It’s a famous phrase that’s often used as a rallying cry – but maybe it can also be a prayer.
After two difficult years, I decided to launch a lifeline for myself, a daily search for hope. I’m not talking sugary sweetness.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve written about Costa Rica on the regular.

My new yearlong project, Costa Rica Day by Day, launches September 15th – Independence Day.
