"A New Hope Again and Again"  

Blog No.44
 

You have all been a part of what has inspired me to work harder on my orphanage project and to MAKE the time for it. 

 

I think I've been thinking, all this time, that there would come a perfect moment, a perfect clearing of my schedule to work on this project, and of course life's not like that. 

 

Perhaps I have been afraid that if I accomplished my dream, then I would hace none left. That is foolishness! I should know, of all people, how full life is and if I think I can solve all of life's problem for all the orphans in the entire Galaxy, then I am delusional! But I CAN do my best to imrpove their lives and give as many as possible the best chance I can. 

 

There is a phrase that I have heard a lot lately. 'A New Hope'. 

I heard it when I was visiting a village in the Mid-Rim and there was a group of people celebrating the birth of the Mayor's daughter. Mayor Hugo Hope was a jolly man and he and his wife, Helga Hope had 8 children already! (they were practically the village all by themselves!) So the villagers were saying that there was 'A new Hope!' in the village.

Charming, I thought! 

 

Then I was looking through the records to find the first rendition of an old law (regarding Portion Bread and not relevent to this story) and saw that the era I was reading about had the heading 'A New Hope' 

It was all about the rise of the Resistance, during the Empire's rule and it was fascinating!

Read more like a novel than a report of facts. 

 

I am filled with a new hope every time it is the Emperor's month to handle the holo-work. True, I am crushed with disappointment every single time and then I have to race to get both his work AND mine done at the same time, but I keep hoping, anyway! (Did I record that? Dr8ke, erase that from the article.)

 

I thought that A New Hope sounded great and was a wonderful title for a report on a chapter of life, especially for an entire people. 

This is why I have decided to name my first Orphanage, 'A New Hope!'
It sounds right and 'A New Hope' Orphanages will hopefully be popping up all over the galaxy. 

 

I will MAKE the time and will make my dream a bit more practical to start with. A Smaller, comfortable home, as opposed to something large and more expensive. In that way, I can perhaps make some actual progress and not keep piddling around with excuses and pencil-sharpening. 

 

I hopefully will have good report on this soon.

 In the meantime, please let me know if you think that YOUR town, Your planet really could use A New Hope Orphanage in it. I'll make a list. 

Good hope to you, as well! May your dreams begin to come to fruition, if they haven't already
