Welcome to HOPE”S Corner

Sometimes our articles may be

found upside down or even sideways; where everyone else's words are presented the normal way.

We are OK to be a little bit different; as authentic leaders we hold innovation & the sprint;101 mindset close to our hearts; forever!

A space where our words bounce around to find HOPE; scattered with the letters which spell it. If people stop, reflect & choose to look up into our endless; sky after big storms sometimes; rainbows whisper feathers of hope around within our communities. It is by chance, if you are looking up; that will you find the invisible hope feathers falling from above. So I hope;

if your someone who is struggling right now to hold on for more tomorrow's watch this video ; (see below). So if your seeking a reason; to stop & enjoy the mindful moments with peace from within, it's now!

This month our focus is on aging & the difficult parts of patient journeys when it's interweaved between different systems & specialities.

Trying to navigate between hospital

{Emergency}, community & home ; is like trying to build a puzzle face down.

Not impossible however pretty much impossible, confusing right? Check in with us in March to hear more about, next steps HOPE is taking to help others hold;on for more tomorrow's.

[[ Palliative care, which aims to ease suffering and improve quality of life, is in short supply both in sparsely populated areas like the one where Hobbs lives and larger urban centres. A Canadian Institute for Health Information report found that most Canadians with a terminal illness would choose to die at home if they could access palliative care, but only 15 per cent are able to do so.

"If we're behind in one area, it's really giving the support to family caregivers that is required to allow a successful home death," said Prof. Barbara Pesut,

who studies equitable access to end-of-life care and holds the Canada Research Chair Canada in health, ethics and diversity. ]]

February is a different month; then the rest within a calendar. It's shorter then the others & for three years, it's missing number day #29; ending at day #28. YET, when we least expect it day #29 appears on calender. Only to disappear for another three years, returning again on the fourth. Luckily it's only within this month; where dates tend to run away. I am inspired by runner & advocate Dave Proctor ~ 2018 ~ ~ [#Outrunner] ~
