Name: Hope

Age: 52

Any other information you’d like to share about yourself: Since the age of fifteen, Hope has been putting pen to paper, writing her story through poetry, original quotes and memoirs. Writing is her lifeline and her voice. When she is not up late writing, you might find Hope knitting her signature multi-colored scarves. She also enjoys Portuguese food, traveling around the world, and just about anything chocolate. But most of all she is a daughter, mother, wife and friend – the order of which changes minute by minute. www.quotehope.com
