Hope Lyda has worked in publishing for more than 25 years. By day, she enjoys helping other writers shape their words, discover their voices, and refine their messages. By night, she dives into her own reflections and ideas and enjoys the wonder and challenges of the writing practice. A lifetime journaler, Hope believes in the power of writing to help anyone explore their life, purpose, faith, and connection to this world.
Hope is a content development editor, concept coach, and writer companion who likes to combine spiritual direction with the art and offering of creating a written message. She received her spiritual direction training (and her love for the desert) from Stillpoint: The Center for Christian Spirituality.
Her 30+ devotionals, novels, gift books, and One-Minute Prayer books have sold over 1 million copies. For a select listing, visit her Amazon page. When she has the opportunity, Hope invests in travel to experience different places and perches. An afternoon spent as a visiting observer is one of her favorite joys. All she needs is a coffee shop corner table or an out-of-the-way spot to people watch, journal, or daydream. When she has the good fortune to explore her inner landscape while in an unfamiliar external landscape, she is careful to not take the moment for granted. In urban chaos and desert stillness and everywhere in-between, she loves to be observer and a gatherer of the soul souvenirs that arise for all of us every step of the way.
She lives in Eugene, Oregon where she loves her local coffee shops, independent movie theaters and bookstores, and the chance to hang with her husband, Marc, and her clever pup Bodie.
