[Source: Barker quotation is from my friend Kashia Gale. Use of BrainyQuote.com (quote ends with “… can change the world”) and ThinkExist.com (quote ends with “… is making a positive difference”) turned up two other variations. I like Kashia’s version best. Hope is a special word for me.]
Speaking of hope, please be sure to visit Kashia’s blog “Whispers of Hope.” Her blog features great photography, texts and poems – all of hope inspiring people. Read her posts, view the photos, comment, and send in your submissions concerning hope!
