two brilliant, beautiful additions.


first off, we are so, so, elated to welcome Sam to the someday hopes team.  she is an amazing writer, blogger, & dreamer.  we're pretty stoked for her to share her hopes on this little blog. if you read her blog, you'll understand why- if you haven't had the privilege yet, just hop right on over & immerse yourself in her beautiful words. (you're welcome! ;)

secondly, we have added a new little feature to the blog... starring YOU.  see up there, right next to the about page link-- a little link titled "submit your hopes"? well that's exactly what you can do, submit your hopes & they'll possibly-most-likely-definitely be featured on our wednesday posts of your submissions. rad, right?

after all, spreading hopes is what this whole things about-- 

am-i-right?

not only that, but we've added a new hopeful soul to this little collaboration.

but that's not the end of the excitement around these parts - we've got a few more special surprises up our sleeves.

but most of all, we are pumped to be back. we've missed you. and we cannot wait to hear about all the wondrous things you've been up to!
