackfoot Trail, 4030 8 St SE, Calgary. There is no cost - just bring yourself, your open mind and your compassionate heart.

Can't wait to meet you!
