As worldwide economic conditions continue to occupy our thoughts and invade our lives, it becomes increasingly difficult for many of us to “Hang on to Hope” in a better future. But we CAN and we MUST hang on by taking action to design a productive future and working to secure it.
We can start by reconsidering the choices we make each day and taking action to eliminate unhealthy habits and addictions that are holding us back.
In previous blogs, I have highlighted resources which are available to assist us in finding our way forward and providing the help we need to “untangle” our lives. A special section on dealing with Addictions has been added to the “Keys to Resilience” page and resources are highlighted on our Resources Page.
Updates for June, 2023 have been included on the following “Hanging on to Hope” web pages:

Keys to Resilience
The Punchlines page this month includes the normal segments of “Hope and Humor”, “Life Matters”, and “Uplifting Expressions”. Excerpts from the page appear below:
Gregory Charles Reynolds has been on a spiritual quest for most of his life. As a student at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota, he studied religion, philosophy, and art. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamline in 1971 and has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota. After a rewarding 32-year career working in the Finance and Education and Training organizations within 3M Company, he retired in 2007. In 2016, he came out of retirement to work for a non-profit organization and subsequently "retired" a second time in 2020. Gregory is no stranger to adversity and the struggle we each face to not only survive, but attempt to thrive under adverse conditions and circumstances. Recovering from a heart attack in 2008, he found renewed strength, support and belief in the power of an awesome God. He could not have done this alone, and is extremely grateful to family members and friends who guided him through a difficult time. Having witnessed the effects of illnesses and diseases like cancer on close friends and family members, he is constantly reminded that adversity impacts not only the patient or victim, but also those who care about the health and wellbeing of others. Believing that adversity in all our lives is not optional, Greg has continued his quest to find meaning and purpose in life and has established this website and blog to create hope in the future for all of us.
