Hope Lyda is a concept and content editor, writer, and spiritual director. For more than 20 years she has come alongside others to help them uncover their own write direction. As an author, Hope has written dozens of books in multiple categories including prayer, meditation and devotion, and fiction. These offerings have sold over 1.3 million copies.
Through the practices of writing and conversation, Hope helps others explore thoughts, ideas, experiences, and personal heart-messages. Whenever possible, she mixes humor and reflection to embrace spiritual wonder and connect in joy.
Her happiest days are those that include any combination of walking, journaling, talking life and faith, downing iced coffees, and catching movies at the independent theaters in her hometown of Eugene, Oregon.
Hope earned degrees in both Journalism and Film from the University of Oregon. She more recently received her spiritual direction training through the Stillpoint extension program hosted at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. She is a member of Willamette Writers and Spiritual Directors International.
