Good morning, lovelies. Here is one of your periodic reminders from the friendly neighborhood witch: hope is a practice. It is a series of decisions and actions that cause an outcome in terms of outlook and mindset. Hope is a seed we plant, tend, nurture, and whose fruit we eventually harvest. (1/8)

Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.
