Hi! My name is Leah Hope Goldberg, a 20-something writer, college graduate, arts enthusiast, and individual who believes in being hopeful not only on Mondays but everyday. For now I reside in the warm-hearted state of Arizona. I currently have a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Arizona State University: The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and an Associates of Arts degree from Paradise Valley Community College. While managing life after college, working multiple internships and part-time jobs, and focusing on being happy through it all, this blog will serve as an outlet for my thoughts, fashion trends and aspirations.

With "Hope" as my middle name, I have always felt a strong desire to live up to it. In the middle of 2015, I created my own hashtag, #hopeformondays, to use every Monday on my Instagram. On those photos I post insightful and positive quotes and ideas to not only give myself more hope for the beginning of a long week but also for those who find my posts. I thought I should create a more universal way to spread #hopeformondays through this blog. Mondays are like breakfast, having a good, healthy one can make or break your attitude for the rest of the week. I encourage any reader to share these thoughts with those around them and share your own with me.
