Bad news and tragedy surround us. The challenges appear to be enormous. Daunting. How do we hold ourselves up and make a difference in these times?

Grounded hope emerges when we look at reality straight on, stand firm, and determine to believe that a better future is a possibility worth striving for.
Grounded hope helps us access our personal power. It is a mindset for strengthening resilience and our capacity to organize and act.
