About Hope, The Logo, and Contact
About
This is me on the stage of the Tusten Theatre in Narrowsburg, New York. The compass next to me and the Hope Unleashed behind me are two of the four pieces I created for the set of Zoe Comes Home. It was a pleasure to be part of this community tapestry and production.
My enjoyment of the arts began in elementary school. So what happened after my first college graduation with the BA diploma in hand and two teaching certifications? I began a career in education that has spanned 40 years. You can learn more about that facet of me at www.Hope4Education.com
Where has that curiosity and creativity wandered?
Now, you can visit Dr. Hope’s Hub to see more about my artwork and authorings.
With more grant proposals under consideration, I will continue this adventure with you.
It is a mosaic of wandering, wondering and creating community engagements.

Footnote from me about the site’s logo
This site, Hope’s Compass, is an act of courage for both of us, you and me.
The logo you see above is one of the earlier iterations of Hope’s Compass. The colors, the degrees of offset cardinal directions, and the symbols, represent me, Hope Sara Blecher Croney.
The compass represents wandering with wonder without being labeled as lost.
The directions are for you to have hope in what you do. The H in the middle is for Hope, for me embracing my name and its meaning.
The colors are the Earth and close to burnt sienna, my favorite Crayola crayon color, along with a nod to
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
When you look at the new version of the logo, you aren’t seeing things. Are you wondering if your eyesight is off, if the N-S-E-W inner circle is not quite aligned with the H-O-P-E?
It is a bit unaligned, a bit off the 90 degrees and 360 degrees of an actual compass. That’s on purpose because I see expressions of creativity and curiosity in a place where it is okay to be a bit off due north, where it is okay to wander with wonder.
