have hope, then spread it around

Ellen and I had our first mother-daughter book club meeting on Saturday. It was so fun! We all read The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In the book, Sara, the main character, finds herself poor, hungry and struggling against hopelessness. Ultimately, it is acts of kindness between strangers that changes her outlook.
To celebrate the power of hope, all of the girls made their own hope notes to scatter anonymously around Houston. We asked them to write a note that reflected what they might like to hear from someone if they felt sad or hopeless. We were so moved and impressed by their insight and generosity.Check out our little hopeREVOhouston video (it helps to let it load so hit play then pause, wait a minute, then hit play again).
