The White Feather Project

created by Way for Hope and Jan McDaniel

A white feather has had various meanings throughout history. The most current of these is what we want to explore at Way for Hope: finding a white feather as a sign of faith and protection, a nudge to let you know a lost loved one is near. It also has been associated with peace and bravery since the Vietnam conflict era. A blessing, a sign from God, a visit from angels. All of these interpretations make sense if you look at the surrounding circumstances that often accompany this gentle message. Who are we to say for sure?

Our Way for Hope White Feather Project is an opportunity for you to read and share the stories that have touched your life, true stories of finding a mysterious sign that gives you hope and comfort. These do not have to be about an actual white feather, or they may be. We are open to submissions using the form below. Let us hear about your story and what it meant to you. Keep your submissions brief (under 500 words). We will feature some of these on a special Way for Hope collection page, which will be available on this Website for a limited time.
