Hiya lovely!
I’ve wrote many different answers to this question, and this is where I’ve found my peace.
I didn’t want to come in with a sob story of a “massive moment” that was a “key turning point” like it was just one moment like the movies and best selling books do. Because it wasn’t. To be honest, I was thriving. In many ways. In fact, some people would say that I was at my best. Peak athletic performance, peak financial stability, peak social status. I was put on a pedestal by people around me and I f*ckin’ loved it to be honest. Going out and hearing. “Oh my gosh, are you Hope Lunn?!” made me feel all sorts of yummy stuff.
I created a really good life for myself, I was truly on a successful path in many avenues yet at the same time some deep parts of me just weren’t happy.
I couldn’t make sense why I never felt enough, no matter how hard I tried - no matter what I did, all those things that I thought would be the thing that finally gives me that “enough” feeling.
I could feel in my soul the answers were out there. Somewhere. I needed to find them. No matter what I had to do. No matter what I had to sacrifice.
This was at the age of around 19. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to liking who I see in the mirror and how I live my life, helping others live an empowered life and not harming the earth whilst I enjoy this precious and short life.
Wait hold up - Liking myself is an understatement - I hope to love her and meet all of her needs and desires as deeply and in all the ways I have wanted and expected other people to. I’m 110% in on this journey now, proper balls deep with God/Source guiding every step, so I continue to deepen my ongoing practise of loving and caring for myself, the planet and every other sentient being as we all grow and evolve with time.
Because that what it is - a practise. A conscious effort.
I’ve always been a person who loves helping others, making them feel good, lifting them up. An ex people pleaser. A person who’d love to give presentations at school. The friend who’d do everyone’s makeup and let them borrow my outfits.
I want to see everyone win, in their own way. Whatever “winning at life” means for them. I don’t believe there’s a one size that fits all, except for those double tie pants you get in South East Asia.
I’ve found joy and contentment in the smallest of details. The types of thoughts I think as I’m doing mundane tasks as well as the intention and meaning I give to things.
How we narrate our life influences how we feel, and how we feel influences how we behave. For me - feeling joyful also means feeling accomplished, empowered and like what I do is part of a bigger then me purpose.
To be honest, The Oracle Of Hope chose me. I love to share what I’ve learned, both in knowledge and wisdom, and this makes the most sense to me more than anything in the world. I can’t not do it. Anytime I “take a break” from helping others intentionally, I always end up finding myself being “the answer to someone’s prayer” which activates so much humility and devotion to divinity within me, whilst putting a large piece of wood onto my internal fire of passion for a purpose driven life.
People needing help find their way to me. At the right place, at the right time. How can I not answer the knock at my door? In an ever changing world, where just as we think we’ve finally got a grip on reality it all changes again, or we change again, and being a light in someone else’s darkness is what brings every cell within me peace and a sense of fulfilled purpose.
At the end of the day - There’s only one person who you spend every second of every minute of every day for your entire life with. If you haven’t guessed it yet - That person is you.
So I am committed to and I invite you to join me, to do whatever you need to do to ensure you like this person, how you engage in the world, how you interact with others and to live a life you will look back on and be proud of. Whatever that looks like for you. And remember, every second is a chance to start over again.
Thank you for your presence,
With infinite love and a sexy shower of blessings for you and everyone you’ve ever laid eyes on,
Hope x
