Cultivating Hope: Weekly Readings to Open Your Heart and Mind

It is hope—the ability to push past fear and open our minds to new possibilities—that empowers us to bring about positive change in our lives. Yet, amidst personal tragedy and the turmoil of world events, many of us struggle to sustain a sense of hope for tomorrow. In Cultivating Hope, spiritual leader, recovery expert, and best-selling author Karen Casey reveals everyday ways that we can open our hearts and minds to the awesome power of hope. For each week of the year, she offers a guiding principle with an accompanying essay that, if studied and explored, can help each of us achieve inner peace and a positive outlook. Themes include how we can heal through the expression of love, gain a fresh outlook by striving to understand our anger, and free ourselves of constraint by letting go of judgment. By allowing Casey’s principles, insights, and personal stories to penetrate our thoughts and inform our habits, we gain the perspective and strength to turn away from fear and open ourselves and our communities to a future filled with potential and positive change.
