by Hope
Today we stop and we honor the many heroes who laid down their lives for our freedoms. These heroes left their homes, creature comforts and many times families to fight for us. And they never came home.
Children grew up without their fathers. Wives became widows. Parents had to bury their sons and daughters. Because these many men and women chose to sacrifice their lives and their freedoms so that I/we can enjoy ours.
I hope you enjoy some time today with your loved ones. Eat a phenomenal food. Laugh and love those around you.
But do not forget those who have gone before us…those who died for us.
Let’s remember and honor them today!
Hope is a resourceful, solutions-driven online business manager with over two decades of experience helping clients streamline operations, manage projects, and grow their businesses through digital marketing and technology.
But life has a way of rewriting your plans.
A year ago, Hope made the decision to move in with her aging parents full time – a season she wouldn’t trade, even as it came with its own financial and emotional weight. Earlier this year, she lost her mother, and is now walking the tender, disorienting path of grief while learning what “forward” looks like from here.
Hope came to the Blogging Away Debt community in 2015 as a single mom raising five foster and adoptive children. She’s written through job changes, financial setbacks, and the bittersweet transition to an empty nest. Her kids are finding their footing in the world now – and so is she.
Rooted in faith and fueled by the same perseverance she’s brought to every hard season, Hope is ready to face her finances with fresh eyes and an honest pen. She believes that clarity, courage, and community can change the trajectory of anyone’s story including her own.
She lives in Austin, TX with her dad, loves adventures with her dog Addie, and is figuring out, one step at a time, what this next chapter is meant to be.
So, what do you think ?
