About Me

Hi, I’m Miranda, author of A small hope

I am in the pursuit of a well-balanced mind, spirit, and life, and thought I’d take others on the journey with me to hopefully inspire them to find their eunoia.

A small hope is inspired by Matt Haig and his work The Comfort Book in which he repeats “nothing is stronger than a small hope that never gives up”. I have a small hope I can have a big impact on others with a bit of story telling, science, and a lot of truth.
