"In my first piece of the new year I wrote: 'May hope bloom in all our lives. Even when the stems are bare – tend to your hope. Cultivate it and it will reward you.' Hope on its own is severely limited. It needs purpose. It needs a plan. It needs commitment. And it needs for you to do your own work and hopefully the fruits of your labour will feed you and generations to come."
