“I’m afraid to Hope again…” & Melissa – Reflections on ENDD at CHOP, #UFDCure Cannonball, Scramble - #S10e119

Monday Oct 09, 2023

My trip summary to CHOP.

Melissa and her family are remarkable. “Doing this for the next generation.”

Why are we afraid to hope? Because fear is winning. Everything comes from Fear or Love. Focus on the love. Feed that one.
